Goodbye, Mike Danna

HIGH SCHOOL
Danna attended Warren (MI) De La Salle, where he was a 3-star prospect, the #95 weakside end, and #2005 overall. He was a part of the 2015 class, and Michigan did not offer him. In fact, the only school 247 lists as offering him was Central Michigan, and that’s where he went for the first four years of his career. I remember him from high school, and he was just a guy. I mean, a good high school player, but not someone who jumps out at you. I mean, what kind of impact defensive lineman wears #73 in high school?

Junior Highlights: OT Giovanni El-Hadi

2021 Recruiting Update: February 18, 2020

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2021

Christian Burkhalter – LB – Spanish Fort (AL) Spanish Fort: Burkhalter is a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Ohio State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #33 athlete, and #388 overall. There’s something special in those Burkhalter genes, because his brother Jackson is a 2020 quarterback who’s listed at 6’5″, 210; Jackson has some FCS offers and some Power 5 preferred walk-on offers (highlights here). Christian plays an outside linebacker position, and he could potentially fill a similar role to what Noah Furbush did at Michigan.

T.J. Guy – DE – Mansfield (MA) Mansfield: Guy is a 6’4″, 240-pounder who’s ranked as a 3-star, the #37 weakside end, and #695 overall. After a recent offer from Michigan, Guy decommitted from Boston College. Ace Anbender put in a crystal ball for Guy to become a Wolverine, for whatever that’s worth. You should only take the time to watch this highlight film if you’re really bored, because two-thirds of it is standing around before the play:

OFF THE BOARD

Thaddius Franklin, Jr. – RB – Hollywood (FL) Chaminade-Madonna: Franklin committed to Miami after decommitting from the Hurricanes in December. He’s a 4-star and the #188 player in the country.

Class of 2014: By the Numbers

SITE NEWS UPDATE: Last week I asked for help paying the $1,250 Flywheel hosting fee (LINK), and you guys donated $1,066.77. Thanks to Luis and Mark for the most recent donations! This is the last time I’ll explicitly bring this up before moving on because I’m appreciative of all the generosity so far, but if you want to help cover the last $150 or so, it would also be appreciated.

I recently did a summary of the 2015 class that was an interesting look back at their five years on campus (LINK). The class of 2014 was Brady Hoke’s final complete class before he was fired, so here’s a look at how that group fared over five years. Michigan landed 17 players in the pack, which ranked 20th in the country according to the 247 Composite.

Hit the jump for the rundown.
