Rivals250 released

Virginia cornerback Demetrious Nicholson has dreads.

Following yesterday’s release of the Rivals100, the website released its rankings for the top 250 players in the country on Wednesday afternoon. The following is a list of players Michigan has offered from 101 to 250:

101. Demetrious Nicholson, CB – Virginia
111. Dondi Kirby, CB – Pennsylvania
112. Quan Bray, RB – Georgia
115. Zach Debell, OT – Florida
117. Aundrey Walker, OT – Ohio
120. Nick Waisome, CB – Florida
133. Garrett Greenlea, OT – Texas (Texas)
135. Sheroid Evans, S – Texas (Texas)
136. Brian Miller, TE – Massachusetts (Boston College)
137. Chevelle Buie, RB – Florida
139. Mickey Johnson, DT – Louisiana
141. Deion Barnes, DE – Pennsylvania
147. Charles Jackson, CB – Texas
149. Travis Hughes, LB – Virginia
151. DaVaris Daniels, WR – Illinois
152. Avery Walls, CB – Georgia
156. Brandon Fulse, TE – Florida
157. Jordan Walsh, OT – Illinois
159. Kyshoen Jarrett, CB – Pennsylvania
165. Ryan Shazier, LB – Texas
172. Jalen Grimble, DE – Nevada (USC)
173. Darius Jennings, RB – Maryland
174. Nick Vannett, TE – Ohio
180. Brandon Phelps, CB – Maryland
185. Miles Shuler, WR – New Jersey
187. Brennen Beyer, DE – Michigan (Michigan)
195. Anthony Chickillo, DE – Florida
199. Kiaro Holts, OL – Indiana
200. Bryant Dubose, DE – Florida
205. Austin Traylor, DE – Ohio
206. Remound Wright, RB – Indiana
216. Brett Hundley, QB – Arizona
217. Melvin Gordon, RB – Wisconsin
218. Kevin McReynolds, DT – Washington, DC
226. Nathan Hughes, DE – Texas (Texas)
229. Terrell Chestnut, CB – Pennsylvania
236. Delonte Hollowell, CB – Michigan (Michigan)
240. Bill Belton, RB – New Jersey
242. Steve Miller, DE – Ohio (Ohio State)
247. Trai Turner, OL – Louisiana
250. Corey Marshall, DE – Virginia

By my count, 41 players from numbers 101-250 have been offered by the Wolverines. In addition to the 43 from the Rivals100 (I omitted Ray Drew from yesterday’s list), that gives Michigan two commitments (Delonte Hollowell, Brennen Beyer) and 84 overall targets out of the top 250 players in the country, according to Rivals.

Rivals100 released

South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney
Rivals released its initial top 100 rankings today at 1:00 p.m. A cadre of Michigan targets litter the Rivals100, making it a very interesting list. To the best of my knowledge, these are the 42 players who have been offered by Michigan:

1. Jadeveon Clowney, DE – South Carolina
3. James Wilder, Jr., RB – Florida
4. George Farmer, WR – California
7. Cyrus Kouandjio, OT – Maryland
8. Curtis Grant, ILB – Virginia
11. Lawrence Thomas, DE – Michigan (Michigan State)
12. Christian Westerman, OT – Texas (Texas)
13. Mike Bellamy, RB – Florida
18. Jarvis Landry, WR – Louisiana (LSU)
19. Gregory Robinson, OT – Louisiana
22. Mike Blakeley, RB – Florida
23. Doran Grant, CB – Ohio
27. Kris Frost, LB – North Carolina
28. Hasean Clinton-Dix, S – Florida (Alabama)
30. Michael Bennett, DT – Ohio (Ohio State)
32. Matt Hegarty, OG – New Mexico (Notre Dame)
34. Demetrius Hart, RB – Florida
37. Karlos Williams, S – Florida (Florida State)
39. Sammy Watkins, WR – Florida
40. Jay Rome, TE – Georgia
45. Tim Jernigan, DT – Florida
49. DeAnthony Arnett, WR – Michigan
55. Josh Turner, CB – Oklahoma
56. Braxton Miller, QB – Ohio
57. Savon Huggins, RB – New Jersey
58. Anthony Zettel, OG – Michigan
62. Kiehl Frazier, QB – Arkansas (Auburn)
65. Christian LeMay, QB – North Carolina (Georgia)
66. Desmond Jackson, DT – Texas (Texas)
70. Bobby Hart, OG – Florida
72. Cyrus Hobbi, OG – Arizona
73. Tyler Moore, OG – Florida (Nebraska)
74. Brandon Shell, OT – South Carolina
75. Justice Hayes, RB – Michigan
81. Andre Yruretagoyena, OT – Arizona
85. Wayne Lyons, S – Florida
87. Marqise Lee, S – California
88. Andrew Buie, RB – Florida
91. Charone Peake, WR – South Carolina
93. Trey DePriest, LB – Ohio
95. Lamar Dawson, LB – Kentucky
97. Giorgio Newberry, OT – Florida

Michigan has a fighting chance with many of these players, but running back Demetrius Hart and offensive guard/defensive end Anthony Zettel are the only two that seem to have Michigan as their clear front-runner. If Michigan starts winning more, maybe their chances with more of these players will increase. Regardless, it’s somewhat nice to see that Michigan’s early offers align themselves with analysts’ ratings, too.
