Michigan Tuesday: Gears Up For Commitment Week

With kids enrolling early, we pretty much need to know where they are going to school next year.   So a number of announcements are being scheduled.   Look at this string of announcements that effect the Wolverines 2017 class:

4 star Tarik Black: Wednesday
5 star Donovan People-Jones:  Thursday Night
5 star Isaiah Wilson: Friday Afternoon
4 star Cesar Ruiz: Sunday

I guess they wanted to take Saturday off.    This could be a great week for Michigan recruiting!!

• Get ready for Jim Harbaugh to LA Rams rumors after they fired Jeff Fisher yesterday.   I don't expect coach to go anywhere. 

• Peppers and Lewis made the All American team 

• Michigan visited OL Chuck Filiaga last week before he headed off to Nebraska for an official visit.   He is planning to announce this month as well.

Here are a few guys that are not coming to A2:

• DT Rutger Reitmaier is sticking with Oregon.  With Jimmy being close friends with Willie Taggart (new head coach), I had a feeling this might happen. 

• OL Alex Leatherwood is sticking with Alabama.  Would have loved to seen him in the maize and blue, but you can't knock a kid for making that decision.

• TJ Slaton is taking the SAT this month, if he gets a qualifying score he will be able to take official visits in January.  TJ has always like Michigan and I expect he will visit if possible.

Talk about guys with famous Dad's:

• I didn't know coach Wheat had another son that was playing football.  Terius Wheatley is a 5'11 athlete and played at Pioneer.  He committed to his only Major 5 offer - Virginia Tech.  Talk about a program on the rise!

• DE Robert Porcher has de-committed from Nebraska.  He did visit A2 but I don't expect Michigan to be in the mix at this point.

• Lane Kiffin will be the head coach for FAU.  Wow, there are a lot of big name coaches in the State of Florida now.  Butch Jones took a job at one of the Florida schools and Charlie Strong is now at South Florida.    Does Lane leaving effect the recruitment of Najee Harris?
