Recruiting Update: November 23, 2011

Sam Cooke

ADDED TO THE BOARD

Lee's Summit (MO) West offensive guard Evan Boehm decommitted from his home state Missouri Tigers.  He plans to visit Auburn this coming weekend, and there's no reason to expect that Michigan will get into the mix.

Lyndhurst (OH) Brush tight end/defensive end Pharaoh Brown, who had been committed to Michigan, re-opened his recruitment by taking a visit to Oregon.

Willis (TX) Willis wide receiver Quan West has been offered by Michigan, although he's committed to Iowa State.  The 6'4", 208 lb. receiver has been committed to the Cyclones for six months. 

OFF THE BOARD

Cincinnati (OH) Taft wide receiver Dwayne Stanford committed to Oregon.  Stanford once sounded very interested in coming to Ann Arbor, but the 6'5", 185-pounder was seduced by being able to wear a different uniform every week for his entire career.  I can't blame a kid for wanting to go to Oregon, because they're doing pretty well for themselves.  But I don't think it's a great place for a receiver to launch an NFL career.

Cincinnati (OH) Taft defensive end Adolphus Washington committed to Ohio State.  There was a time when he supposedly had Michigan as the leader on his list, but the promise of sanctions was too much to resist.  The 6'4", 230 lb. defender had offers from Alabama, Florida, USC, and many others.
