Nightly Roundup: March 11, 2020

The headline news is, of course, that Michigan is…

• canceling in-person classes due to coronavirus.
• going to play basketball tournament games in front of empty stadiums.
• canceling on-campus and off-campus recruiting visits.

That stuff is all pretty much unprecedented. I listen to the Joe Rogan Experience pretty regularly, and this was an interesting one:

Mark Dantonio and Michigan State are facing some new allegations (LINK).

Visitors: March 13-15, 2020

UPDATE: It appears that all campus visits will be suspended due to coronavirus concerns, so these visits will probably not be happening now.

2021

Markus Allen – WR – Clayton (OH) Northmont: Allen is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Pitt, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #141 wide receiver. He attends the alma mater of Michigan redshirt freshman Gabe Newburg.

Rod Moore – S – Clayton (OH) Northmont: Moore is a 5’11”, 170-pounder with offers from Cincinnati, Maryland, and Pitt, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #72 safety. As a junior in 2019, he made 85 tackles, 4 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries. He’s a teammate of Allen (see above).

2022

Holden Geriner – QB – Savannah (GA) Benedictine: Geriner is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, and Georgia. He does not yet have a Michigan offer, but one could be forthcoming. He plans to visit next week.

Devin Gil, Ex-Wolverine

Rising fifth year linebacker Devin Gil announced on Tuesday that he would be transferring elsewhere for his final year of eligibility.

Gil was a part of the 2016 class that brought teammates Gil, Josh Metellus, and Devin Bush, Jr. from Charles P. Flanagan High School to Michigan. He was a 3-star, the #67 safety, and #997 overall. I initially gave him a TTB Rating of 58 (LINK) and bumped it up to a 63 after his senior year (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2021

Greg Crippen – OG – Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy: Crippen decommitted from Notre Dame; he’s a 4-star, the #11 offensive guard, and #221 overall. Sam Webb immediately put in a Crystal Ball for him to go to Michigan. His decommitment from Notre Dame had been expected for months with Michigan the supposed front-runner to flip him.

Jantzen Dunn – CB – Bowling Green (KY) South Warren: Dunn is a 6’2″, 178-pounder with offers from Miami, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #22 athlete, and #316 overall.
