COMMITMENTS

Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan linebacker Devin Bush, Jr. committed to Michigan (LINK).

Wayne (NJ) De Paul Catholic running back Kareem Walker committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Los Angeles (CA) Loyola cornerback David Long, Jr. decommitted from Stanford. Long is a 6’0″, 175 lb. prospect with offers from Notre Dame, Oklahoma, UCLA, USC, and Washington, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #7 cornerback, and #65 overall. Long took an official visit to Michigan for the Michigan State game in October, and he has an official visit scheduled to Washington for mid-January; those are his top two schools. Michigan has been recruiting Long hard for the entire recruiting cycle, telling him that he’s their #1 target at the cornerback position. They have also told him that they want to use him like Jabrill Peppers, as a defensive back, receiver, and special teams player.

Hit the jump for some guys who went off the board and some random bits.

Recruiting Update: November 11, 2015

Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer LB Antjuan Simmons

COMMITMENT
Boulder (CO) Fairview defensive end/outside linebacker Carlo Kemp committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Cincinnati (OH) Moeller offensive guard Matthew Dotson was offered by Michigan. Dotson is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #12 tight end, and #354 overall. He claims a 4.82 forty. Dotson is a big body with good body control, but he is not supremely athletic or dynamic after the catch. Ohio State typically gets its pick of the litter from Ohio tight ends (witness Jake Hausmann and Luke Farrell in 2016), but Michigan has a really good chance at finishing second.

Hit the jump for a few more new offers, a commitment elsewhere, and some random bits.
