Donovan Edwards is the #2 RB in the country and a high 4 star prospect on 24/7. He also lives in-state (#1 player in Michigan) and plays his football at West Bloomfield. He has offers from all the top programs and should be the top recruit on the Wolverines board.
Having such a highly rated RB in-state is pretty rare and Michigan has been recruiting Donovan for a long time. Many Wolverine fans have been watching this recruitment very closely and there was even an OSU scare earlier in the year (before the Buckeyes took commitments from 2 RB's).
Donovan says his recruitment is still open and that Michigan is a player in that recruitment. I had believed that until I read this Detroit News article this morning:
Edwards said he’s been a fan of Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan State while growing up, and he has teammates from West Bloomfield – linebacker Cornell Wheeler and safety Makari Paige – who will be playing this fall at Michigan.
While Edwards wasn’t a Michigan fan growing up, he is a fan of the program now, especially with his former teammates following the footsteps of his West Bloomfield coach, Ron Bellamy, to the Wolverines. Bellamy played for Lloyd Carr at Michigan from 1999-2002.
Donovan continues in the article talking about how it would be cool to play with friends at Michigan. If that is the only reason your considering U of M, then he probably isn't coming to Ann Arbor.
He wasn't a Michigan fan growing up, was a fan of Michigan's rivals, almost committed to OSU, and wants to see a bunch of other school across the nation. I could be wrong but that doesn't seem like a winning combination on getting the state's #1 player to commit. My best guess is he heads out of state to a football power.
Hope I'm wrong.
