Crystal Ballz Updates: Corley, Crawford, Davis, Delance
Since we're entering a bit of slow period for news right now, I thought I'd go through and give a quick update as to some recent 247 Crystal Ballz happenings for Michigan targets. Some of these have been mentioned before but will be re-hashed here.
We'll start with 4 star Detroit reciever Donnie Corley, who is the HS teammate of Michigan target Lavert Hill. After Hill decommitted from PSU, he and Corley said they would be announcing on the same day, potentially to the same school. While Michigan is still technically in on Corley, Corley has been more of an MSU/OSU battle, with most people thinking he was leaning towards MSU as MSU currently has 81% of Corley's Crystal Ballz. This gave some people some worry as to Hill and whether or not he would be coming to Michigan, instead leaving them to believe Hill might head to MSU with Corley.
Today, however, MSU's lead 247 writer put in a Crystal Ballz prediction for Corley to OSU. This prediciton happened about two hours ago so no one has followed suit, but the fact that an MSU writer is switching his prediction so late into the game is probably not a good sign for MSU. This can also be a sigh of relief for Michigan fans, as there has been a lot less buzz of Hill ever going to OSU. If Corley does end up going to OSU, the odds of Hill following or less than if he went to MSU.
The rest of this post should be significantly shorter, starting with Dylan Crawford. It is rumored that Oregon has recently stopped pursuing Crawford yesterday Ace put in a CB for Michigan. This is a positive for Michigan.
Earlier today, top 100 OG Terrance Davis announced a top 3 of Michigan, Maryland and Florida, and that he'll be announcing at the UA Game on January 2nd. While Davis had declared Michigan a leader for a while, recent news suggests that the staff is looking for an OT and not an OG. With the numbers crunch and top 100 prospect OT Jean Delance announcing the same day, it has been seeming less likely that Davis will join this class. Today, before his top 3 announcement, a Florida 247 writer put in a CB for Maryland. It seems like the announcement is really between Michigan and Maryland, with the pendulum swinging towards Maryland.
The last Michigan target is the aforementioned Jean Delance. Delance has been keeping his recruitment pretty close to the vest so there isn't a ton of information to go on, but he has a top 3 of Michigan, LSU and Texas, with all three schools feeling good about their chances. The most recent two CBs have gone to Michigan however, one by Ace and one from an OSU writer.
The last player to note is not Michigan target, but a player most likely going to OSU. Earlier today 3 star athlete Jahsen Wint. Wint is the composite #2036 player and just decommitted from Temple today. He has all 13 CBs to OSU, all from the past month, and is expected to commit sometime soon.

If the staff did not do an in home for a top 100 Offensive Lineman who likes Michigan thay must think they are nearly full or full with other silent commits. Maybe Michigan is planning an in home visit later?

I hope all of you make sure to leave me milk and cookies. Also, be asleep before I come into your house uninvited; because if you're not, then we're gonna have some problems.

Yeah, agreed. If he doesn't go Blue, I'd much rather see him pick Tennessee.

I thought Corley was wearing an OSU sweatshirt when he got his Mr. Michigan football award. I kind of thought that was a give away. Maybe this has been discussed already, since I've been hit or miss with reading the board, but that was my thought when I saw the picture of him on the Detroit News website.

We are talking about a generation who spends $200 on shoes for a guy they've never seen play (Jordan).

Well, Olaf, I don't think many people really care what you've said a million times.

Way to talk some smack about Ohio State. You really showed them.

I would rather have OSU have Corley than MSU. OSU is going to get stud athletes and recruits regardless of whether or not they come from the state of Michigan. MSU, on the other hand, is still somewhat reliant on Midwest recruits other than than an occasional Florida under the radar prospect.

he was ours to lose, and I'd hate to see a top 100 guy we could have had go elsewhere. Maybe the coaches do really want him and he's just decided to look elsewhere. But, it just doesn't sound that way. Oh well, in Harbaugh we trust.

Davis could have committed to Michigan a long time ago. If he misses out on his spot, it's his own fault. I don't wish bad luck upon guys like that, but the early bird gets the worm.
