Michigan Monday: Recruiting and Spring Practice Updates

The reports from Spring Practice is the team is really improving on both sides of the ball. The offense seems to be a bit more dynamic with Denard running the offense and adding a passing game to his electric game breaking speed. The defense seems to have more depth and improved tackling. It will be intresting to see what happens in the Fall when the freshman get in. Michigan still has depth and youth concerns at corner.

  • The Gordon's at the Big House: Two guys making noise in Spring Practice is Cam Gordon at Safety and Thomas Gordon at the Spinner, Bandit or the Stevie Brown position from last year. Both are said to be making great progress at those positions and the position change from offense for Cam, is said to be the right move. The buzz from practice is that Cam is a big hitter and that Thomas made a number of plays at Stevie's old position on Saturday.

  • Trey Zeigler to CMU? The rumor this weekend was that Trey had made his decision on going to Central Michigan. The reason for the rumor was that his father had agreed on a contract extension at Central. Trey has debunked those rumors but it seems The Chips are now the team to beat.

  • Doran Grant a 5 star CB from Akron was in town this weekend to visit Ann Arbor again. He was also in town for the OSU game last Fall. It seems Doran was again impressed by his visit, but there is still a long way to go.

  • The Sporting News talks to Brandon Minor.

  • A couple of 2012 recruits made it to Ann Arbor on Saturday to watch the scrimmage. James Ross, Jr. and Terry Richardson.

  • Mgoblog recruiting insider gives us an update on Ohio DT Kevin Williams. Kevin was at MSU last weekend and had a great visit and plans on attending Nebraska's Spring Game next weekend (his HS coach and Bo Pelini are good friends). Neither visit is good news for the Wolverines recruitment of Kevin.
