The BoardNew InformationMD RB Tavon Austin. Will visit North Carolina this weekend, then decide between the Tarheels and UM. Considering he never visited Ann Arbor... FL Slot commit Jeremy Gallon. Selected to the Army AA bowl, and named the district player of the year. SC OL Quinton Washington. Selected to the Shrine Bowl. IL OL Commit Michael Schofield. Der uberfluff. SC DE Sam Montgomery. Selected to the Shrine Bowl. MD LB Jelani Jenkins. Fluff. SC S Devonte Holloman. Choosing between Clemson and Michigan for 5th official. FL S Angelo Hadley. Deciding whether to visit Michigan with Mywan Jackson or not. FL CB Mywan Jackson. Recently suspended for disciplinary purposes. Bad boy. Removed:Travis Hawkins. Maryland commit. Etc.Freep fluff on recruiting teammates. Sam Webb in the News about which recruits fans probably don't have to worry about. AnalysisAustin will be off the board soon, though that's no surprise considering he suddenly cancelled a Michigan visit early this year. It's sounding more like Michigan probably won't have a chance with Devonte Holloman. They'll get a shot at Mywan Jackson, though it sounds like Angelo Hadley isn't all that interested in Michigan (however, see the Freep article about recruiting teammates).

As always, the board. Moved to Committed:NJ DE Anthony LaLota. Woo! A defensive end! Added:FL LB Mike Marry. Michigan shall make his next cut (info in header). New Information:OK RB David Oku. Never mind about deciding this week: he has delayed his announcement yet again. FL QB Denard Robinson. Still feelin' Michigan (info in header) despite the multiple QB commits. SC OL Quinton Washington. Official visit for Wisconsin game, and Michigan looks surprisingly strong in his recruitiment ( Sam Webb audio). AZ DE Craig Roh. Sam Webb thinks he'll end up at Michigan, unless Rick Neuheisel is particularly slimy ( audio). SC DE Sam Montgomery. Has decided which 5 schools to visit, including Michigan. MI S Thomas Gordon. Announcing in a couple weeks, and MIchigan looks good ( audio same as above). Etc.:2008 MI DE Nick Perry qualified on time, and is now at USC. It was thought that if he failed t qualify, Michigan might be back in the picture for him. 2008 NJ LB Marcus Witherspoon ended up at Rutgers, where he will be eligible to play this year. FL DB Corey Addison. He is thinking about an official visit to Michigan. His commitment to SoCar will leave him off the board for now, but keep him in mind. Analysis:Michigan finally grabs a defensive end. If they can grab Craig Roh, a huge weakness will be accounted for at the position. As of now, I expect to see Roh, Will Campbell, Thomas Gordon, and maybe another guy or two to finish out the class.

Moved from Committed:MI DT William Campbell. If he doesn't end up back with Michigan, it will hurt. I think his status hasn't changed too much. Wasn't he always planning on taking 5 visits? Sounds like a little sensationalism from Rivals. Added:OK RB David Oku. After being removed a few weeks ago, David Oku is going to consider Michigan once more, and no longer is looking at at Florida State. New Information:OH OL Chris Freeman. His recruitment has gone completely underground. He also sat out Trotwood Madison's game this weekend. SC DE Sam Montgomery. Sam Webb in the Detroit News fluff. He will definitely take a UM visit. VA DE Will Hill. Now holds an offer. MS S Dennis Thames. He's suffered a slight knee injury. It's not severe enough to require surgery. GA S/QB Donavan Tate. He changed his mind, and will play football this year. I'm still doubtful he hits the gridiron in college, and he teeters on the brink of removal. Removed:AR CB Darius Winston. Recommits to the Hogs. It was expected, so it doesn't really hurt that much. It's more like a shrug and "on to the next guy." Etc.:TX S Craig Loston. Will he visit UM? When these questions are in the header, the answer is almost always yes. For now, the VB policy of not including elsewhere-committed prospects on the board will be upheld.

A midyear recruiting prospectus is on tap for this afternoon. For now, enjoy the recruiting update. Board can be found here, as always. New Information:MN WR Commit Bryce McNeal. On the news. SC DE Sam Montgomery. He has narrowed his list, and will reveal top choices soon. NV DE Keenan Graham. UCLA leads (info in header). SC DE Chris Bonds. Article from The State about his past injuries. AR CB Darius Winston. Sam Webb fluff from the Detroit News. FL CB/QB Mywan Jackson. Apparently Michigan will give him a shot at QB, and he expects to narrow by one school this week. GA LB Devekeyan Lattimore. Video fluff: Removed:SC S DJ Swearinger. Tennessee commit. Etc.:Don't forget, Brandin Hawthorne and Vincent Smith are announcing on Saturday. Don't be surprised if they both don Block-M caps. Analysis:Keep in mind, this is the first week that the recruiting update comes before some official visits. On the docket for this weekend: CA QB Tate Forcier and AZ DE Craig Roh.

I forgot to link it Monday, but don't forget that the board is here. Moved to Committed:LA DE DeQuinta Jones. The awesomely-named one is also added to the board in this update. Commit article. New Information: VA QB commit Kevin Newsome. Some glorious, glorious reassurance from Sam Webb that he is firmly committed, and recruiting other players to Michigan. Now in convenient print form! Newsome speaks with SI about transferring to Hargrave. FL QB Eugene Smith. He made the Elite 11. And is performing quite well. FL S Jonathan Scott. Michigan in his top 3 (info in header). SC DEs Sam Montgomery and Chris Bonds. Both plan to take officials to Michigan. FL CB Mywan Jackson. Michigan visit this weekend. NJ DE/OL Anthony LaLota. Narrows his list to 7 (including the Wolverines). NV DE Keenan Graham. Will he decide before getting a chance to visit Michigan? MS S Rod Woodson. Now reports an offer. Removed:AL DE William Ming. Alabama commit. IN LB TyQuan Hammock. After not getting the Michigan offer he wanted, commits to Michigan State. Analysis:Hooray, a defensive end! Michigan will want at least one more in this class, likely a speed rusher. Other sources of celebration: Reassurance on the Newsome front! Hooray!

The Board. With the Newsome thing, it will be interesting to see which other QBs continue to be interested in Michigan. One formatting note: committed players are now tacked to the top of their respective positions on the board. Moved to Committed:VA QB Kevin Newsome. WOOOOOOOOOOO! Conquering Heroes dug up some factoids on Newsome. Added:OK CB Gabe Lynn. He has an offer and is friends with RB prospect David Oku. He is one of the top cover CBs in the nation. SC DE Sam Montgomery. He reportedly has been offered by UM. A four-star prospect at a position of major need. GA S Darren Myles. He has a Michigan offer. New Information:TX QBs Shavodrick Beaver and Kolby Gray attend an Elite 11 combine. NC DB Devonte Holloman. Michigan and Clemson are his current top 2. OH OL Marcus Hall. Top 6: OSU, USC, Ill, Mich, Fla, FlaSt. Currently plans to decide after taking 5 officials. SC OL Quinton Washington. He is strong. but he may end up staying in South Carolina. Recruiting fluff. Removed:PA RB Jordan Hall. Michigan may have wanted him a bit for the slot position, but it is clear they had higher priorities there. His offer may have just been an attempt to get Terrelle Pryor to think harder about attending Michigan. MS DB David Conner. His listed height and weight have been falling ever since the initial evaluations came out, and it also appears that he won't leave the SEC. Etc:For those of you who doubted my reasoning for having a big spring game (I'm lookin' at you, Charles), SI's Andy Staples agrees with me. 2-part interview with Lloyd in the Free Press.
