Very thankful that I don't have to find this myself. Good job, Ace.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:09 PM ^
Nice Ace, this helps with watching our guys tear it up.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
That will be fun to watch!
January 5th, 2012 at 1:18 PM ^
Also, saw that Ross and RJS are both starting in the Army game and Bolden is starting and was named captain of his team in the UA game.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
So Michigan LB recruits are starting in 1/2 of the all-american game LB slots...wow. I think our LB haul is equally good if not better than our O-Line haul, which is saying something.
January 5th, 2012 at 6:04 PM ^
Not to mention the one linebacker not playing in one of these games is already on campus.
January 5th, 2012 at 6:30 PM ^
We should expect Bolden to get a bump in his ratings on 247sports. Right now he is outside the top 247.
Bolden will make a nice jump, but not sure about top 25 in the country'ish. I expect a multi-year starter and very solid player for Michigan. He helps a DC maximize a scheme for sure.That is what 247sports analyst Gerry Hamilton said in their UA thread.

How is Michigan on the West but Ohio is on the East?
January 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
we are the champions of the west DUH
January 5th, 2012 at 1:49 PM ^
The organizers must realize that having Michigan and Ohio people on the same team wouldn't make for a good team atmosphere.
Also, I think there's a team from the Yucatan joining the Big East next year, so these silly "direction" things are pretty meaningless.

It's affected high school football. So sad.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^

We had 8 back in 2003: Prescott Burgess, Anton Campbell, Shawn Crable, Leon Hall, Ryan Mundy, Will Paul, Clayton Richard, and Garrett Rivas. That was a pretty good haul.
Then we had 7 in 2004 and 6 in 2009, so getting Wright would match the 3rd-most we've had play in the USAAAB.

When did the other AA games start up? Back then I think the USAAAB was the only game in town. So the numbers would be a little different if all 3 existed then or if just one existed now.
Still Great info and interesting to look at through the years, thanks.

This is the first year for the Semper Fi game.
The Under Armour game began in 2008, so this is the fifth installment.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
I was just watching last year's UA game and they had a SC Right Now about RR getting fired. They then showed Michigan's defensive commits and Dallas Crawford was in there...completely forgot he was ever committed to that class. Actually had to look him up.
January 5th, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 3:08 PM ^
Hes not coming.
January 5th, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
with Bolden, Ross, and Jenkins-Stone coming in, with Ryan, Morgan, and Demens back this group has potential to be one the best linebacking cores in recent memory with Mattison at the helm i could easily see this being a top 5 defense in nation in next few years. GO BLUE!
January 5th, 2012 at 3:07 PM ^
defense and a 5th year senior gardner/Morris with this line. I see us competing for a shot at the NC!
January 5th, 2012 at 5:34 PM ^
I am not sold on Gardner yet as a starting QB.... I do think Shane Morris has a bright future in the maize and blue but to expect him to come in and make us a national title contender may be a bit to much
January 5th, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
More Please! Can I also have Wright and Reeves? Can I? Huh?
