North Carolina offensive tackle Brock Stadnik committed to South Carolina.
Added Illinois cornerback Anthony Standifer.
Added Florida running back Nelson Agholor.
Added Illinois defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson.
Added Arizona cornerback D.J. Foster.
Added Missouri wide receiver Durron Neal.
Michigan linebacker James Ross committed to Michigan.
You can now follow Touch the Banner on Twitter.
By offering Standifer (and Jaleel Johnson), does this mean the staff is not optimistic about the more highly sought-after prospects we have on the board (with interest in Michigan) such as Armani Reeves, Terry Richardson and others? With M being Standifer's only bigtime offer, I'd expect him to jump on it pretty quickly, yes?

ReplyDeleteI think Standifer is just another option. He offers some position flexibility and some skills that those other guys have. He could be a safety, and if he plays corner, he's probably a boundary corner (whereas Richardson would probably be a field corner). I wouldn't be surprised to see us take two corners, because we were gunning for one before Cullen Christian left. I think some of those corners you're talking about are still in play, but I'm not optimistic about Reeves now that Camren Williams committed to PSU.
I don't know that Standifer will jump on the offer immediately. It seems he's picking up interest from other schools, too, and he might want to see where that goes. However, I would guess U of M is in the driver's seat right now.
