Recruiting Update

There has been some recent activity in the recruiting world as we near signing day.

It is being reported in the Detroit Free Press that Rich Rodriguez is making a trip down to Florida to visit four star quarterback recruit B.J. Daniels. The article also said that Daniels is coming up to Ann Arbor this weekend to visit the campus. Daniels would be a great backup plan if Pryor picks Ohio State over Michigan. It seems as though Michigan has a good chance at landing Daniels as "he jumped on the visit" to Michigan. Whether we get Pryor or not, it is critical to find someone who will fit into the spread system and Daniels fits that mold, throwing for 2,500 yards and 30 touchdowns as well as rushing for nearly 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in his senior year at Lincoln High School. Rodriguez has said that he wants to bring in at least two quarterbacks with this recruiting class and either Pryor, Daniels, or both would be a great addition.

The Wolverines received their second commitment today since Rich Rodriguez was hired when J.T. Floyd, a three star cornerback, orally commited to play at Michigan. Floyd is a big commit because we are lacking depth in the secondary with our returning players.

I am guessing there will be more news on recruiting in the coming days. Until then, Go Blue!
