David Long who has been a silent commit to the Wolverines made it official last night in picking Michigan on ESPNU.
David is an Army All American and one of the best CB's in the country. He is a consensus 4 star to all the services and had offers from the likes of USC, Stanford, Oregon, ND, Arizona, UCLA and many more. He was once committed to Stanford.
David is 5'10 and 176 pounds and is considered an elite cover corner. If you watched the AAA game his size didn't seem to matter has he had a pick in the corner of the end zone. If you can't tell, I really like this kid and think he is very athletic. Here is a link to his senior highlights and his AAA game pick.
With more news, I will mention later. Michigan still has space left for another corner in this class and all recruiting efforts now will focus on LaVert Hill and Jordan Fuller. ATH Khaleke Hudson is also a top priority but he is being recruited as a Safety on defense.
Surprise #1: 6-6, 290-pound OT Stephen Spanellis tweeted out he was de-committing from Virginia and will commit to the Wolverines. Stephen visited last weekend and seemed to love the Wolverines. From my understanding, the Michigan coaches had hoped he would commit but was not expecting such a quick decision. Steve is a 3 star prospect with offers from the likes of MSU, Arkansas, Miami, South Carolina, VA Tech, GA Tech, Maryland, Illinois and others.
Steve has ties to the Michigan program as Henry Poggi's dad is his HS coach and he is also a teammate of Michigan commit Devery Hamilton.
Surprise #2: CB Antwaine Richardson de-commits from Michigan. He is a guy that committed last summer and we really haven't heard much from him as he blew out his ACL in August last year. If your wondering, the buzz is Michigan was not expecting this de-commitment and it fully came from Antwaine. He has offers from other big schools like Miami, Syracuse, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wake Forest.
Big Visitor Recruiting Weekend.
- Gary is in A2 on an unofficial as was spotted at Pizza House last night!
- Donald Stewart NJ WR who visited Stanford last weekend
- Jordan Fuller, CB from NJ - doesn't talk recruiting much, might be leaning towards OSU
- AZ DE Connor Murphy - sleepover buddy
- De La Salle teammates TE Devin Asiasi and DT Boss Tagaloa
- FL WR Eddie McDoom
- GA LB Elysee Mbem-Bosse will be a high priority this weekend
- FL LB Josh Uche a Don Brown recruit
Where do we sit today on numbers?
Michigan has 22 commits but a few guys seem very tentative at the moment. Those guys are Rashad Weaver, Jordan Elliott - visiting Texas and WR Nate Johnson who really shouldn't be considered a commit with a NSD decision coming.
If the accurate number is really 20 commits then Michigan has unbelievably 8-10 spots left.
Guys I like in this class that are un-committed:
1. Gary
2. Chase Allen
3. McDoom
4. Khaleke Hudson
5. Michael Dwumfour - might not be fully qualified yet
6. Elysee Mbem-Bosse
7. Pie Young
8. Quinn Nordin
I have no idea where LaVert Hill's head is at right now, many say Michigan leads but I could see him going to MSU. Fuller would be a huge get, he won the Gatorade NJ Player of the Year over Gary.
This class continues to be very fluid. It is going to be a fun ride to NSD.
