ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Lindenhurst (NY) Lindenhurst tight end Jeremy Ruckert was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’5″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #7 tight end, and #111 overall. As a sophomore in 2015, he caught 60 passes for 852 yards and 7 touchdowns. His film is rather impressive with an array of one-handed catches and big plays, though the talent he’s playing against is so-so. He’ll be at Michigan on July 23, which is Saturday.

OFF THE BOARD

Saraland (AL) Saraland quarterback Jack West committed to Stanford. He’s a 4-star and the #8 pro-style QB in the 2018 class. Some around here wanted wideout Velus Jones in the 2016 class, and West was the guy throwing him the ball.

MISCELLANEY

Here’s a list of the one visitor from this past weekend (LINK).

Here’s a list of expected visitors for the BBQ at the Big House (LINK).

Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson named Michigan to a top nine that includes Arizona State, Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA, and Utah, among others. He called UCLA his “favorite school” when they offered. If I had to guess, I’d say Michigan is running #2 behind the Bruins right now.

Visitors: July 15-17, 2016
