New ESPN 150 Released

A new ESPN 150 has been released for the 2012 class.  (If you want to see what it looked like back in June, click here.)  The Wolverines have offered 65 of ESPN’s top 150 prospects in the country.

Notable changes for Michigan commits since June:

– Terry Richardson moves from #68 to #67
– Royce Jenkins-Stone moves from #117 to #115
– Kyle Kalis moves from #140 to #135

One other note:

– Wide receiver Jordan Payton, who’s announcing his college decision this coming Tuesday, was #146 a few months ago but dropped out of the list.  Since he was already near the bottom of the list, that doesn’t really signify a huge change of opinion from ESPN.
