Because of the impending football season, the recruiting updates will be bumped from Mondays to Wednesdays. There’s too much football-related stuff going on over the weekend to get everything written so early in the week.
ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Kentwood (LA) Kentwood cornerback Shyheim Carter decommitted from Alabama. Carter is a 6’0″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Clemson, Georgia, LSU, and others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 cornerback, and #51 overall. At one time he talked about wanting to visit Michigan, but that was almost certainly lip service, and he is now expected to become a Georgia Bulldog.
MISCELLANEOUS
Since a few Michigan commits began their senior seasons this past weekend, I started up the recruit tracker posts once again (LINK). So click that link if you’re interested in following the efforts of Brandon Peters, Kiante Enis, and Chris Evans, with more to come later.
Avon (IN) Avon quarterback Brandon Peters, a Michigan commit, will join Detroit (MI) Cass Tech offensive guard Michael Onwenu at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl (LINK). Peters had previously been committed to play in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.
Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep tight end Naseir Upshur will announce his decision on September 1, 2015. He is expected to pick Florida State, and there are rumors that he is already a silent commit to the Seminoles. He had originally said that he would announce on August 8, 2015, and that choice likely would have been Michigan.
Lawrence (KS) Lawrence defensive end Amani Bledsoe released a top six that does not include Michigan.
Here’s a list of a few visitors from this past weekend (LINK).
Michigan is “in a submarine” during fall camp, but they are occasionally allowing outsiders in to watch the boring practices or parts of practice. Here are some players who are headed to Michigan this weekend to watch some practices:
2016
Michael Onwenu – OG – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech
2017
Ja’Raymond Hall – OT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park
Joshua Ross – LB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s
Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian quarterback Davis Mills
A note on offer board updates: A new website means new rules, so new offers, commitments, and decommitments will be listed in the comments section at the bottom of the offer boards. So if you scroll to the bottom of each offer page, you can see the most recent developments in those areas.
ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Thousand Oaks (CA) Westlake wide receiver Theo Howard decommitted from Oregon. He’s a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect who’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #16 wide receiver, and #111 overall. At one time he was considered to be one of the California crew who could end up at Michigan (along with quarterback K.J. Costello and others), but now it looks like USC has moved in on the former Duck commit. This could potentially help Michigan in some areas, because if USC fills up at wide receiver, the Wolverines could end up with some of the leftovers.
ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian quarterback Davis Mills was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 189 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona State, Miami, and Stanford, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 pro-style quarterback, and #86 overall. As a sophomore in 2014, he completed 67% of his passes for 2,267 yards and 26 touchdowns; he also has 313 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. Mills is definitely a pro-style guy who can move in the pocket a little bit, but he won’t be a big run threat at the next level. He throws a nice deep ball and anticipates coverages well. Georgia and Stanford appear to be the favorites so far.
Hit the jump for a couple guys who committed elsewhere and some random tidbits.
