Recruiting Update: August 27, 2012

There’s very little news right new about recruiting.  Lots of kids are already committed; the ones who are uncommitted generally want to take some official visits and/or decide after their high school seasons; and many without offers (or with unsatisfactory offers) are waiting a few games into the 2012 season before sending out new game film in hopes of earning some new ones.

So . . . if you’re a recruitnik, life is boring right now.

MISCELLANEOUS
Rivals updated their top lists, and there was some movement for Michigan recruits (including Shane Morris to 5-star status).

I started the Recruit Tracker series, so there’s a post for each current Michigan commit that will update as the season continues.

Recruit Tracker: Wyatt Shallman

Wyatt Shallman

August 24, 2012: Shallman’s Novi (MI) Catholic Central team beat Detroit (MI) Cody by a score of 35-0. Shallman had 4 carries for 50 yards and 1 touchdown, along with 8 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 sack on defense.

August 31, 2012: Catholic Central lost to Toledo (OH) Whitmer by a score of 19-7.  The running back/defensive end had 7 tackles and 2 tackles for loss but missed some time with cramps.  Shallman’s team is now 1-1 on the year.

Recruit Tracker: DeVeon Smith

August 23, 2012: Smith’s Warren (OH) Howland team beat Warren (OH) Lakeside by a score of 43-16.    Smith had 17 carries for 311 yards (18.3 yards per carry) and 3 touchdowns.  He also had at least 1 tackle and 1 sack on defense.  Howland is 1-0.

August 31, 2012: Howland beat Warren (OH) Harding by a score of 34-10.  Smith hurt his shoulder early in the game and did not return, except for a brief moment in the third quarter.  Howland is now 2-0.
