Avon (CT) Old Farms tight end Chris Clark will decide early on Wednesday morning |
- Chris Clark - TE - Avon (CT) Old Farms: Clark is announcing on ESPNU at 8:30 a.m. between Michigan and UCLA.
- Roquan Smith - LB - Montezuma (GA) Macon: Smith is announcing at 11:00 a.m. between Georgia, Michigan, Texas A&M, and UCLA.
- Iman Marshall - CB - Long Beach (CA) Poly: Marshall is announcing on ESPNU at 4:00 p.m. between Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, UCLA, and USC.
In less national announcements, here are the official announcement times of some other targets:
- Mike Weber - RB - Detroit (MI) Cass Tech at 10:00 a.m.
- Van Jefferson - WR - Brentwood (TN) Ravenwood at 11:00 a.m.
- Tyrone Wheatley, Jr. - TE - Buffalo (NY) Canisius at 3:15 p.m.
Otherwise, I put together a list of in-state players who could get a late call from Michigan in an effort to fill out the class (LINK). Wide receiver Grant Perry has already been the recipient of one of those offers and committed, although it's very late to count on many other guys getting phone calls from Harbaugh.
There will be no suspense about wide receiver Brian Cole and quarterback Alex Malzone, both of whom enrolled early and are already on campus.
Here's a look at what positions Michigan is trying to fill, along with the guys who might fill them (commits are highlighted in blue):

I have a feeling JH shocks the world and gets 2 out of 3...Clark and Marshall
ReplyDeleteI hope like hell that we get them... This class might bite us in the ass down the road when they become seniors... Like Rod/Hoke's cursed class of 2011.
ReplyDeleteI think if Clark were coming to UM he would have announced after his UCLA trip. I understand wanting a free trip to Westwood, the campus is beautiful as is the weather compared to AA and his school in CT this time of year. Hopefully he just wants some drama for signing day but if you really want to develop as a TE it is a pretty easy decision.
ReplyDeleteWith Clark now gone - feel a little better about Wheatley. Apparently TE is where he wants to play and this puts one less player at the position...
DeleteNo way Marshall is coming and I am not counting on Wheatley. He has had his official, Dad is already here so is there really any reason to wait? I think Weber will come to UM though...
ReplyDeleteI am a bit worried about the lack of D-linemen. Wouldn't have minded to take in one more DE and one DT. I really hope to get that LB Roquan Smith and at least one CB (fingers crossed for Iman Marshall).
ReplyDeleteIt's so god damn depressing that at one point we had Clark, Kirkland, Roseboro and Weber on board.
ReplyDeleteAnd Campbell, Taylor, Harris, and Crawford.
DeleteWell, UCLA looks to land a loaded class with picking up Clark, Smith and Jamabo. I wonder if they're using some $EC recruiting tactics?
