Michigan Tuesday: Did I Mention New 2012 Offers?

  • Donovan Roberts (6'0 195 lbs.) a RB from Oklahoma got a Michigan offer last night.
  • Both Michigan and Ohio State offered Jaquay Williams on Monday.  JW is a 6'4 185 pound WR.
  • California DT Aziz Shittu (6'2", 280 lbs):  I'm pumped. I just talked to Coach Mattison and he said I'm what they need at Michigan. He likes the way I play, and they offered. [Mattison] has coached at the highest level, so he knows what he's talking about.
  • Missouri DT Ondre Pipkins (6'3 320 lbs.): This is a big offer, most definitely. They were telling me that they want me up there bad. I'll try to get up there in the summer if not mid March. It's great to have the offer, with the new defensive coordinator it means they'll have a tough hard nose defense. Michigan is definitely in my top five.
  • Michigan also offered Maryland Athlete Ronald Darby (5'11 172 lbs).  Ron's offer list is a who's who of college football.  He isn't ranked yet but his offer list looks 5 star worthy. 
  • Dallas OLB Peter Jinkens (6'1 208 lbs.) has a Michigan offer.  He plays at Sam McGuffie's high school.
  • MA OLB Carmen Williams (6'2 200 lbs) also was offered this weekend.
  • TomVH from Mgoblog has a interview with OL prospect Dan Voltz  (6'5 289 lbs.) up.
Two players that stood out in the Midwest Camp at U of M on Sunday were TE prospects Devin Funchess and Ron Thompson.   Michigan is in early on both players and some insiders think Ron might be Michigan's first verbal for the 2012 class.  We will see but both are big kids and very good TE prospects.

Kentucky's Zeke Pike will be one of the nation's top recruited QB's.  Zeke has a Michigan offer and one of his friends, Chris Barnett will be a freshman at Michigan next year.  Chris was Michigan's last commitment for the 2011 class.   Having Chris on the team gives Michigan a good shot at landing Zeke.  Hopefully, with Zeke in driving distance from Ann Arbor he will make a visit to the Big House this spring or summer.
