UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Paul L]

It's about time for some [more] good freaking news on the recruiting front.

[WM Wolverine]

6 of the worst 8 oversigning offenders are in the SEC, the 2 of those that aren't in the SEC rely heavily on JUCO's which inflate their numbers.

I thought Grant was a Michigan lock (?)

[Hannibal]

At this point, I'm hoping for a minimum of Diamond and Grant. Reeves would be nice, but I think that we're OK enough at DB to live without him.

[WM Wolverine]

M was believed to be a leader for Grant but Oklahoma is a real threat. He's far from a sure thing and getting 2 out of 3 from Grant, Reeves & Kozan would be a good close to this class.

There is a post that says Reeves will visiting arizona on feb. 10.

[iam416]

That's is false. The post confused Reeves with Neal.

[geo weidl]

Your right iam, typo on the site.

[WM Wolverine]

M paking a push to land another DT/SDE; Willie Henry from Glenville. Slightly undersized which is why he's just a 3-star but pretty impressive film, gets in the backfield a lot (pass rushing DT as opposed to run stuffer).

[iam416]

Interesting. I actually don't know much about him. I'll have to ask around to see how he did against their top-shelf competition.

[Optimus Prime]

WM, when will we hear from Kozan?

[lineygoblue]

Michigan received a late scheduled visit from Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville three-star defensive lineman Willie Henry Saturday, and he was offered a scholarship by the coaching staff. No word yet on a commitment. I haven't heard much about the kid, maybe Mr. Talent can share some info.

He's 6'2" 270, and can play NG and DT.

Some at Rivals are melting down about this one because they think he's a roster filler, but some who have seen Henry play, say the kid is good.

This is what Rivals has on him:

[Chuck Mallory]

At this point I'll take him. I really think Michigan has filled its needs nice in this class, and did so early, and anything else is just icing on the cake.

[WM Wolverine]

Deciding and announcing are two different things, Reeves, Grant, Kozan are all suppose to decide this weekend. Which is today but they could announce later; as late as signing day...

These kids have film out on them on youtube and such, we can actually see them play. Go to youtube or rivals and watch film of this kid. His highlights are really impressive, very explosive off the ball, causes a lot of havoc in the backfield...

The real question with any lineman OL or DL is how he does against the better competition he faced as in the next level, that is all he'll face. That is why camps are huge for OL/DL, also his offer lists are those of a solid three star with a Big East, ACC and B10 type offers. He's not some complete unknown. Being he went to Glenville, he likely hit up the camps and got tons of exposure so he should be a known quantity.

Henry would probably be RichRod's top defensive recruit.
Makes me wonder why they passed on Schutt and O'Brien.
