August 31, 2012: Chandler Park beat Romulus (MI) Summit Academy by a score of 56-6. York had 2 touchdown receptions, 2 extra point conversions, and 1 punt return touchdown. Chandler Park is now 1-1.
September 7, 2012: Bye week for Chandler Park.
September 14, 2012: Chandler Park lost to Detroit (MI) Old Redford by a score of 26-20. York caught three passes for 34 yards and one touchdown, according to an MGoObserver. Chandler Park is now 1-2.
September 21, 2012: Chandler Park beat up on Southfield (MI) Bradford Academy, 58-0. York had 113 receiving yards on six catches and three touchdowns. Chandler Park is now 2-2.
September 28, 2012: Chandler Park defeated Detroit University Prep by a score of 18-0. York had three catches for 39 yards and three tackles. Chandler Park is now 3-2.
October 05, 2012: Chandler Park won over Detroit (MI) PEC Prep by a score of 41-6. Chandler Park is now 4-2.
October 13, 2012: Chandler Park defeated Warren (MI) Collegiate, 20-9. Again, no statistics appear to be available for York, but he did have at least one “leaping catch.” Chandler Park is now 5-2.
October 19, 2012: York put up his team’s only points in their 44-6 loss to Warren (MI) De La Salle on a 14-yard touchdown reception. Chandler Park finishes the season 5-3.
August 24, 2012: Morris’s Warren (MI) De La Salle team beat Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer by a score of 35-7. Morris was 14/26 passing for 177 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.
September 1, 2012: De La Salle lost to Cleveland (OH) St. Ignatius by a score of 49-13. Morris was 9/22 passing for 104 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. His team is now 1-1.
September 8, 2012: De La Salle beat Dearborn (MI) Fordson by a score of 40-19. Morris completed 9/18 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Warren De La Salle is now 2-1.
September 15, 2012: Even though Morris was diagnosed with Mono earlier in the week, he still managed to play the first half of De La Salle’s 28-0 loss to Birmingham (MI) Brother Rice Saturday night. Shane completed 8/17 passes for 87 yards and one interception. Warren De La Salle is now 2-2.
September 23, 2012: By now you probably know that Shane Morris has mono and is out of action for the foreseeable future. His team put on a good performance against Detroit Catholic Central Sunday afternoon but ultimately fell in overtime by a score of 31-30. De La Salle is now 2-3 and most likely out of postseason contention.
September 29, 2012: De La Salle played host to Ontario (Canada) Niagara at St. Claire Shores Lake Shore on Saturday afternoon. Despite Shane’s absence, De La Salle took care of business and won the game by a score of 32-0. De La Salle is now 3-3.
October 6, 2012: Shane Morris says that he will be back in action before the end of De La Salle’s season. His team was rolled by Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, 35-0, Saturday while he cheered from the sidelines, but Morris said before the game that he has been back practicing for over a week and is waiting to be cleared medically for full contact. He is currently being held out due to a swollen spleen, but tweeted that he feels “100% better.” De La Salle has two games remaining; they are now 3-4.
October 12, 2012: Morris returned to the lineup for Warren De La Salle after missing the last three full games due to mono. His Pilots defeated University of Detroit Jesuit, 39-12, and he finished the game 17/22 passing for 163 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions with a long of 28 yards. De Las Salle is now 4-4.
October 19, 2012: Morris played exclusively in the first half of his team’s 44-6 win over Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park if only to “shake off some rust.” He finished with one touchdown and two interceptions on 5/14 passing for 138 yards. 118 of those yards came on two screen passes. De La Salle is now 5-4 and likely out of postseason contention.
Denzel Ward with Wolverine Nation’s Chantel Jennings
ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2013
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech offensive guard David Dawson decommitted from Michigan. He will visit Florida next weekend, and there’s a very strong chance that he will end up committing to the Gators, as he’s been flirting with visiting Gainesville for months. Check out his decommitment post for more analysis.
ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2014
Chicago (IL) Hales Franciscan offensive tackle Denzel Ward was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’9″, 295 lb. kid with an offer from Purdue as well. Ward’s cousin is quarterback Robert Gregory, who attended Chicago (IL) Simeon and chose Purdue last winter; Simeon is also the alma mater of Michigan offensive guard Chris Bryant.

Mike Barwick – DT – Cincinnati (OH) Summit Country Day: Barwick is a 6’3″, 275 lb. defensive tackle prospect. He just has one offer (Western Michigan), and he looks like a low level BCS prospect. He’s decently athletic, but he doesn’t use his hands well to shed blockers and isn’t explosive off the ball. As a sophomore in 2011, he had 68 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery. I would be surprised if Michigan offered him anytime soon. (Highlights.)
Kei Beckham – CB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: Beckham is a 5’11”, 170 lb. athlete from the class of 2015. He’s the teammate of 2013 Michigan linebacker commit Michael McCray II. (Highlights.)
Jaylon Brown – RB – St. Clairsville (OH) St. Clairsville: Brown is a 5’8″, 160 lb. running back in the class of 2014. He’s a small, quick back who might be a third down option, but probably won’t receive much of a look if he doesn’t add some size. Brown is the teammate of 2014 commit Michigan Ferns III. (Highlights.)
David Cornwell – QB – Jones (OK) Jones: Cornwell is a 6’5″, 215 lb. signal caller in the 2014 class with offers from Auburn and Indiana. He reminds me a little bit of former Indiana quarterback Ben Chappell. Cornwell isn’t a great athlete but has a little bit of ability to scramble; as a passer, he has a good arm and decent mechanics, but he’s got some accuracy issues. Michigan is still looking to offer their first quarterback in the 2014 class, and Cornwell could grab an offer at some point. He’s not an elite quarterback, but might be a decent player to follow one class after Shane Morris. (Highlights.)
Nathaniel Devers – OG – Massillon (OH) Washington: Devers is a 6’3″, 265 lb. offensive guard prospect from the class of 2014 with a lone offer from Toledo. He has visited and camped at Michigan before, and he could be in line for an offer down the road, but I don’t see him as an elite prospect. (Highlights.)
Ramroth Finnegan – QB – Columbus (OH) Whetstone: Finnegan is a 6’3″, 205 lb. quarterback prospect from the class of 2014. He doesn’t have any offers at this point, and he doesn’t appear to have a big-time arm or be an elite athlete. I would not expect an offer from the Wolverines to come for Finnegan. (Highlights.)
Brandon Fritts – TE – Mentor (OH) Mentor: Fritts is a 6’4″, 210 lb. high school receiver who looks like he’ll grow into a tight end in college. He’s somewhat reminiscent of current Michigan freshman Devin Funchess. As a sophomore in 2011, Fritts had 50 receptions for 800 yards and 9 touchdowns; in Mentor’s first six games this season, he had 400 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. His former teammate is current Michigan freshman defensive end Tom Strobel. (Highlights.)
Connor Hayes – OG – Traverse City (MI) West: Hayes is a 6’4″, 280 lb. offensive guard prospect from Traverse City. He’s a 2014 prospect who already has offers from Central Michigan and Indiana. He camped at Michigan this summer. He appears to be more of a drive blocker than an all-around lineman, and could use some more work on his pass blocking. He could be a backup option in the recruiting process, but he has the potential to grow into a legitimate BCS prospect. (Highlights.)
Da’mario Jones – WR – Westland (MI) John Glenn: Jones is a 6’2″, 185 lb. wideout who is committed to Central Michigan. He also has offers from Bowling Green and Toledo. Jones transferred to John Glenn this offseason after playing in New Jersey previously. Michigan is still pursuing Crete (IL) Crete-Monee wide receiver LaQuon Treadwell, but Jones looks like a guy who could garner a late offer if things with Treadwell go south. (Highlights.)
Jamarco Jones – OG – Chicago (IL) De La Salle: Jones is a 6’5″, 285 lb. offensive guard prospect with offers from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and a few others. While some sites list him as an offensive tackle, he reminds of class of 2011 recruit Chris Bryant, who has been playing guard at Michigan.
Marcelys Jones – OG – Cleveland (OH) Glenville: Jones is a 6’4″, 325 lb. offensive guard prospect. He plays offensive tackle for Glenville, a school that has sent Frank Clark and Willie Henry to Michigan in recent years; however, he’s not a very technical player, and is more just a huge body. He can push people around, but he’s not a guy who should be blocking elite edge rushers. Jones already holds offers from Indiana and Ohio State.
Tyler Jones – DE – Albertville (AL) Albertville: Jones is a 6’5″, 270 lb. strongside end/defensive tackle prospect for the class of 2014. He looks more like a defensive tackle to me, and I’m not sure he’s a Michigan-level prospect. He has no offers at this point. (Highlights.)
Jake Khoury – DT – Traverse City (MI) St. Francis: Khoury is a 6’3″, 270 lb. defensive tackle from the 2014 class. He’s the cousin of former Michigan center Rocko Khoury. Jake camped at Michigan over the summer and doesn’t have any offers at this point; I do not foresee one coming from the Wolverines in the near future. He’s a decent athlete, but he doesn’t deal well with blockers and appears to struggle with fulfilling his assignments. (Highlights.)
Tyree Kinnel – CB – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne: Kinnel is a 5’11”, 170 lb. cornerback from the class of 2015. He attends the same school as former Michigan players Terry and Terrence Talbott, who have left the program due to injury and discipline, respectively. (Highlights.)
DeShone Kizer – QB – Toledo (OH) Central Catholic: Kizer is a 6’4″, 205 lb. dual-threat quarterback from the 2014 class. So far he has netted offers from Boston College, Illinois, Louisville, and Nebraska, along with a few others. He camped at Michigan, but the Wolverines have had several chances to offer and haven’t done so. That leads me to believe that Kizer won’t be offered by Michigan, at least not very early in the process. (Highlights.)
Chase Lash – OT – Massillon (OH) Washington: Lash is a 6’5″, 287 lb. prospect for the class of 2014. At this point he has no FBS offers. His favorite school is Ohio State, so if both the Buckeyes and Wolverines come calling, he’ll probably be headed to Columbus.
Lawrence Marshall – DE – Southfield (MI) Southfield: Marshall is a 6’4″, 215 lb. defensive end from the class of 2014. He has offers from Bowling Green and San Diego State. Through seven games of his junior season, he has 35 tackles and 6 sacks. He looks to me like a guy who could start off his career as a weakside end grow into playing the strongside spot. (Highlights.)
Shane Morris – QB – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Morris committed to Michigan last year. Here’s a look at how his senior season is going.
Kyle Rachwal – TE – Lapeer (MI) East: Rachwal is a 6’3″, 215 lb. tight end/linebacker with no offers at this point. He also visited for the UMass game a few weeks ago.Rachwal has some abilities on both sides of the ball, but I’m not sure that he’s a Michigan-caliber tight end or linebacker. He’s the type of player who can probably get a scholarship to a MAC team or even somewhere like Indiana, but he’s just not on the same level as Jake Butt, Devin Funchess, James Ross, etc. He also comes from the alma mater of former Wolverine Jake Long. (Highlights.)
Gelen Robinson – DE – St. John (IN) Lake Central: Robinson is a 6’1″, 230 lb. defensive end/outside linebacker in the class of 2014. He is the son of former Purdue and NBA basketball star Glenn Robinson, and his brother is Michigan basketball player Glenn Robinson III. Gelen might be a little bit short to play defensive end in college, but he could be a SAM linebacker. He has been having a productive junior season and could very well hit a growth spurt, so Michigan will likely keep their eye on how he develops. (Highlights.)
Jeff Rotheram – OT – North Olmsted (OH) North Olmsted: Rotheram is a 6’6″, 290 lb. offensive tackle from the class of 2014.
Chance Sorrell – TE – Middletown (OH) Middletown: Sorrell is a 6’6″, 225 lb. tight end from the class of 2014. He does not have any offers at this point, and he looks like a pure blocking tight end.
Jordan Van Dort – OG – Zeeland (MI) West: Van Dort is a 6’5″, 280 lb. offensive line prospect from the class of 2014. He doesn’t have any offers at this point, and he played tight end as a sophomore; however, it seems pretty clear that he’ll end up playing an interior line position in college. He doesn’t have any offers at this point, but athletic linemen like him won’t go unnoticed. I don’t think he’s an elite line prospect on par with the guys Michigan netted in the class of 2013, but he’s still a BCS-level prospect, in my opinion. (Highlights.)
Denzel Ward – OT – Chicago (IL) Hales Franciscan:Ward is a 6’9″, 285 lb. offensive tackle prospect with a lone offer from Purdue. Ward trains with the Core 6 group of athletes, which includes Jamarco Jones and Joliet (IL) Plainfield South LB Clifton Garrett. Jalen Watts-Jackson – WR/CB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Watts-Jackson is a 6’0″, 172 lb. wide receiver or cornerback from the 2014 class. He has no offers at this point, but they should be on their way. He looks to me like more of a cornerback prospect. I don’t see him having the run-after-catch abilities to play wide receiver at the next level, but he’s very thin and some added weight could change that perception a little bit. Watts-Jackson is the former teammate of freshman Michigan linebacker James Ross. (Highlights.)
Jake Whitley – OG – North Augusta (SC) North Augusta: Whitley is a 6’4″, 300 lb. high school offensive tackle from the class of 2014. While he has the size to play big-time college football, he looks a little stiff to be a legitimate Michigan prospect. (Highlights.)
Mikale Wilbon – RB – Chicago (IL) De La Salle: Wilbon is a 5’9″, 190 lb. running back prospect from the class of 2014. He already has offers from Iowa and Purdue. Wilbon is the teammate of Michigan offeree Jamarco Jones, and while he’s not a blazer or particularly big, Wilbon is a little bit shifty and a fairly powerful runner. He does a good job of getting north-and-south, and I could see Michigan pursuing him down the road. (Highlights.)
