Michigan Football Tuesday: Pioneers and Pizza

Ricardo Miller is one of the top WR prospects in the nation. He is a 4 star prospect and loves the Wolverines so much he is transferring high schools to be right across the street from the Big House. Yes, you got that right. Ricardo Miller is transferring from the hot bed of high school football in the state of Florida to play at Ann Arbor Pioneer this Fall. Somewhere from above the late famous Pioneer High School Football coach, Chuck Lori is smiling.

Ricardo will only be a Pioneer for one semester as he plans to enroll in January at U of M. On a side note, Pioneer got it's nick name because they were the first public high school in Michigan. Your editor and chief of BigHouse Blog is also a proud Pioneer Alum.

• Pizza Bowl? The Motor City Bowl has lost most of it's sponsorship due to the downturn in the economy and The Big 3 needing to invest marketing or bailout funds elsewhere. So in a strange turn of events the Motor City Bowl will now be called: Little Caesar's Pizza, Pizza Bowl - the name is not official yet because the Little Caesar's board has to vote on it. Also being discussed is the "Hot and Ready" Bowl or the "Crazy Bread' Bowl. Could you put Chili in the Crazy Bread Bowl? :-)
  


• Michigan 2010 recruits visiting for the ND game include: Florida CB Tony Grimes, LB from Maryland Josh Furman, and Michigan commit Dallas running back Tony Drake. Class of 2011 recruit and former teammate of Ricardo Miller in Orlando, RB Demetrius Hart is also planning a visit for the ND game.
  


• Zoltan Mesko, Michigan's All American Punter has never missed a day of school. Never!
  


• State of Michigan 2010 punter Mike Sadler commits to the Spartans. Mike didn't have a Michigan offer which means Rich Rod and staff have all their "punting apples in one basket" and that basket is Wisconsin punter Will Hagerup.
  


• Fall Camp is almost here: Players report on Sunday. Mark Ortman is all in. Are you? "It seems like forever since we've played, other than the spring game, and I know from talking with the guys as we've been working out that everyone is real anxious for camp to start," Ortmann said. "You take a lot of steps in preparation for the next season, with lifting and conditioning and all, but once camp opens, you know the waiting is over. It's all football then."
  


• JeRon Stokes brother Malik Stokes has an offer from Central Michigan to play WR. Malik plays QB in high school. Central is Malik's only offer to date.
