Michigan Tuesday: A Huge Win on The Recruiting Trail

The state of Michigan has two very high profile recruits in the 2020 class and pretty much every service has them 1 or 2 in the state.  5 star OG Justin Rogers picked UK last week and on Friday 4 star DE Braiden McGregor from Port Huron picked the Wolverines.

McGregor is considered the top player on the Wolverines board.   He is rated the #27th player in the nation on 24/7 and #3 DE in the nation.   He had offers from all the big time programs including Alabama, Clemson, Florida, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State and Oregon.  With all those offers, still many considered it a Michigan - ND battle.  Even the insiders were considering it close to a 50/50 decision on Friday when he announced.

Well, the joke was on the insiders as Braiden had already committed to the Wolverines on a recent trip to Ann Arbor and Friday's announcement was just a formality.  This is a huge win for new D-line coach Shaun Nua and Sherrone Moore who has been recruiting Braiden for over a year.  Mostly with the loss of Greg Mattison who was expected to be his coach in Ann Arbor.  

This is the 9th player in the 2020 class and Michigan is really starting to find some momentum in this class.  Hill-Green and Zak Zinter recently committed and now Braiden McGregor.   The next guy to keep an eye on is WR AJ Henning who seems to be favoring the Wolverines.  

• Michigan Baseball lost in the Big Ten final but did make the NCAA Baseball Tournament as a 3 seed. 

• I still don't see a time for Juwan Howard's introductory press conference.  Its expected early this week.  Speaking of Juwan, Cole Bajema has reconfirmed his (2019) commitment and S&C Coach Jon Sanderson is staying on.
