ANNOUNCEMENT TIMES OF INTEREST

10:00 AM WR AMORION WALKER (LA, 3*) Michigan has been close to poaching this Notre Dame commit for some time, with both sides expressing confidence. Update: Chose Michigan.

10:45 AM DT DEONE WALKER (Cass Tech, 4*) has been a battle with Kentucky that’s reportedly going down to the wire. Both schools got recent official visits, and Walker stopped by Michigan for the umpteenth time after the trip to Lexington. On3 reported he’ll sign “sometime between 6 and 9 AM” while Rivals posted 10:45 AM on their schedule. Latest this morning is that this is trending to Kentucky after Michigan held a slim lead last night. Update: Chose Kentucky.

10:50 AM S/HSP KEON SABB (NJ via IMG, 4.5*) said he plans to sign with his chosen school today. He recently decommitted from Clemson after an official visit to see Michigan beat Ohio State. Which they did, beat Ohio State. Michigan did. 42-27 in fact. Many people don’t know this. Sabb knows this however because he was there when Michigan beat Ohio State 42-27. Sabb is thought to be down to Michigan or Georgia. Update: Chose Michigan.

2:45 PM: DE/DT DERRICK MOORE (MD, 4.5*) is deciding between Michigan and Ole Miss. Signs pointed to Michigan when Moore decommitted from Oklahoma recently, but Ole Miss has been making their pitch. He stopped there last week then went straight to a Michigan visit all last weekend. Update: Chose Michigan.

3:00 PM: WR DARRIUS CLEMONS (OR via MI, 4*) has had an interesting recruitment that seems to have come back around to Michigan. Clemons is originally from Lansing, and is childhood friends with Andrel Anthony, but moved to Oregon last year, and seemed ticketed for Auburn until Michigan beat Ohio State, 42-27. Ask Keon Sabb about it. Update: Chose Michigan. 

3:00 PM: Will Johnson signing ceremony (after school)

3:00 PM: ATH (WR/S) KOEN ENTRINGER (Walled Lake, 3*) Took a recent official to Iowa and is expected to sign there. Michigan made a late push for the local riser, but via Sam Webb the depth charts at Michigan seem a little more daunting than those of Iowa (despite Iowa beating Ohio State out for a local 5-star safety this cycle). Update: Chose Iowa. 

4:00 PM: Kenneth Grant signing ceremony (after school in IN)

5:00 PM: The Signing Day Livepod.

PLAYERS OF INTEREST, NO ANNOUCEMENT TIME:

EDGE commit ETHAN BURKE (TX, 3*) is close to flipping to Texas via 247 and On3 last night. Update: He signed with UT at 9:30.

S commit DAMANI DENT (FL, 3*) recently picked up heavy interest from new staffs at Florida and Miami (YTM). The recruiting sites haven’t had time to investigate if it’s been reciprocated yet. Update: his LOI is in.

LB commit DEUCE SPURLOCK (AL, 3*) told Sam Webb that he still intends to sign with Michigan despite new interest from new defensive staffs at Florida and Clemson. Update: his LOI is in. 

QB ALEX ORJI (TX, 3*). Virginia Tech commit who took a trip to Michigan last weekend. Recent movement with other candidates seems to have shifted Orji to a priority for Michigan, and Sam Webb and others are now saying he's a take. Update: Chose Michigan.

WR DANE KEY (KY, 3*) Kentucky legacy from Lexington who committed to Kentucky, but Michigan hasn’t stopped calling. Would be a big surprise if he flips. Update: Signed with Kentucky. 

QB BRYCE ARCHIE (GA, 3*). Another QB who was recently on campus, might be an option later. For now we’re seeing if he signs with Coastal Carolina or has them wait until February. 

NOT SIGNING TODAY

OT target JOSHUA CONERLY (WA, 5*) is another recruitment that was trending to Michigan before we lost Morgan. Conerly has taken trips to USC and might give Washington another look. He’ll make his decision in February; Michigan seems to have the inside track but a lot of race left.

EDGE commit KEVONTE HENRY (CA, 4*) is going to wait for the February signing day. This is the recruit most affected by the departure of Courtney Morgan. He was reportedly leaning towards following Morgan to Washington.

OT "target" KIYANUTA GOODWIN (IN, 5*) was thought to be a bidding war that MSU had locked up over Texas A&M and Kentucky. Today Goodwin held a sponsored press conference to say he's not signing. Mad respect to this man's troll game, even though Michigan is only peripherally involved in this. Update: He rescheduled for 3:30 PM and said he's deciding between MSU and Kentucky. Mad, mad respect. Update to the update: Now he says 5PM.

A FULLBACK. Harrumph.
