If you’re still visiting TTB, you’re most likely a loyal reader. And I appreciate it.
For the past few weeks, I have been producing less on the blog than I probably ever have. And there’s a reason for that. It’s not just a coincidence.
I don’t want to go into too many details, but unfortunately, I have a close family member who has an addiction problem that has created a great deal of personal and financial woes. I’m somebody who tries to learn about problems and fix things, which has led me to dive deep into researching, reading, watching videos, listening to podcasts, etc. about addiction.
I was already stretched pretty thin because I’ve had my primary job while always juggling coaching, side gigs, writing, etc. The blog has always been my third- or fourth-biggest source of income, so I have to treat it as the third- or fourth-biggest professional priority.
I’m still updating the recruiting boards and watching film, but to be honest, it’s tough to focus on the more elaborate pieces that I used to enjoy putting together so much – the scouting reports, the film breakdowns, the hypothetical scenarios, etc.
Ben Boulware – DT – Winston Salem (NC) Oak Grove: Boulware is a 6’5″, 305 lb. tackle prospect with this Michigan visit as the only official visit on his schedule, but he also has offers from the likes of Georgia, South Carolina, USC, and lots of others. He’s a 3-star, the #57 defensive lineman, and #501 overall.
Chace Calicut – S – Houston (TX) North Shore: Calicut is a 6’3″, 190-pounder with Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas official visits, along with this official to Michigan. He’s a 4-star, the #13 safety, and #162 overall. There are three crystal balls in place and they’re all for Texas.
Andre Clarke – CB – Richmond (VA) Hermitage: Clarke is a 6’1″, 175 lb. player who’s listed as a cornerback in some places and as a safety in others. He’s a 4-star, the #16 safety, and #177 overall.

Davon Benjamin – S – Westlake Village (CA) Oaks Christian: Benjamin is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from all over the country, and his only other currently scheduled official visit is to Texas, aside from this one to Michigan. Benjamin is a 4-star, the #5 safety, and #36 overall.
Jordan Deck – S – Frisco (TX) Lone Star: Deck is a 6’1″, 190 lb. prospect with officials set for Baylor and Ole Miss, and he has already visited Colorado and Penn State for officials. He’s a 4-star, the #36 safety, and #386 overall. He has no crystal ball picks. This is an official visit. UPDATE: Deck postponed his visit to June 6.
Brady Marchese – WR – Cartersville (GA) Cartersville: Marchese is a 6’1″, 183-pounder who has been committed to Georgia since March, but Virginia Tech and West Virginia will also receive official visits, along with this one to Michigan and then Georgia on June 6. Marchese is a 4-star, the #41 wide receiver, and #250 overall.
Ian Premer – TE – Great Bend (KS) Great Bend: Premer is a 6’5″, 220-pounder with official visits set for Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Notre Dame after he visits Michigan. Premer is a 4-star, the #4 tight end, and #45 overall, so he’s ranked above both of Michigan’s recent tight end commitments (Matt Ludwig and Mason Bonner), but there has not been much buzz about Premer ending up at Michigan. I would not be surprised if this visit gets canceled. This is an official visit. UPDATE: Premer did not end up visiting Michigan.
Zion Robinson – WR – Mansfield (TX) Mansfield: Robinson is a 6’4″, 180 lb. wideout with officials set for TCU, Miami, and Stanford. He’s a 4-star, the #18 wide receiver, and #134 overall. His father is Khadevis Robinson, who ran track at TCU, is a track administrator at TCU, and participated in the 2004 and 2012 Olympics in the 800 meters. This is an official visit.
