Wednesday Recruitin'
Aramide Olaniyan, Come on Down?
VA LB Aramide Olaniyan visited Michigan over the weekend, and the returns are quite positive indeed.
“I really had an amazing visit,” Olaniyan said. “The game exceeded my expectations a lot. The whole game, the fans were alive and I would say I’ve never been to an environment like that until (Saturday). I had an awesome time.”
It's not a certainty at this point, but it sounds like a Duke decommitment may be in the cards, eventually. Olaniyan's visit was just an unofficial, and he plans to make it back to Ann Arbor this winter. Keep an eye on Olaniyan.
Happy Trails?
Though he's a Stanford commit, there was some talk of FL OL Torrian Wilson taking other visits. The rumors have died down, and it might be about time to remove Torrian from the board. I'll give him another week or so.
OH S Latwan Anderson has finally received the Ohio State offer he'd been coveting, and that seems to mean bad news for the Wolverines.
With that, Anderson’s list is likely complete. He has stated his list of final schools consist of West Virginia, Georgia, Cincinnati, Miami (FL), Florida and Ohio St. A notable team missing from this final list that was on it before is the University of Michigan.
Michigan State got the same treatment, for what it's worth. They had been considered among his favorites. It appears as though Anderson is nearly off the table for Michigan.
CT LB Khairi Fortt has a top 3 of Penn State, Georgia, and North Carolina, and will decide within the next couple weeks. That doesn't bode well for Michigan, since he hasn't taken a campus visit. It's highly unlikely he'll end up in Ann Arbor now, and will probably go to UGa or Penn State.
A definitive happy trails to MD FB Zach Zwinak, who committed to Penn State.
2011
NC QB Christian Lemay has apparently been offered by Michigan, but only if you go by the photo, not the text:
Starting with the first, they included Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Tennessee, East Carolina and Maryland.
Uh, there's pretty clearly a "University of Michigan" envelope on that table, but whatever. By the way, you get your BOOM, TATER'D on, Mr. Lemay.
MI LB Lawrence Thomas has not received a Michigan offer, which is odd, considering he's a top-2 in-state prospect, along with DeAnthony Arnett. His coaches sent Michigan some game film, so there's a chance Michigan might be able to get in on him. He currently favors Michigan State, in part because Renaissance has sent a bunch of kids there in the past couple classes.
Etc.
NC DT Gabe King is still considering Michigan ($, info in header). MN DT Beau Allen has received a Michigan offer and will consider the Wolverines. Michigan target (who they aren't landing, by the way) CA RB Anthony Barr will miss his senior season with an injury.
