He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #17 wide receiver, and #131 overall. The U.S. Army All-American will be taking his official visit this weekend. Michigan held a camp at Cheshire Academy this summer, and Black is one of a few targets Michigan is heavily in the mix for right now. As of Wednesday night, the Crystal Ball is 62% in favor of the Wolverines for Black.

Recruiting from Tomorrow: June 13, 2016

Dorian Thompson-Robinson 22x

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Allen (TX) Lovejoy linebacker Bumper Pool was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 215 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State, among others. Yes, his real name is indeed Bumper James Morris Pool. In six games with stats reported in 2015, he made 68 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery.

Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, and Utah, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #4 dual-threat quarterback, and #73 overall. As a sophomore on 2015, he was 11/17 for 179 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT; he also ran 21 times for 179 yards and 3 TDs, and he made 5 catches for 54 yards. Those are pretty paltry numbers for a star quarterback, but that’s because he was a backup to 2017 prospect Tate Martell, a former Texas A&M commit who is likely to end up signing with Ohio State (EDIT: after I scheduled this post, Martell committed to OSU last night). The Wolverines are also recruiting 2017 wideout Tyjon Lindsey, 2017 cornerback Alex Perry, and 2018 linebacker Palaie Gaoteote from Bishop Gorman. Thompson-Robinson’s mother is a Michigan graduate, he has visited previously, and he plans to come back for the Aerial Assault QB Camp in a week.

Hit the jump for a new 2019 offer, the first 2020 offer, and some other bits.
