New offer: 2020 Detroit King WR RaShawn Williams
Michigan offered 2020 Detroit (MI) King wide receiver RaShawn Williams. He's a kid who will probably be at least a high 4-star kid, and there's a pretty good chance he'll end up at Michigan. At 6'1" and 185 lbs., he already has offers from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio State, along with some MAC teams.

He comin'

What gives us the edge, out of curiousity? Past teammates, legacy kid, verbal Michigan lean?

Got to spend some time with his family when he was in AA. Watching him interact with current players and listening to how they speak about him and vice-versa. Vert, JKP, Ambry, and DPJ all were excited to see him and treat him like their baby brother. The best players in Michigan go to Michigan was said a few times as well. Much like DPJ recruitment I think he might take visits and create a top 5 but he comin'. Also my guess is he's a top 50 player by his senior year.

The cool thing about this blog is that you have choices. If you care to read a thread, you can, and if you don't, you don't have to. Cool, huh!
December 16th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
We've offered at least 42 players in the 2020 class. Have you seen 42 threads?
I think a kid from Detroit (MI) King is relevant.
You don't? Go read about Rutgers upsetting Seton Hall, fantasy football lineups, or Ohio State's assistant coaching search.

Awesome OT post... I guess you showed us the error in our ways...
December 16th, 2017 at 4:53 PM ^
Find something else to do with your time? Go out for a brisk run. Play catch with the dog. Masturbate. I dunno, man, whatever helps you.

When it is a top 100 kid (likely) from an instate school with an offer from a key rival down south, yes it is worthwhile to have a new post.

not in state they don't. Especially this early, they only hand out commitable offers. This offer is almost definitely commitable at any time.

The board *is* cluttered...with a bunch of stuff that's irrelevant to Michigan.
Why aren't you whining in all those threads?
December 16th, 2017 at 6:48 PM ^
'lil biatches on this board.

Fuck no, but that didn't keep you from sharing this incredibly important information anyhow:
"some cheap red wine. The wife and I were bored and decided maybe we should check out this Stranger Things show people talk about. 5 episodes later and 3 hours past her bedtime, now I know what we are doing all weekend."
I'd much rather read about something actually pertaining to Michigan football than what some anonymous numbskull drank with his wife last night and what half-baked TV show they watched.

take his commitment. If Michigan doesn't accept his commitment, it could create bad feelings with the school. This has been covered many times.
In state schools frequently wait to offer until they are sure he's a take.
December 16th, 2017 at 4:20 PM ^
He's a sophomore it's not a big deal.

Michigan really isn't recruiting Ohio very hard. It's kind of a lost cause, because the kids in Ohio are bred to hate Michigan.
December 16th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
December 16th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Nope. Kids in Michigan are bred to hate Michigan (if their parents are MSU fans) or Michigan State/Ohio State (if their parents are Michigan fans). It's one of the advantages for OSU to be the lone Power 5 school in their state.

Even if it's tough going, simply yielding the state to OSU without a fight—if that's really what we're doing—is a recipe for failure.
December 16th, 2017 at 6:40 PM ^
Coaching staffs only have a finite number of resources. Hours, travel, and money spent recruiting a kid heavily only to finish second to Ohio State in most cases can be better served scouting, making in roads, and establishing a pipeline in places like New Jersey, Georgia, and Texas.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
Sorry, why spend a lot of energy going after a kid from Ohio who will commit to Michigan then decommit the minute Ohio State says we can take you now. Even the coaches are pro OSU but will try to send their low three star kids to Mich.
December 16th, 2017 at 4:25 PM ^
Looks like a nice pickup if he comes to Michigan. Obviously years in the future, but good info early on.
December 16th, 2017 at 4:49 PM ^
Hope we are able to get him. But, we are behind in the race to OSU for him. OSU offered way before we did and if you go by the Twitter theory, it seems like he really likes them. He's got a picture with Cardale Jones posted, as well as a pic of him wearing OSU gloves, and a couple others involving OSU.There are a couple of guys who seem to be favoring OSU that are top in-state recruits, one being 5-star Justin Rodgers. This offer will change things though and I think that it does. Long time til signing day for 2020 so there is some room to work with. In-State Recruiting is going to need to be a huge focus in the next two classes with the massive amount of talent that is here. Next 2 classes are looking to be as good if not better than 2017's in-state class. So we need to pick it up to land the best talent in Michigan like we have before.
December 16th, 2017 at 5:10 PM ^
So in conclusion, Michigan has given up on recruiting Ohio, meanwhile it is full systems go for OSU to recruit Michigan. Forcing Michigan to fight tooth and nail to hold onto every worthwhile recruit. Great.
December 16th, 2017 at 5:15 PM ^
No. But if you want to be pessimistic, sure.
You're not going to be convinced otherwise, so it doesn't really matter.
December 16th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
The Detroit kids tend to like Ohio State and Michigan State more than Michigan now. These kids was born in 1999, 2000,2001. Michigan started their downward spiral when they started playing football in 2008. So there you have it.
