Wolverine Knee Issues, 2010 Football Offers, and IU picks up a recruit

Incoming Freshman Jordan Morgan will be out the next 4-5 months for the Michigan Basketball Team due to a surgery to his left knee to repair articular cartilage. This will be the second year in a row that an incoming freshman forward/center has lost time due to an injury. Last year, center Ben Cronin missed the entire year with a hip injury that required surgery. "The timing of Jordan's injury is very unfortunate," U-M coach John Beilein said in a statement. "We are very confident, however, that with the great medical staff at the University of Michigan, Jordan will make a full and speedy recovery."

• Michigan Football Offers on the street include: Nick Jones (5-10, 165) WR a teammate of very highly rated running back Marcus Lattimore. I think RR and staff were looking to do a teammate offer thing, but Marcus does not have Michigan in his top 5. So I'm wondering if they would even take a verbal from Nick at this point. Nick's other offers are from Northern Illinois and Georgia Southern. Michigan is pretty full at WR, unless you bring a 5 star RB with you.

• Defensive end/OL Henry Anderson (6-6, 245) of College Park, Ga may visit Ann Arbor this summer.

• DB Keion Payne (6-0, 165), has 19 offers and Michigan is one of them. Keion does not currently have a leader.

• DE Jordan Allen (6-6, 258) of West Monroe, La has a Michigan offer.

• Cincinnati DE Jibreel Black decided against Michigan, MSU, and Cincinnati to play with his brother at Indiana. “I want to make a splash,” Jibreel said. “It’s a good fit for me." “(The IU coaching staff) was very excited,” Black said about his decision. “They said I could be the one to make the difference.” Michigan doesn't loose too many recruits to IU, but I guess Blood is thicker then Maize and Blue.

• A great answer from RR from an interview with Angelique S. Chengelis from the Detroit News. (Background: Some people have suggested that MSU has dominated the State of Michigan in recruiting the last two years. The fact is only a few players have gone to MSU that had Michigan offers). Now on to the Q&A: Q . But there seems to be the perception that Michigan State is taking over the state in recruiting A . Last I checked, Mike Martin and Will Campbell were playing for Michigan. Case Closed. Great Answer.
