Avon (OH) Avon CB Ross Douglas: Douglas committed to Michigan in July.
Columbus (OH) Marion-Franklin WR Jaron Dukes: Dukes committed to Michigan back in February.
Detroit (MI) East English Village TE Khalid Hill: Hill committed to Michigan back in February.
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech RB/LB Gary Hosey: Hosey is a 6'0", 215 lb. athlete from the 2014 class. He might be physical enough to play fullback, but he does not have the speed to be an FBS tailback.
Westland (MI) John Glenn WR Da'Mario Jones: Jones is a 6'2", 185 lb. wideout who committed to Central Michigan over offers from BGSU and Toledo. He transferred to John Glenn from Montgomery (NJ) Montgomery. With LaQuon Treadwell delaying his decision longer and longer - and Michigan appearing to fall back to the pack with him - Michigan might need to offer more receivers in the near future, so Jones might be a guy watch. (Highlights.)
Maitland (FL) Orangewood Christian FB/LB Jimmy Martin: Martin is a 5'11", 205 lb. prospect from the class of 2015. He claims a 4.62 forty (but was timed at 4.84 at a national combine) and had 111 tackles, 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries as a freshman in 2011. Keep in mind that Orangewood is a small Christian school that doesn't play the best competition. However, he was named to the Maxpreps Freshman All-American Second Team. His head coach was previously the head coach at Orlando (FL) Dr. Phillips and Orlando (FL) Edgewater, the latter of which sent wide receiver Greg Mathews and linebacker Mike Jones to Michigan. (Freshman highlights.)
Detroit (MI) Loyola DE Malik McDowell: McDowell is a 2014 prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, and Wisconsin, among others. He has been considered to be a heavy Michigan lean, but he's also interested in Michigan State and Ohio State. He is expected to visit MSU for their game against Notre Dame after he visits Ann Arbor in the afternoon. McDowell stands 6'6" and weighs 292 lbs., and I think he'll eventually end up at defensive tackle rather than end.
Plantation (FL) American Heritage RB Sony Michel: A 2014 prospect, he already has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, and Notre Dame. His older brother Marken is the leading receiver for UMass, which is likely the biggest reason for visiting Michigan. The younger Michel is coming off an ACL tear he suffered during his sophomore year.
Detroit (MI) Southwestern RB Romello Ross: Ross is a 5'11", 180 lb. running back from the class of 2015. As a freshman in 2011, he had 1,312 yards rushing, 46 tackles, and 6 interceptions. He doesn't have any offers yet, but that's not unusual for a kid at the beginning of his sophomore season. (Highlights.)
Novi (MI) Catholic Central RB Wyatt Shallman: Shallman committed to Michigan back in February.
Ottawa (IL) Marquette LS Scott Sypniewski: Sypniewski committed to Michigan back in June.
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech CB Damon Webb: Webb is a 5'11", 170 lb. wide receiver/cornerback with offers from LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and others. LSU and Michigan appear to be the front runners in his recruitment.
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech LB William White: White is a 6'1", 215 lb. linebacker from the 2014 class. Of the Cass Tech trio of linebackers, I think White is the second-most talented player behind Deon Drake. (Highlights of White.)
Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park Academy WR Csont'e York: York committed to Michigan back in May.
Joe Jorney starts at linebacker for Cass Tech. Deon Drake backs him up Joe. You should check the depth chart.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. I guess I should have checked those trusty, readily available high school depth charts. Silly me.
DeleteIf it's not readily available, then do some research. Don't chastise someone for bringing up good information.
ReplyDeleteI'm not chastising for bringing up good information. I welcome good information. But telling me to "check the depth chart" is just kind of silly. A simple "By the way, Joe Jorney starts at linebacker over Drake" would suffice.
DeleteI live in Florida, but am originally from up north and am a big Michigan fan. Both of the kids from Florida attending the Umass game can play! Up until the injury, Sony Michel was probably one of the top 2014 running backs in the country and from all indications are that he has returned to form. Jimmy Martin is one of the top 2015's in Florida and is already getting a lot of attention down here. Either would be a great pick up for Big Blue. You mentioned, Sony might only be attending to see his brother play for Umass. That might be the case, but with Martin, it is conceivable that he could come to Michigan, especially given the fact that his sister attends Michigan and is a scholorship athlete on the Water Polo team.
ReplyDeleteMichel started on varsity as an 8th graders and rushed for appx. 1300 yards. Since the trip would be on his own dime you would think he would chose UMass' game at Vandy next month as a cheaper option if he only wanted to visit his brother. Hopefully the kid has some interest in Michigan and his trip to the Big House furthers that interest.
