Michigan Thursday: Recruiting Blitz

It's time for Michigan to gain some ground on the recruiting trail.  They now have a stable head coach, they have highly qualified assistants, The Big Ten Player of the Year in Denard, the opportunity for early playing time and OSU is in big trouble with NCAA penalties looming.   Now is the time to put together a top 10 2012 class.

Here we go..........................

• Reports were that Gunner Kiel a 5 star QB from Indiana (considered the top ranked QB in the nation) visited Ann Arbor yesterday.   Reports were he was in town with his mom. From ESPN- Gunner on Michigan:  "They have a new coaching staff and they are bringing a new offense on the table that's going to feature the passing game a lot. It's going to be a good system and they will be successful."

 

• Instate TE Ron Thompson is on commitment watch, looks like it might come in Mid May.

• Instate DT Matt Godin is in the same boat as Ron.

• Cincinnati 4 star LB Joe Bolden is also close to a commitment, some reports have it coming this weekend. Others have him waiting a few more weeks.

• Michigan coaches will be in the high school of 5 star (and OSU soft commit) RB Brionte Dunn today.

• TomVH weighs in with an interview with Missouri DT Ondre Pipkins who is planning to make a visit to Ann Arbor in June.

• Michigan continues to look for a true Safety in this class.  Seems like their #1 target is New York DB Wayne Morgan.
