Former LB commit Antonio Kinard: A handful of Michigan fans were tweeting on Thursday night about not realizing that Antonio Kinard is still playing college football, which hurt my feelings deeply since I’ve posted about him pretty regularly in these updates. I guess I’ll get over it someday. . . . For a quick review, Kinard committed to Michigan in 2009 as a part of the 2016 class, but he didn’t qualify.

George Campbell had groin surgery, likely to redshirt this year. Ross Taylor Douglas didn’t make the box score for Rutgers (again). Mike Weber had 123 yards rushing for Ohio State.

TTB –
My other favorite post of yours is when you run down the former Wolverines in the NFL and how they did in the past week. Will that be returning to the site or have you moved on to other things?
This week I saw that Brandon Graham tore up the Bears, Rawls got hurt, and Brady is still suspended. Sadly there aren’t that many former players who are particularly active as most are back-ups (Henne, Denard, Wilson, etc.)

I plan to do that post as well. I just didn’t get a chance to do it last week because it was a hectic week, for various reasons.

Thunder, out of curiosity, where would you rank Mike Weber against our current RB?

I would put him at the top. I don’t know if he’s on Ezekiel Elliott’s level, but he might be the best RB on the roster if he were at Michigan. He has the best combination of speed, quickness, power, vision, etc.

Will you be doing any updates on current commits/targets for 17′ and how they’re doing in high school this year?

I don’t do updates on targets, but I have been keeping track of several of the commits. I announced a couple weeks ago that I would be posting those updates on the message board:
