TomVH: Spring Game Visitors

Submitted by TomVH on

Here is the list of visitors I have confirmed for the Spring Game so far. If someone isn't on this list it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't coming, I might not have confirmed it yet.

Yes:

Commit Caleb Stacey (6'4", 275 lbs): Caleb has been vocal about trying to recruit for Michigan and has done so with Joe Bolden. It will be good to get him on campus in front of other prospects.

2013 Michigan QB Shane Morris (6'3", 189 lbs): Has a Michigan offer, will probably be the top quarterback in the state next year.

Instate TE Devin Funchess (6'5", 205 lbs): Another trip up for Funchess and he might come with his teammates Mario Ojemudia and Aaron Burbridge.

Illinois DT Vontrell Williams (6'2", 263 lbs): Loved his first visit to Ann Arbor, still hoping for an offer.

Instate LB Royce Jenkins-Stone (6'2", 215 lbs): Will most likely be joined by Terry Richardson, just waiting for confirmation.

Instate TE Ron Thompson (6'4", 210 lbs): Has decided not to make his announcement this week. He just changed schools so he's going to hold off. Michigan is still in good shape.

Illinois OL Jordan Diamond (6'7", 289 lbs): I haven't confirmed if he's coming with his teammate QB Robert Gregory, but it would make sense.

Instate LB James Ross (6'0", 209 lbs): His dad said they should be there.

Indana TE Pierre Aka (6'4", 250 lbs): Although Pierre just took a visit this past Saturday he told me he's most likely going to be at the spring game as well.

Pennsylvania OL JJ Denman (6'7", 305 lbs): Might make the trip.

Indiana DT Sheldon Day (6'2", 270 lbs): Was deciding where to go this weekend and chose Michigan.

Maybe: 

Illinois DT Jaleel Johnson (6'2", 277 lbs): Might come with Jordan Diamond

Instate OL/DL Kelby Latta (6'4", 295 lbs): Not sure if he'll make it yet.

Ohio DE Chris Wormley (6'4", 255 lbs): He said he'll come if the weather is good. He's been to campus enough that it's probably not a big deal.

Instate LB Tyler Goble (6'0", 232 lbs): Went to a practice last week and the coaches told him they want him to camp this summer. Former teammates with Brennen Beyer.

New Jersey DB DJ Singleton (6'3", 200 lbs): Said he's not sure if he'll be able to make it yet.

Ohio OL Benny McGowan (6'4", 290 lbs): Not sure if he'll make it up.

No:

Ohio RB/DB Will Mahone (5'11", 205 lbs): Michigan's recruiting him for defensive back and until they offer I don't think he'll show much attention.

Illinois DT Vincent Valentine (6'3", 300 lbs): Not coming.

Ohio DB Allen Gant (6'1", 182 lbs): He'll be back up for camp in the summer.

Ohio TE AJ Williams (6'6", 260 lbs): Not coming, but not a big deal. Michigan is in good shape with AJ.

Instate DE Matt Godin (6'5", 260 lbs): He's going to Penn State this weekend.

Ohio LB Kaleb Ringer (6'0", 219 lbs): Making his decision the day before, Friday the 15th at 6pm EST.

Pennsylvania LB Deaysean Rippy (6'2", 198 lbs): Told me some things came up and he's unable to make it.

Indiana ATH David Perkins (6'2", 209 lbs): At Notre Dame.

With RInger and our other 2 official commits, on top of the large number of Alumni that are rumored to be in attendance, I expect a few more verbals to come out of this weekend!!

I scanning through the WWL, and I came across an article on Eric Olson, a 6'6" 270 lb basketball palyer turn OL out of Massachuessets. 

He seems like a Michigan type of player, but I never heard of him on the board before. Below are quotes from the article:

 

 

"The 6-foot-6, 270-pound offensive tackle has scholarship offers from Boston College, Connecticut, Duke, Massachusetts, Virginia and Wake Forest. Olson said he also hears regularly from Michigan, Northwestern and Stanford.

"I love Duke and UVA, and when BC offered they entered the mix as well," Olson said. "UConn has the best facilities of any school I've been to, but academically I can't put them in the same class as some of the others.

"I can't speak about Michigan, Northwestern or Stanford because I haven't been to those three. I haven't been in contact with too many other schools."

Olson, a junior, said he's trying to schedule visits to both Michigan and Northwestern next weekend."

 

With Michigans mix of top-tier academics (which he obviously values) and quality facilities, I have to believe we might have a chance. In case your wondering, next weekend happens to be this weekend. Does anyone know anything about him?

these last two LB's are both top notch, better than the two OL recruits.  setting a good stage for the future.  this will be a small class but top notch quality.  may not be highly rated since the services base their ratings on number of high recruits, therefore a small number of high recruits wont get a much love
