NIL has changed the way 5-star players are recruited. Many of them now want $5K just to do a visit. If they want $5K just to visit, I can't imagine how much they are looking for to commit to your program? Michigan will not be playing that game.
So Michigan will have to continue to build its program with 4-stars and an occasional 5-star that either loves the Wolverines or is looking for a strong academic opportunity. 5-star OT Andrew Babalola is a 6'6 280 pound OT from Kansas who keeps academics very high in his decision process. In fact, some services a few months ago started to predict Andrew to Stanford. Babalola is the 14th ranked player on 24/7 and 26th on the composite.
Andrew didn't commit and now has a pretty strong finalist of schools as he inches closer to a decision. Michigan is clearly in the mix. In May he visited Auburn and Missouri. In June he visited Stanford, Michigan, and Oklahoma. Now the decision sits with Andrew and we hope he picks Ann Arbor.
- Moe is heading back to the Michigan Magic in Orlando for 2-years and 22 M.
- Alex Orji and MSU QB Aiden Chiles are doing a free youth football camp in Detroit.
- Blake Anderson is out at Utah State after a Title IX investigation
Have a great 4th and holiday weekend!
