2017
Henry Bainivalu – OT – Seattle (WA) Skyline: Bainivalu is a 6’6″, 290 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #19 offensive tackle, and #110 overall. He quietly has Michigan as one of his top few schools, although Washington is probably out front. Bainivalu said he he may visit Michigan this weekend, so it’s not 100% set in stone. UPDATE: Bainivalu will visit during the week of April 11th instead.
Naytron Culpepper – CB – Miami (FL) Carol City: Culpepper is a 5’11”, 160 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Louisville, LSU, and South Carolina, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #39 safety, and #520 overall. He’s a teammate of 2017 linebacker De’Andre Wilder (see below).
Wyatt Davis – OT – Bellevue (CA) St. John Bosco: Davis is a 6’5″, 310 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, and Washington, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #7 offensive tackle, and #24 overall. He’s the son of actor Duane Davis (who was the Very Dumb Football Player in Beetlejuice and Alvin Mack in The Program), as well as the grandson of former Grambling State, Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns defensive end Willie Davis, an NFL Hall of Famer. Much like Bainivalu, Davis is high on Michigan.
A.J. Dillon – RB – Groton (MA) Lawrence Academy: Dillon is a 6’1″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #19 running back, and #249 overall. He claims a 4.59 forty and a 4.39 shuttle. As a junior in 2015, he ran 187 times for 1,887 yards and 26 TDs. He is coming to Ann Arbor on March 22 and recently named the Wolverines to his top five. He’s the grandson of Notre Dame star Tom Gatewood, a College Football Hall of Fame wide receiver in the 1970s.

Good morning, TTB readers! A few changes have made their way to this here website just this morning after a couple weeks of thought, coding, testing, etc.
Comment counts: When you make a comment at the site, your total number of comments displays itself underneath your avatar. Naturally, frequent commenters will have more comments, whereas infrequent commenters or new additions to the site will start with zero (or one, since it won’t show up until you comment at least once). I’m at 641. The prize for being #1 is glorious, let me tell you. Glorious.
Signup dates: Also displayed underneath your avatar is the date you signed up for the site. This is self-explanatory. I hope. If you want your own fancy avatar rather than a site-generated one, here’s a post to explain how to get one (LINK).
Upvotes and downvotes: Two buttons have been added to the bottom of comments. You may upvote each post or downvote each post. An upvote will turn the arrow green for you once you have voted, and a downvote will make it red. There is also a count next to each arrow for viewers to see the total number of upvotes or downvotes. Right now a small window pops up next to the arrow when you click, but I should be able to turn that off in the near future when another tweak or two occurs behind the scenes. These votes will not affect your comment totals, so posbanging and negbanging will be confined to affecting each individual post.
Please let me know your thoughts and feelings on the tweaks in the comments section.
