Former CB commit Gareon Conley: Conley made 1 tackle and 1 pass breakup in Ohio State’s 62-3 win over Nebraska.

Former defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin: In case you weren’t paying attention, the new Maryland coach suffered a 59-3 defeat at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines. Maryland is 5-4 with games remaining against Ohio State, Nebraska, and then Rutgers. It looks like it will come down to that final week to see if Maryland will be bowl eligible.

Former RB Derrick Green: Green made 5 carries for 33 yards in TCU’s awesome 62-22 win over a Baylor team that wore black uniforms to protest the firing of Art Briles, who turned a blind eye toward all the disgusting shenanigans that took place in Waco. I typically don’t care about Baylor or TCU, but I sure am glad Baylor got their butts handed to them.

David Reese, Ex-Wolverine

Farmington (MI) Farmington linebacker David Reese decommitted from Michigan on Wednesday night. He had committed to Michigan on the day of the spring game back in April (LINK).

Anyone with a finger on the pulse of Reese’s recruitment saw this moment coming months ago. Reese originally committed with Michigan’s understanding that he would get his first shot to play fullback, but that he would also be looked at as a linebacker. As more offers for linebacker started to come through, Reese started to reconsider and wanted assurances from Michigan that he could be a linebacker through and through. Meanwhile, he was also looking to enroll early. Michigan informed Reese that he could play linebacker, but that they were keeping early enrollee spots open for other prospects. In other words, they said that if he wanted to play for Michigan, he would have to wait until next summer to enroll.
