ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Camden (NJ) Camden center Cesar Ruiz was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'4", 290 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Penn State, and Rutgers, among others. He's a 247 Sports 4-star, the #1 center, and #257 overall. Ruiz is a powerful blocker who actually struggles a bit with snapping, but he could play some guard if the snapping thing becomes an issue long-term. Camden is also the home of 2016 defensive end Ron Johnson, Jr. and wide receiver Brad Hawkins, the former of whom is committed to Michigan and the latter of whom will quite possibly be a Wolverine by Friday. Michigan is the early leader.

Fort Lauderdale (FL) American Heritage cornerback Marco Wilson was offered by Michigan. He's a 5'10", 163 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, and South Carolina, among others. He's a 247 Sports 4-star, the #12 cornerback, and #185 overall. He's a quick, hard-nosed kid with good instincts. The early leader appears to be the Gamecocks.

Hit the jump for several guys who committed elsewhere, plus some random bits.

COMMITMENT
Cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich confirmed that Wayne Lyons will be joining the team this season, so I wrote up a commitment post (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2015(?)
Concord (CA) De La Salle safety Je'Vari Anderson is still a possibility to join Michigan. He's a 6'1", 200 lb. prospect who's a 247 Composite 3-star, the #63 safety, and #902 overall. I talked about him a couple weeks ago as a guy who was talking about joining the Wolverines but needs a qualifying test score. He has listed offers from Cal, Oregon State, and Utah, but his Twitter account still says "THE MISSION IS GOO!! BLUE!!" with a giant picture of the Michigan banner (LINK). I mention him again this week because the deadline to sign a National Letter of Intent is Wednesday, April 1. He could still end up playing for Michigan without the NLI, but he would not be able to practice with the team until the first day of classes. For his sake - and for the team's, since I think he's a better prospect than his rankings/offers indicate - I hope he gets good results and can fax in his NLI before the deadline. It might also help with Michigan's recruitment of two of Anderson's 2016 teammates, tight end Devin Asiasi and center Boss Tagaloa.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Tyrone (GA) Sandy Creek wide receiver Korey Banks, Jr. was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'0", 170 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas State, Colorado State, and Western Michigan, among others. He visited this past weekend with a couple Lawrenceville (GA) Archer prospects for 2017, Isaiah Pryor and Jamyest Williams, who already held Michigan offers. Banks claims a 4.26 forty and is a track guy. Some teams are looking at him as a corner, but Jedd Fisch was the one to offer him, which implies that Michigan wants him at receiver.

Hit the jump for several more 2016 prospects, some 2017 prospects, an offer for 2018, and some miscellaneous bits.
