Michigan Friday: Gets One 5 Star - Loses One

Last night was a good night for the Wolverines, a future Wolverine on the basketball court was hitting some incredible 3's and even though ESPN said DPJ was announcing at half time, the announcement after the game was worth the wait. 

Donovan Peoples - Jones might be the highest rated player to come out of the state since Drew Henson or Wheat Sr.  There weren't many recruiting sites when Drew was a senior but he was considered the #1 player in the nation that year.  DPJ is a 5 star to all services, minus ESPN (who has him the #27 player but a 4 star).  All the services have him in the top 32 and 24/7 has him rated the 8th player in the nation.   This is a smart kid that wants to study Pre-Med had took a quick internship at U of M hospital last summer.  His father is a doctor. 

This was a must win for the Wolverines as they couldn't miss out on a position of need and a 5 star in their own backyard.   He is a kid with really no weakness: he is big (6'2 and 200), fast(4.4), smart, and a great athlete.

I won't list all his offers because a player of this quality can go anywhere he wants.  His final schools were FSU, OSU, MSU and the Maize and Blue.  Michigan now has 3 WR's in the fold and will hold out until signing day for Alabama 4 star Nico Collins.

• Isaiah Wilson picked Georgia this morning.  Shoot.
