Recruiting Battle Updates
OL Emil Ekiyor 4-Star - Status: Decommitted from Michigan in favor of 'Bama. Who can blame him? The Tide get just about any top target they set their sights on and turn them into NFL prospects and Ekiyor is now their top commit for 2018. Best of luck to him. I hope they all play each other soon. Michigan's class is still ranked higher than 'Bama's according to 247 Sports.
RB Hassan Haskins 3-Star - Status: Committed to Wolverines. The newest addition to the class is not ranked by most recruiting services, but appears to be a solid prospect to carry the ball down the road. The Wolverines needed another player here, and they believe they got a kid that is flying underneath most radars because he didn't display elite physical skills in any camps or play against top competition in high school.
WR JaMarr Chase 4-Star - Status: Committed to Florida but is being heavily pursued by Harbaugh's crew. Things have apparently heated up after McElwain was fired. Would be an awesome flip and most-likely the only receiver to be signed this year. He would instantly add more depth to a developing positional group already loaded with young talent.
DE Eyabi Anoma 4-Star - Status: Undecided and probably choosing between Michigan, 'Bama, and Penn State, with the Tide the big favorite. Harbaugh loves having a great defense to lean on when the offense is struggling though, so expect a fight for his services.
TE Luke Ford 4-Star - Status: Undecided and heavily pursued by everybody. It is difficult to say whether or not the commitment of two other top TE targets will deter Ford from committing. He could be the best of the bunch though, and an instant contributor at the college-level. I am betting on him going to an SEC team.
DT Michael Thompson 4-Star - Status: An undecided line prospect leaning towards Missouri, Thompson will receive lots of phone calls up until signing day. Many of them will be from Greg Mattison. The Wolverines need some big, talented bodies to add to the hopper, especially considering the "loss" of Ekiyor on the OL.
DT Tyler Friday 4-Star - Status: Undecided but seems to kinda lean towards Michigan. Chris Partridge is recruiting him and the Wolverines seem committed to going the long haul in order to add him. Penn State and Ohio State will be working hard to get him too.
ATH Brian Addison 4-Star - Status: Undecided west coast athlete "warm" on Michigan. Could be a safety for the Wolverines. The Washington Huskies might be the biggest competition for him.
DT Rick Sandidge 4-Star - Status: Undecided and heavily leaning towards South Carolina. Another big body that Harbaugh and company would really want to add to the roster. I don't really think it's going to happen.
S Julius Irvin 4-Star - Status: Undecided and apparently is interested in Michigan. Would help with depth at a position that could use some.
QB Kyle Grady 2-Star - Status: Undecided but considering walking on at Michigan. His commitment would give Harbaugh three very good QB prospects to work with in this class.
