- Anthony Fera considered to be one of the top kickers in the country may have to decide between Michigan and OSU. Anthony just kicked at Michigan's kicker camp and had this to say;
“It’s going really good right now,” Fera said. “Right now I don’t have any offers, but it’s kind of like, for a kicker to get offers right away is kind of unexpected. It usually takes a little while. But I think Michigan, they’re really high on me right now, then Penn State and Ohio State. I kicked for them all and they want to think it over and stuff.
- Jay Hopson is recruiting Bastrop (LA) DE DeQuinta Jones. Michigan was one of the first schools to offer and is one of the schools top of his list. Hopson recruited his brother to Southern Miss.
The scholarship offer Michigan extended earlier this year suggests that the Wolverines agree with that assessment.“It was in May before I got out of school,” Jones recalled. “I think I’m going to go up there for a visit.” The Maize & Blue has a legitimate chance in this fight thanks to Jones’ pre-existing relationship with linebackers coach, Jay Hopson.“I know him pretty good from when he was at Southern Miss, the school my brother goes to,” Jones explained.
- Rivals is ranking Michigan's 2009 class at #4 in the country at this point. Ohio State class is rated #1 (no big surprise there with 23 recruits). MSU was a surprise ranking at #10.
- TT has bought in to the new Michigan coaches and is set for a big Sr. year.
"We were doing Pilates," Taylor said a few weeks ago of his teammates. "Man, that stuff is hard. Some of the things we do are crazy. We've never done that before, but it makes us more flexible." He claimed he returned from the Capital One Bowl in January weighing 327 pounds. Now, thanks to Michigan's intense workout regime, he's below 304 and plans to be at 295 by Aug. 4 when twice-a-day practices begin. "I'm going to be lean," he said, laughing, knowing what his 6-foot frame can handle. "I know doing that, being more flexible, doing the things they want and improving in the areas I can improve in, all working together, it's a blessing I stayed here and we got (strength coach) Mike Barwis."

Your blog said "Anthony just kicked at Michigan's kicker camp..."
Actually Anthony Fera wasn't at UM's camp. He kicked for the UM staff a few weeks earlier, because he had a conflict and couldn't be at camp. Could still be a UM/Ohio, (& maybe Penn State) battle, but he wasn't at the UM camp with the other kickers.
That leaves the coaches trying to compare the top camp kickers they just saw to a kicker they saw a few weeks earlier. At least they have tape to make it easier.
