2024 Recruiting Update: March 13, 2023

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2024

Michael Boganowski – LB – Junction City (KS) Junction City: Boganowski is a 6’2″, 195-pounder with offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #44 linebacker, and #494 overall.

Daniel Hill – LB – Meridian (MS) Meridian: Hill is a 6’1″, 220 lb. linebacker with offers from Alabama, LSU, Oregon, and Texas, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #15 linebacker, and #154 overall. Michigan never lands players from Mississippi, so you can probably forget about him now.

Kamron Mikell – WR – Statesboro (GA) Statesboro: Mikell is a 6’2″, 181-pounder who plays quarterback in high school. He’s a 4-star, the #32 athlete, and #287 overall. He could end up playing wideout, cornerback, or safety in college, and Steve Clinkscale extended the offer, so perhaps Michigan is looking at him for corner.

Drew Miller – K/P – Mediapolis (IA) Mediapolis: Miller is a 6’2, 195 lb. punter (#1 to Kornblue Kicking) and kicker (#3 to Kornblue Kicking) with offers from Air Force, Iowa State, and North Carolina State. He visited Michigan over the weekend and earned an offer on the trip.

Kamar Mothudi – LB – Valley Village (CA) Campbell Hall: Mothudi is a 6’3″, 220-pounder with offers from Arizona, Cal, Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #27 linebacker, and #332 overall.

Ranking Michigan’s Quarterbacks

Sports fans love to debate the greatness of players and rank them in order from most revered to most despised. And while despised probably doesn’t fit any of these players, since they played for the University of Michigan, we all have our favorites. I have endeavored to achieve the un-possible: Rank all of Michigan’s starting quarterbacks.

Okay, that’s too tall of a task for me right now. I’m working up to it. So I’m only going back to 1995, which was the beginning of the Lloyd Carr era. That’s the earliest full coaching tenure where I can count on my recollections of Michigan football. I was a big fan of Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, and the Michigan Wolverines before then, but I’ll be damned if I say I was aware enough to understand what was happening on the field.

This ranking only takes into account what the quarterbacks achieved wearing the winged helmet. High school highlight tapes and NFL performance aren’t taken into account. (After all, we can agree that Tom Brady is far and away the best quarterback who ever played the game of football, and that includes Uncle Rico.)

So if you were starting a season with your pick of any Michigan QB since 1995, which one would you take?

2024 Recruiting Update: March 8, 2023

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2024

Joshua Lair – S – Missouri City (TX) Fort Bend Marshall: Lair is a 6’2″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from LSU, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and others. Lair is somehow flying under the radar on recruiting services despite being a quick-twitch, hard-hitting athlete. I think he will probably end up being a safety/linebacker hybrid player on the next level.

Jordan Lockhart – LB – Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco: Lockhart is a 6’4″, 230-pounder who was committed to Chris Partridge at Ole Miss but decommitted a couple days ago after Partridge was hired at Michigan. Lockhart is a 4-star, the #27 linebacker, and #343 overall. He also has offers from Alabama, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC, and others.
