Commits in Action
As always, check out our 2014 and 2015 recruiting boards to see latest rankings and profiles
Bryan Mone
The Utah big-man-in-the-middle saw his season come to an end last week. His numbers on the season -- 41 tackles and 1.5 sacks -- are pretty solid for the often double teamed defensive tackle. Mone's next game will be in the big house. I feel so bad for the kid...
Moe Ways
Haven't heard much about Ways this season, but boy did he end his regular season with a bang. Ways scored two touchdown's, breaking a school record in a victory Friday night, sending Country Day (MI) to the playoffs, completing a major turn around after last years disappointing season.
Lawrence Marshall
No stats, highlights, or news, just this:
Lawrence Marshall just annihilated Clarkston's quarterback and forced a fumble which Southfield recovered

Annihilated? Annihilated. That's a word you love to hear, preceding quarterback, in a sentence, describing a defensive end. Suck it buckeyes!
Jared Wangler
How about some mid-season highlights from the legacy commit:
Damien Harris
The man amongst boys was back at is again, proving his #1 running back status, racking up 8 carries, 191 yards and 4 TD's (TomVH). Scary to think what comparisons were going through his future coach Fred Jackson's mind as he took in the dominant performance. That gives Harris 173 carries for 2,073 yards and 32 total TD's...through nine games; most of which he's only played one half. Get excited folks. This video game-like 227yards/game, 11.8yards/carry will be a reality soon enough.
George Campbell
East Lake HS (FL) is loaded this year and Campbell is holding his own leading the team with 334 receiving yards. But don't forget that Campbell is a force on defense at the DE spot, leading the team with 5 sacks.
Bye Week Bonanza
This coaching staff is racking up the frequent flyer miles this week, heading all over the country to check-in on the talented youngsters atop their recruiting board. The second bye week of the season comes at a crucial time in the recruiting process as kids are still considering official visits and what not. And the staff is not messin' around ladies and gentlemen; There are plenty of big names below.
'14 Da'Shawn Hand
The saga continues for the top remaining target on the '14 board, and the momentum still looks to be on Michigan's side as of now according to "The Godfather" Mike Farrell:
After spending two days in Woodbridge around Da'Shawn Hand and many others, still get a strong #Michigan vibe but.....The next tweet from Farrell caused a little concern. He mentions that Florida is the wild card hear and that you can never count out 'Bama, where Hand is as we type taking in an official visit. These last two visits will be huge in swaying away Hand from Michigan, the perceived favorite. But don't worry, the coaching staff is doing all they can to not let that happen, sending Hand's primary recruiter, LB coach Roy Manning Jr., down to see the top 5 talent. Manning also dropped in on many others (listed below) including future signal caller Wilton Speight.

A few more installment's of The Washington Post's documentary "First and 17" aired over the last week or so. In the eighth installment, Hand is referred to as "kind of a nerd" and his team prepares for the playoffs. The ninth (second below) focus' on Hand already doing his part to help the community.
'15 QB Alex Malzone
The in-state prospect had an important phone call over the weekend via Brandon Brown:
Malzone spoke with Coach Borges for about 10 minutes on Wednesday to talk about his recruitment moving forward and possible visits.
"It went great. He said he watched my highlight tape today and was very impressed. He said that I'm definitely on their radar. They aren't ready to offer anyone yet though, they are still waiting on that.The article later mentions the frequency in which Malzone is in contact Borges, which is something to keep an eye on as he is a sure lock to be the backup plan at the QB position in '15.
'15 QB Tyree Jackson
Jackson visited for the IU game last weekend. Here's his reaction via MGoBlog:
It went really good! I had a great time! The fans were crazy! When I walked through the tunnel they were yelling my name and stuff. It really felt cool. It was awesome. (Laughs)'15 DL Hjalte Froholdt - also visited last weekend's IU game.

OT
Here's a tweet referring to East Lake's (FL) D1 prospects and their future. Something very heart-warming to end on folk's:
Abraham, Cole, Scott, and Campbell are all locks to go to their schools with the way that program is run
