Possible CB recruit
According to Scout, cornerback Jeff Christian has decommitted from Purdue and has Michigan interest. No offer yet, but comes from a strong program at Colerain, and senior highlights look pretty good:

Uninformative title is uninformative.

His offer sheet is pretty underwhelming.
If the coaches like his tape though, thats a different story.

How it goes with Iman Marshall and Marcus Lewis first. Whenever you have a shot at future NFL talent, you have to ride that horse until it falls dead (recruit until he signs somewhere)

One thing is certain in life, people will always want things.

Nothing like snake oiling Purdue.
January 7th, 2015 at 8:02 PM ^
We have to, RR snatched Roundtree, Hoke snatched Bellomy, Harbaugh must get someone to flip from Purdue, is tradition.
January 7th, 2015 at 8:47 PM ^
Actually, Purdue got even with us when we got Bellomy. Joke was on us when we got him...

Jay Riemersma lasted almost ten years in the NFL as a TE.

is close to being banned. It harkens of the RichRod era and does not apply when that which is being sold is beyond value.

Bite me.
January 7th, 2015 at 5:45 PM ^
Minnesota and Purdue look to be his best offers. Unless he can play safety I don't see him getting a Michigan offer.
January 7th, 2015 at 5:51 PM ^
had 50 PBUs and 15 INTs. We had something like 27 and 5, respectively. If you think that's just a matter of coaching and not talent, then by all means let's hire their defensive back coach.

Aren't we going to "jack" other teams recruits now or jackhammer?

I saw a little film on the kid here and I was impressed. He was a very physical CB.
January 7th, 2015 at 6:30 PM ^
I have a friend with the same name. He's turning 50 this year, but on the upside he taught himself how to ice skate and play hockey at age 48, and he's got some size to him. If the other one doesn't pan out, I'll give my Jeff Christian a call.

Weak league? From what I see, Colerain plays Lakota West (Ryan Kelly to Alabama, Mikel Horton to Kentucky, etc.), Sycamore (AJ Williams to Michigan, Tinashe Bere to Duke, Darius Hillary to Wisconsin), Middletown (Jalin Marshall to Ohio State), Cincinnati La Salle (Jaleel Hytchye to Kentucky, Ryan Leahy to Cincinnati), and St. Xavier (numerous players to numerous schools). Many of these schools are consistently pushing out D-I talent.
January 7th, 2015 at 8:03 PM ^
Didn't Joe Bolden play at Colerain?
January 7th, 2015 at 8:34 PM ^
Yep. His little brother plays there too and is potential D-I prospect. We also got guys like Mister Simpson and Cobrani Mixon from there.

I'm not sure that every guy who decommits from another school is worth a thread.
January 7th, 2015 at 7:33 PM ^
John Burt, 4 star WR from Florida, decomitted from Texas.
January 7th, 2015 at 7:35 PM ^
January 7th, 2015 at 8:27 PM ^
Be careful what you wish for. If I started a thread for every D-I prospect I know who has Michigan interest, this board would be extremely cluttered.

As an employee of the university, coaches' kids get free tuition to that particular school.
But as for the poster above, Wheatley would still count against the scholarship limit if they both were to come here.

I hope this recruiting class will be better than the class in 2011...In that class Michigan signed:
Barnett
Poole
Posada
Carter
Rock
Brown
Bryant
Rawls
The count is 8 out of 19 that never made an on field contribution at Michigan (Bryant and Rawls did, but it was brief, underwhelming and then they were gone)
Player from the 2011 with NFL potential total 1: Frank Clark
Starters: 6
Clark
Countess
Taylor
Miller
Morgan
Beyer
This is a solid group. If this group was up around 10, we'd have had a better team this season.
Career Backups: 4
Hollowell
Hayes
Heitzman
Bellomy
Every program has these guys so you cannot say they are pure "misses", and I'm hopeful that Justice Hayes can find a role under JH.
The combination of a smaller 2011 class (19 total) and only hitting 1 NFL caliber player left the program with a talent deficit that Hoke's coaching couldn't ovecome in 2014. It shouldn't matter if Harbaugh is coaching in 2017, but this class is important. I hope it's better than 2011.
