Visitors: Michigan vs. Iowa

Dymonte Thomas

2013
Reon Dawson – CB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: Dawson is a 6’2″, 175 lb. prospect who is committed to Illinois.  The teammate of Michigan commit Mike McCray, Dawson also holds offers from Arizona, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Pitt, Purdue, Virginia, and West Virginia.  (Highlights.)

Da’Mario Jones – WR – Westland (MI) John Glenn: Jones committed to Michigan at the end of October.

Mike McCray II – LB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: McCray committed to Michigan in March.  Here’s how his senior season is going.

Shane Morris – QB – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Morris is Michigan’s premier recruit for the 2013 class.  Here’s a look at how his senior season went.

Channing Stribling – CB – Matthews (NC) Butler: This is his official visit.  Here’s a look at how Stribling’s senior season is unfolding.

Scott Sypniewski – LS – Ottawa (IL) Marquette:

 Sypniewski is a long snapper, which is really neat.

Dymonte Thomas – S – Alliance (OH) Marlington: Thomas committed to Michigan.  Here’s a look at how his senior season went.

Logan Tuley-Tillman – OT – Peoria (IL) Manual: Tuley-Tillman committed to Michigan in February.  Here’s a look at his senior highlights.

Csont’e York – WR – Highland Park (MI) Chandler Park: York committed to Michigan back in May.

2014
Brian Allen – C – Hinsdale (IL) Central: Allen is a 6’2″, 275 lb. center prospect.  He has offers from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin.  (Highlights.)

Alex Bookser – OT – Pittsburgh (PA) Mt. Lebanon Shores: Bookser is a 6’5″, 295 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Avery Edwards – TE – Raleigh (NC) Ravenscroft: Edwards is a 6’5″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Wake Forest. As a sophomore in 2011, he had 45 receptions for 659 yards (14.6 yards/catch) and 10 touchdowns; his junior produced 40 receptions for 490 yards (10.3 yards/catch) and 4 touchdowns.  He’s not the most athletic tight end out there, and I think Michigan might have some better options, but he could be a guy they pursue down the road. (Highlights.)

Matt Hammerstein – OT – Uniontown (OH) Lake: I don’t know much about Hammerstein, but my assumption is that he’s the son of former Michigan defensive tackle Mike Hammerstein.

Joe Henderson – DE – Cleveland (OH) Shaker Heights: Henderson is a 6’4″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Minnesota, and Pitt.  Some people think he could play outside linebacker, but he looks like a weakside end to me.  He uses his hands well and has pretty good athleticism.  He had previously been listed with a Michigan offer, although recent information suggests he was not verbally offered by the Wolverines; however, I would not be surprised if he is offered soon. (Highlights.)

Darryl Long – TE – Westerville (OH) South: Long is a 6’4″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois, Ohio, and Pitt. (Highlights.)

Evan Mallory – OG – Brownsburg (IN) Brownsburg: Mallory is a 6’4″, 285 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Kyle Rachwal – TE – Lapeer (MI) East: Rachwal is a 6’3″, 225-pounder with no offers at this point.  This is his fifth or sixth visit to Michigan this season, so I would bet that he would jump on a Michigan offer if he were lucky enough to get one.

Gelen Robinson – DE – St. John (IN) Lake Central: Robinson is a 6’1″, 230 lb. defensive end with no offers at this point.  As a junior this season, he had 95 tackles, 47 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and 2 fumble recoveries.  Robinson is the younger brother of Michigan freshman basketball player Glenn Robinson III and, therefore, the son of former Purdue and NBA star Glenn Robinson. (Highlights.)

Vic Roe – DT – Carmel (IN) Carmel: Roe is a 6’3″, 255-pounder without any offers at this point.  I do not think Roe is a Michigan-caliber player. (Highlights.)

Shelby Spence – QB – Chicago (IL) De La Salle: Spence is a 6’1″, 193 lb. dual-threat quarterback with no offers at this time.  He’s the teammate of 2014 offensive guard offeree Jamarco Jones.  Spence does not appear to be a high level FBS prospect. (Highlights.)

Darius West – CB – Lima (OH) Central Catholic: West is a 5’11”, 189 lb. cornerback with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, and Purdue, along with some MAC schools.  As a sophomore in 2011, he had 69 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble.  If Michigan were to offer him, I think it would be as a slot corner prospect; however, he does not appear to be a player who will be offered by Michigan anytime soon, despite recently being named to the Rivals 250.

2015
John Kelly – S – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Kelly is a 5’11”, 180-pounder without any offers at this time, but the buzz suggests that he’ll be a decent recruit in the not-too-distant future.

Recruit Tracker: Shane Morris

Shane Morris

August 24, 2012: Morris’s Warren (MI) De La Salle team beat Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer by a score of 35-7.  Morris was 14/26 passing for 177 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

September 1, 2012: De La Salle lost to Cleveland (OH) St. Ignatius by a score of 49-13.  Morris was 9/22 passing for 104 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.  His team is now 1-1.

September 8, 2012:  De La Salle beat Dearborn (MI) Fordson by a score of 40-19.  Morris completed 9/18 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown.  Warren De La Salle is now 2-1.


September 15, 2012:  Even though Morris was diagnosed with Mono earlier in the week, he still managed to play the first half of De La Salle’s 28-0 loss to Birmingham (MI) Brother Rice Saturday night.  Shane completed 8/17 passes for 87 yards and one interception.  Warren De La Salle is now 2-2.

September 23, 2012:  By now you probably know that Shane Morris has mono and is out of action for the foreseeable future.  His team put on a good performance against Detroit Catholic Central Sunday afternoon but ultimately fell in overtime by a score of 31-30.  De La Salle is now 2-3 and most likely out of postseason contention. 

September 29, 2012:  De La Salle played host to Ontario (Canada) Niagara at St. Claire Shores Lake Shore on Saturday afternoon.  Despite Shane’s absence, De La Salle took care of business and won the game by a score of 32-0.  De La Salle is now 3-3.

October 6, 2012:  Shane Morris says that he will be back in action before the end of De La Salle’s season.  His team was rolled by Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, 35-0, Saturday while he cheered from the sidelines, but Morris said before the game that he has been back practicing for over a week and is waiting to be cleared medically for full contact.  He is currently being held out due to a swollen spleen, but tweeted that he feels “100% better.”  De La Salle has two games remaining; they are now 3-4.

October 12, 2012:  Morris returned to the lineup for Warren De La Salle after missing the last three full games due to mono.  His Pilots defeated University of Detroit Jesuit, 39-12, and he finished the game 17/22 passing for 163 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions with a long of 28 yards.  De Las Salle is now 4-4.

October 19, 2012:  Morris played exclusively in the first half of his team’s 44-6 win over Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park if only to “shake off some rust.”  He finished with one touchdown and two interceptions on 5/14 passing for 138 yards.  118 of those yards came on two screen passes.  De La Salle is now 5-4 and likely out of postseason contention.
