Michigan Monday: Welcomes Crawford and Other AA Thoughts

Michigan as expected picked up a talented 4 star WR at the AA game in Dylan Crawford.   Dylan was rated 4 stars to all the services and comes in at 6'1 and 175 pounds.   He had a ton of offers from the likes of ND, USC, Oregon, UCLA, Oklahoma, Arizona and many more.  

The strange thing is, Dylan mentions he would still like to take his official visits to Georgia, Miami, UCLA, and Washington.  There are only 3 more weekends before signing day, so we will see if he still takes visits now he is committed to the Wolverines.  

I like this pick up and could see him getting on the field as a true freshman.   I really like his hands, speed and route running.  He will to add weight and get stronger with the S&C program in Ann Arbor.  This is a very good pick-up and leaves only a few more spots in this class.  

Top priorities:

1. Gary - Of course
2. David Long - could be a silent, still has a UW visit to go on.
3. LaVert Hill - Good friend Corley is going to MSU, brother on Michigan
4. Jon Jones - Coach Brown to visit
5. TE, OL, DT, DE, WR, Kicker?  

Still lots of names on the board including the likes of Chase Allen, Pie Young, Don Stewert, Jordan Fuller, Levi Onwuzurike, Connor Murphy, Devin Asiasi, Boss Tagaloa, Dontavoius Jackson and Jacob Mathis.

As you also know by now, Isaac Nauta stayed home and picked Georgia.  He said he missed being at home by attending IMG.  Good luck to him. 

• AA four-star TE Devin Asiasi will visit Ann Arbor in January.

Other AA thoughts:

• Peters is raw and will 100% redshirt next year.  I see the potential but he will need a couple of years at Jimmy's QB Camp before he is ready to play. 
• David Long had a nice pick and you can tell he is an athlete playing corner.  Yes, please!
• Mike Onwenu is huge and if he can keep that weight and still be quick, he will be a nice offensive lineman at Michigan.  Can't wait to see what good coaching and the S&C program does for him.

Tonight ends the college football season.  This year was finally as success for the Wolverines.   Tonight the SEC Champ Alabama vs. The ACC Champ Clemson in the National Championship game.    History says if your going to beat a Saban coached team, you must spread them out with a talented QB.   I think if Clemson has a shot tonight they will have to throw the ball and maybe get lucky in special teams or a pick 6.    Alabama's front 7 is just too good for Clemson to run the ball.  Let's see if Dabo has a much better game plan then Mark Dantonio  (which was no game plan at all) did.
