Two Michigan targets
committed to other schools this week. Who will Michigan turn to now? Which
current commits and, targets will be at The Opening next week? Find out in this
Fridays version of The Future Huddle.
On Wednesday, two Michigan targets announced their college
choices. 2015 5* linebacker Justin Hilliard chose Ohio State, while 2015 4* wide receiver Miles Boykin choose the Fighting Irish. So where does Michigan go from here?
Well, in regards to Hilliard, Michigan will likely turn
towards 3* Tyriq Thompson, 4* Asmar Bilal or, 4* Osa Masina. In all
likeliness, I see Masina filling the spot that Michigan had hoped Hilliard would
have filled. Masina fits the mould of what Michigan looks for in linebacker
prospects. He’s got the prototypical size; he’s fast and has great field
vision. Masina will be heading to Ann Arbor at the end of July for the Michigan
BBQ. Masina's recruitment should come down to Michigan, Utah and USC.
So where does Michigan turn to now to find a wide receiver for
the 2015 class? Look no farther than Florida receiver Auden Tate. I've been a
big fan of Auden ever since I first watched his film. He’s a tall, strong built
receiver who has decent speed and uses his size to his advantage. Tate recently
visited Michigan and the visit apparently went great. So good, that his brother
was surprised he didn't commit on the spot. One other option for the wide receiver
position is A.D Miller.
The Opening
The 2014 version of Nike’s “The Opening” starts next week.
Michigan commits Darrin Kirkland Jr. and, Alex Malzone will head to Eugene,
Oregon to show off their skills with some of the best high school players in
the country.
Other Targets that will be in attendance include; Michael Weber, Mathew Burrell, Damien Harris, Keisean
Lucier-South, Josh McMillon, Osa Masina, Jacques Patrick, Auden Tate, Mook
Reynolds, Iman Marshall and, Levonta
Taylor.
Other Notes
Michigan commit Chris Clarke will not be partaking in The
Opening as originally planned. Chris has stated that personal reasons will keep
him from making the trip to Oregon
.
2015 RB target Mikell Lands-Davis committed to Georgia Tech
last Friday.
2015 DE Keisean Lucier-South spoke MGoBlogs Brandon Brown
earlier this week about his recruitment and had this to say;
"I like Michigan a lot right now," he
said. "The coaches direct message me everyday. I hear from Mattison, Hoke,
and Ferrigno regularly. Hoke and Mattison don't DM me, but Ferrigno does. The
commits are trying to get me there as well. Alex Malzone, Darrin Kirkland, and
Chris Clark are all coming after me. They say like, 'Michigan is a great place
and we can be really special.' I believe them too. Michigan is doing a great
job in my recruitment."
Michigan and UCLA will likely be KLS’s top two schools come
decision time.
2015 DE Jalen Bates will be stopping by Ann Arbor in late
July. Although Michigan doesn't pull recruits out of Louisiana too often, they
do have some pull with Bates, as he is cousins with former Michigan linebacker
Jonas Mouton.
2015 DT Jashon Cornell also committed to Ohio State on
Wednesday. Michigan had stopped
recruiting Jashon recently, as they had viewed him more as an interior lineman.
That’s all for this week folks! I hope everyone has a safe
and enjoyable 4th of July!
