Recruiting Visitors this weekend

Submitted by James Burrill Angell on

Just read recruiting guru Allen Trieu's article in the Detroit News about this weekend's visitors. What was probably a meh game is now attracting decent visitors. Its worth a read:

Most significant is this linebacker recruit Alexander who is committed to Nebraska. With the numbers being what they are does this mean we're possibly looking away from some of the other LB recruits now? 

Also looks like there is a 4star tight end coming in from Florida.

If Bush and Walker, especially Walker, came to Michigan, that would be huge. It would crack the wall with OSU. Get those guys and Gary, and the class is doing extremely well. We'd have to have some discussions about honoring commitments. I am fully with Brian (on not pulling commitments accepted), but as we push up toward 28 commits, it definitely becomes a murky and challenging business.

He had his OV to Georgia for the Bama beatdown.  In addition, UG tight ends had 0 catchs.  He'll be in A² for the MSU game.  We'll have a better feel after that.

Rashan Gary will be taking his OV to Auburn for the Iron Bowl.  Seems rather funny, that Bama could help us out in recruiting by embarrasing potential rivals.

seems to defy logic at times. Levert Hill is a curious case. Originally from Cass Tech, has a brother playing for Michigan, the home state has two of the best coaches in the country heavily recruiting him, and yet he is commited to Penn State. This weekend His brother and Michigan are home against a top 15 team and he will instead be visiting the dumpster fire Tennesee and its hot seat coach.

I doubt Tennessee is going to be a realistic option going forward. I live in Nashville and the natives are RESTLESS when it comes to Butch Davis' program, but I am absolutely not going to begrudge a guy an opportunity to see a Tennessee-Georgia clash in Neyland stadium in front of 100,000 screaming fans. No-one here can convince me they wouldn't make a similar choice especially since he can basically go to a Michigan Game whenever he wants.

If it was free, I'd definitely want to see Tennessee-Georgia this weekend.  Being in Neyland stadium for a rivalry game would be a great experience.  Either of the two committing there would be surprising; amongst other things Tennessee will have to face the same negative recruiting forces Michigan encountered the last few years.  But a visit, I understand completely.

Back in '73  5 members of my Princeton High School class of about 400 kids went to Michigan.
