OT: Former Michigan Assistants land Dr. Phillips duo

Submitted by Dreisbach1817 on

Given the recruiting roller coaster Michigan has experienced over the last few months, I find it interesting to keep track of former Michigan targets, especially their connection to former Michigan assistants.

So this weekend Pitt -- where MaGee, Dews, and Gibson all landed after RR's firing -- lands Dr. Phillips S Roderick Ryles and LB/S LaQuentin Smith.  It looks like the 3* Dr. Phillips pipeline is taking Rt. 80 a few hundred miles southeast to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Both players are very good gets for Pitt, especially Smith.  While Pitt wasn't able to lure Bryant or Taylor, they still did ok for themselves.  Those Pitt assistants were also able to land Malcolm Crockett who entertained Michigan interest for a couple of weeks.

Take it for what it's worth, but this comes from Scout.com writer, I wanted to post it to show MGoBlog some love Heitzman on the other prospects there that weren't committed. "Some of the other recruits weren’t committed yet, but you got the feeling they really enjoyed it.  I think by the end of the visit they all had committed.  When we were all leaving, we said we’ll see you in a couple months.  I believe they did (commit)."

I like the attempt, but Rt. 80 doesn't go to Pittsburgh...
