Wolverine Wednesday: This Weekend Might Be Great For Both Lines

If you ask some coaches they will tell you every good team is strong on both the offensive and defensive lines.  Michigan has been up and down on both over the past 3-4 years.  The offensive line is trending up and the defensive line needs some quality recruits for depth.  

To keep Michigan's offensive line trending to be one of the best in the Big Ten, Michigan needs quality recruits in this class.  Currently, Michigan has Ben Braden and Caleb Stacey both 3 star prospects.  They also just landed the 34th prospect in the nation (via Rivals) in Erik Magnuson this past weekend. 

That leaves a couple of spots still left on the offensive line for this class.  This weekend Michigan might try to field those spots with visitor Jordan Diamond and 5 star prospect from Arizona Andrus Peat.  I would expect that Jordan is close to a commitment but it would be a surprise is Andrus made a decision that quickly.

Also visiting this weekend is the high profile Cincinnati combo of WR Dwayne Stanford and DE Adolphus Washington who both are 4 star prospect.  I suspect Adolphus could end up being a 5 star recruit when everything is said and done.   The rumor is Michigan might lead for both but Adolphus right now is planning to announce at the Under Armour game in January.

That is 4 very high profile guys on campus at the same time.  3 out of the 4 plays on either the D or O lines.   This weekend could go a long way on how but of those units look in the next 2-3 years.
