Michigan Monday: AA to AA

Michigan State Football is having a hard time right now.   Their head coach gets pushed out very late in the process and the pool of candidates was very shallow.   They had to way over pay for a guy that turned them down already.   Then COVID happened and Spring Practice was cancelled.   

That is some serious bad things back to back to back.  When you have all that change, its very difficult to recruit anyone to come to your school.   MSU right now is listed to have the 64th recruiting class (24/7) in-between Miami of Ohio and Buffalo.   OSU has the #1 class and Michigan #8.

That makes the loss of wide receiver Andrel Anthony from East Lansing such a big one.   Andrel picked Michigan over MSU after Michigan has commits from 3 higher rated WR's already in the class.  If Andrel picks MSU he is the top recruit in the class and probably has a quicker path to the field.  

Not to mention a week ago today and 4 days prior to his commitment MSU had 100% of all the predictions on 24/7.

As I'm sure you know, Andrel Anthony picked the Wolverines on Friday evening and becomes the 4th WR in the 2021 class.   He is a 3 star WR to all the services and 6'2 and 175 pounds.   He is a taller WR, like the Wolverine offense likes.   AA made noise in the camp circuit last summer and gained a Michigan offer after the camp in Ann Arbor.   He is a raising star and a guy to keep an eye on this Fall, if there is a Michigan high school football season.  

Welcome to A2, A2!
