Michigan Thursday: Let's Hope It's A LONG Day

Michigan hopefully is set up to have really good news when 4 star California CB David Long announces his college decision on ESPNU sometime after 6:00 today.   His final two schools are Michigan and Washington. 

In other Michigan recruiting news:

  • The Freep is reporting that Michigan did pull Swenson's scholarship and offered him a preferred walk-on spot.   Not a big fan of this strategy of a guy that has been committed for two years.   I fully understand that commitments work both ways, but if this is accurate the Michigan coaches should have let him know much earlier.  Update: Some insiders have said that the Michigan coaches had been telling Erik for awhile (during the season) that he should be looking at other options.   So this happening all in the last couple of weeks, just seems to be one side of the story.

  • In what was expected and more Michigan cooling on another prospect then vice versa -  Kiante Enis de-committed from Michigan last night.   This one has been in the works for months.  He is expected to end up at IU.

  • Another reminder that recruiting works both ways:  Jordan Elliot who has been very public he is done with recruiting and sticking with Michigan will now visit Texas this weekend.  Jimmy was expected in home last night and in school with GMat today.  This one seems very fluid.

  • Also Michigan commit TN WR Nate Johnson will now make his decision on NSD between Michigan, ND, and Miami.   I  expect he will probably flip to ND.   My guess is Michigan will not be waiting by the phone for this recruitment and will look to fill it with guys like Pie Young and McDoom. 

  • Chris Daniels a former Michigan recruit who committed to Oklahoma de-committed as well last night but is probably headed to Texas.

  • Hackett is working on a long term contract for Jimmy.  Yes, please!

  • A hot name to watch is GA LB Elysee Mbem-Bosse, he is expected to visit this weekend.
