SITE NEWS: We hit 50 avatars yesterday, so congrats to user #9, OVOXO, on winning the $50 Amazon gift card. Keep uploading avatars if you haven’t done so already. There will be another drawing at #75.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Harrisburg (PA) Harrisburg defensive end Micah Parsons decommitted from Penn State. He’s a 5-star, the #1 weakside end, and #3 overall in the 247 Composite. Normally this would seem like good news, except all the Crystal Ball picks coming in are for Ohio State.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Richmond (TX) Fort Bend Travis wide receiver Arjei Henderson decommitted from Oklahoma. Michigan offered him earlier this month. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #9 wide receiver, and #37 overall. The 6’1″, 179-pounder has also landed offers from Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame, and Tennessee recently.

Hit the jump for several players who went off the board.

UPDATE: Posting has been light over the past couple days due to unforeseen difficulties. Thanks to Michael for his spring optimism post yesterday (LINK). Also, we’re up to 43 avatars uploaded, so once 7 more of you attach a picture, I’ll be doing a $50 Amazon gift card drawing. Also also, you might want to keep an eye on the message board, as umbig11 is posting tidbits there about the MSU troubles (LINK

) and other developments.

DeSoto (TX) DeSoto cornerbacks Gemon and German Green committed to Michigan on Thursday. They are twins. I thought about making separate commitment posts, but they’re used to sharing.

First up for a review, though? Gemon, because that’s how the alphabet works.

COMMITMENT

Buford (GA) Buford running back Christian Turner committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Bowling Green (KY) South Warren defensive tackle Jacob Lacey was offered by Michigan when he visited campus last Thursday. He’s a 4-star, the #7 defensive tackle, and #124 overall to 247 Sports. Kentucky, Louisville, Penn State, and Tennessee have also offered the 6’2″, 300-pounder. He’s sawed off at 6’2″, so it will be interesting to see whether he grows a little bit or not.

Hit the jump for a few players who committed elsewhere, along with some random bits.
