- Michigan needs WR's in this class and have their sites set on number high profile guys. One of those guys is CT WR Tarik Black who visited this past weekend. He called the visit "incredible" and he will take a few more visits before deciding, he will be at Auburn this weekend.
- Most recruits don't get to play at the Big House before they join the Wolverines. Paramus Catholic 4 star LB Drew Singleton did that on Friday night and stayed an extra day to watch the Wolverines on an un-official visit.
- Michigan commit from Florida Kai-Leon Herbert visited the Gators this past weekend and then took down his Michigan stuff on twitter. Not a great sign.
- IMG Center Cesar Ruiz will take his official to A2 for the Wisconsin game.
Regarding Bryan Mone injury, Glasgow said, he played a series after he hurt his knee, which is a good sign it's not too serious.
Two guys I'm really excited about their development are Mike McCray and Grant Perry. Lets talk about Mike first.
Mike has been a guy that has been battling injuries even before he got to Ann Arbor. If I remember correctly the highly recruited LB from Ohio had limited action during his senior year in High School after getting hurt during his senior season. After that, Mike has rarely seen the field as multiple injuries have limited his playing time while in Ann Arbor. One of the biggest concerns of the off season was, what will Michigan have at LB? Mike answered that on Saturday with 3.5 TFL and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. I couldn't agree more to what Jimmy said during his press conference regarding the middle LB play (the bold is mine and the point I want to make from his statement): Yeah, a top performer on defense. I really like our inside backers. Devin Bush played well, too. Mike McCray was outstanding. Ben Gedeon was pretty darn close. Those two played outstanding. Feel like we’re more athletic. Feel like we’re in great hands in terms of two real good players up the middle. A perceived weakness before the year, actually may now be a strength.
Grant Perry was an instate WR recruit that was headed to Northwestern. It was a done deal as the Wolverines never really came calling and he was headed to a great school to play football. Then Jimmy called right before signing day and Grant changed his mind and got a chance to play for his childhood favorite team. Grant got an opportunity last year to play early as a freshman and made a major mistake during is first game, he cut off a route in the Utah game that lead to one of Rudock's 3 picks on the day. The rest of his season wasn't anything to write home about. Then you saw him have a very good Citrus Bowl that has lead to very good first game of his sophomore year. He is becoming a very good slot WR and I expect him to have a strong season with the likes of Chesson, Darboh and Butt getting a lot of attention from the defense.
Time to put Week one behind us and now focus on week two and Central Florida. BTW, did you see what Colorado did to Colorado State this past weekend? They won 44-7. That could be a decent ball game.
