Michigan Monday: NSD Is On The Clock

We're two days away folks!   For those of you new to the BHB, I will be live blogging all morning and afternoon as news breaks and recruits send in their LOI's.   It's the heaviest traffic day of the year for this site, so get in early and enjoy the ride with your fellow Big House Blog Inmates!   We won't have Tom Brady, Ric Flair or Jeter but we will have a lot of fun!

Weekend Update:

Michigan's recruiting this season has gone pretty well and pretty much as Jimmy wanted.   Yes, some players went to other schools, but the finish to date has been very strong and just what Michigan needed or wanted.   Then Saturday happened and Devery Hamilton de-committed and committed to Stanford.   That is a big loss to this class and one that probably can't be back filled.   Michigan will have to look to preferred Walk-on's and 2017 class for more offensive lineman.   If PWO's concern you, don't let it.  Michigan has been reeling in some nice PWO's and a good example is the Glasgow's who both look to be headed to the NFL.  

• Jordan Fuller, the NJ Gatorade player of the year (over Gary) is announcing tonight.   This is a tight race and could come down to Michigan or OSU.   On the positive side, he has been following a lot of Michigan players and recruits lately.    This is one of my favorite players in the class and it would be great if he comes to A2.

• Donald Stewart also committed to Stanford this weekend.  The rumor is that Michigan is full at WR now that Nate Johnson seems to be re-committed to the class (he will announce his final decision on Wed).   This is a minor loss as Stewart is more of outside WR then a slot. 

• Another combo that is going to come down to NSD are the California boys Tagaloa and Asiasi.  They visited UCLA this weekend, so there seems to be a little momentum for the Bruins right now.  I think leaving home is going to be a large decision factor for both of these guys. 

• No word yet on how Gary's visit to Clemson went.  Let's hope that is a good sign. 

• LaVert Hill continues to be a fluid situation, I think it comes down to Michigan and MSU.   Michigan might have a slight lead but not a huge one.

Michigan is also picking up solid PWO's at a pretty fast rate.   Here is a list of the guys that has accepted that type of offer.   The latest guy is a WR from IMG Kerrick Hahn.

My guess at Michigan's Board with two days left:

1. Gary - NSD can't get here soon enough. 
2. Fuller - Will know tonight.  Could be OSU or Michigan
3. Hill - NSD announcement - Michigan or MSU
4. Asiasi and Tagaloa - UCLA or Michigan - if they split Asiasi is the best guess for A2
5. Murphy - Could be Michigan, ASU or USC
6. Nordin - USC or Michigan
7. Viramontes - I believe is coming back to the class as an athlete

I also like S Isaiah Simmons if Fuller, Hill or Viramontes don't go Blue.  Right now, Clemson is the most likely spot for the talented DB. 

25 guys in the class right now, I still expect one gray shirt and one academic causality.  With a total class of 30. 

• Ross-Douglas will transfer to Rutgers.  Swenson committed to Oklahoma and Sir Patrick Scott to Marshall.
