Michigan Friday: Lots of News

Juwan Howard continued his impressive recruiting skills with the commitment of Terrance Williams another 4 star in the 2020 class. Terrance is a 6'5 225 pounds combo-forward that has a very complete game for a high school senior.   He has a nice shot from 3, a mid-range game, but also loves to mix it up in the post and gets boards.   He seems like an all around player and the type of skill set we have rarely seen in Ann Arbor.   Terrance averaged just under 16 points with 5 boards in the EYBL.

With Todd, Michigan currently has the #4 class in the country just behind the blue bloods basketball programs.  Todd is still a question mark, if he will stay with college or go overseas for a few dollars.  Either way, Juwan has proved to be a top notch recruiter, with still one more 5 star guard Josh Christopher considering Michigan as well.   His son Jace will also end up in the class.

Michigan travels to East Lansing on Sunday without a healthy Livers.

• Michigan lost a good coach and even a better recruiter yesterday when Chris Partridge took what seems to be the co-DC role at Ole Miss for Lane Kiffin.   The interesting part of this hire is that Kiffin also hired DJ Durkin after his troubles at Maryland.  Don't love the Kiffin - Durkin match as they both have trouble in their past and seems a bit explosive together.   It was only a matter of time before Partridge left the Wolverines for a bigger role and more dollars, programs were trying to hire him every off season.  Coach Harbaugh found him and turned him into a very good assistant coach. (Coach Brown also had something to do with that)

• Who might fill Partridge's role? I'm willing to bet its a familiar name:  Devin Bush, Sr. 

• Rumors are that Anthony Campanile is probably heading out as well to take a role at Rutgers. 

• Former Wolverine who was dealing with depression James Hudson played his first game at OT for Cincinnati last night.  He seemed to play well in a game which had an hour 1/2 weather delay and a big UC win. 

• Nate Woody who was on Harbaugh's non-coaching staff this season, also got a promotion and will be Army's DC.  

• Blake Corum had a TD in the Under Armour Game last night

• Tarik Black is hinting at big news on Twitter, I guess he is close to announcing his new school.  My guess would be BC for former OSU DC Jeff Hafley.   Who knows something about covering Black. 

• Penn State's WR and instate product KJ Hamler is heading to the NFL Draft. 

• Michigan's OL coach Ed Warriner's son Edward (redshirt sophomore) who is a LB at Michigan State is entering the transfer portal.

• In a sign of the times, the top ranked TE picked Georgia in the UA game last night because they provide child care. 

• There seems to be some smoke around Urban Meyer and the Cleveland Browns.
