Is Recruiting Dangerous? A Michigan Coach meets with an LA Coach before one of his Players was Killed

This from the LA times:

Narbonne High School football coach Manuel Douglas gathered his varsity team Tuesday morning to talk about losing their teammate Dannie Farber Jr.

He said the last time he spoke with Farber was Thursday, when he was escorting a Michigan football scout out of the school. In the hall, Farber took his hand and pulled him, as if wanting to speak with him.

I said, 'Hold on, I'll be back,' " Douglas recalled.

When Douglas returned a few minutes later, Farber was gone. Now, Douglas keeps thinking about how he didn't give Farber a hug, something he always did.

"That's what's bothering me," he said.

Farber was shot later that night at a restaurant in Compton. Brown said that Farber was not in a gang and that police are still looking for the gunman. A surveillance camera inside the restaurant recorded the shooting, but the gunman's face is blocked by the hood and cap, Brown said.

It's unclear who from Michigan was at the school and which prospect he was there to see.

• Michigan to play at Wrigley Field? Maybe? The game could happen between Northwestern and Michigan in 2011. Northwestern could also work a deal with Illinois as well.

• Michigan Basketball Team to play Utah in Salt Lake. The game will be on December 9th and this was part of the football contract from last year where Utah opened their undefeated 2008 campaign in Ann Arbor.

• Fomer Wolverine Safety is now an Eskimo! The Edmonton Eskimos announced yesterday the signing of Michigan's Brandent Englemon.
