Injury Report and Another WR Commit for 2010

Michigan's injury status for the game against the Fighting Zook's and the Juice:

• Carlos "Santana" Brown out with a sprained foot (how does this guy get hurt so much? It's not like he is out there for 20-30 plays?)
• Junior Hemingway has Mono. He is out as well.
• Perry Dorrestein should be back at Left Tackle
• Mark Huyge should be back as well and playing Left Guard
• Greg Mathews has a turned ankle but has been practicing
• Terrance Taylor has been playing/practicing with a brace on his wrist

Punt and Kick Off Returns: Everyone knows the return games are costing Michigan offensive possessions and field position. It has to get better! Odoms, Avery Horn, James Rogers and possibly Boubacar Cissoko are the returners working on Kick Off Returns. Greg Mathews and Odoms are still doing the Punt Returns.

Another 2010 Commit:

We are still not even close to signing day for 2009 and the class of 2010 is starting to come together. I'm guessing recruits like Michigan's QB Class and want to commit early. Michigan landed a "local boy" Jeremy Jackson (6"3 180)who plays for Huron High School in Ann Arbor and is the son of Michigan coach Fred Jackson.

Here is the write up from VB:

Recruiting Notes
Jackson has obviously been aware of the Wolverines for a long time. His father has been an assistant at Michigan since Jeremy was born, and Jeremy has been attending Michigan games as long as he can remember. Jeremy has attended more practices, spring games, and games than probably any other commitment in the history of recruiting, certainly at Michigan. Jeremy said early in the recruiting process that, despite his interest in and familiarity with Michigan, he would like to take several other trips, including to Florida and Texas. Despite his interest elsewhere, it was clear that he would always have a place at Michigan. At Michigan's 2008 summer camp, he bonded with Ricardo Miller and Marvin Robinson, both of whom were also interested in Michigan. Following Miller's commitment, Jackson decided he wanted to spend his college days with his friend in Ann Arbor, and pulled the trigger for Michigan.

Player Notes
Jackson is a tall, leaping, deep-threat type receiver, though he lacks elite speed. He has good hands, prompting some to call him "a taller Jason Avant." Considering Jason Avant made the NFL despite slightly sub-optimal size for a possession receiver, it is easy to see why the coaches are excited about Jackson (also, one of them is his dad. Pretty easy for Fred to be excited). Being a gritty coach of a son (can we even say that about a guy who's not white?) also means he is probably pretty polished without tons of college coaching, and the fact that Fred has coached WRs in the past (at Purdue, South Carolina, and Navy) means that his coaching probably helped Jeremy a lot.
