Michigan Monday: 2 Players Now Gone from the 2010 Class and a Mini Recruiting Blitz

We all know about the Demar Dorsey situation and what did and didn't happen in the admissions office.   Demar this weekend decided he would join Louisville's program.  Which is now coached by former Florida DC Charlie Strong and former Michigan coach Vance Bedford.   Good luck to Demar down in Louisville. 

Next is we are getting word that Ohio LB Antonio Kinard is heading to Junior College or a Prep School. Both Demar and Antonio were the two recruits "in question" on whether they would qualify or not at Michigan.  It seems neither player will make it to Ann Arbor this summer.

The difference is Demar is heading to another BCS school and Antonio is trying to get his grades in shape so he can head up to Michigan.   “T.K. loves the University of Michigan," Whittaker said. "The only goal in his life right now is to get through this and play at the University of Michigan. He’s had other Division I programs, which I’m not going to name, call him and want him to look at their universities. Big-time programs. They wanted to set him up with different schools and what not. His focus has not deviated one bit from the University of Michigan. He truly loves Coach Rodriguez and the University of Michigan."

Mini Recruiting Blitz:

Michigan camp visitors this weekend included:  Ray Ball, Kris Frost, and James Adeyanju.

Adeyanju: really enjoyed his visit and was with his high school head coach.  He is planning to visit MSU next week and might even stop by Ann Arbor with his parents. 

Frost enjoyed his visit and is getting a full court press from Auburn lately.  So this was important visit for Michigan's chances of landing him.  Frost is from North Carolina and Auburn is much closer to his home. 

Ray Ball was blown away with his U of M visit and said it was by far the best visit he has been on.

Avery Walls a 4 star CB from Georgia visited Michigan and MSU this past week.   He spent two days at Michigan.  He visited Ann Arbor for a day, went up to State, and then came back to Ann Arbor.


Sound Mind and Sound Body Camp Highlights:

Chris Bryant from Chicago was the best offense lineman at the camp.   Chris is 6'5, 330 pounds Offensive Tackle and currently doesn't hold a Michigan offer.  It sounds like one might be on the way!

Michigan verbal corner back Delonte Hollowell preformed well, now that track is over he can focus on football.

Update: We are hearing that Madison Heights athlete Valdez Showers now has an offer from the Florida Gators.  Valdez also has a Michigan and Michigan State offer.
