Michigan Monday: Weekend Wolverine Recruiting News

As we know, Michigan hosted it's second Junior Day of the recruiting season this past weekend. No matter if you love or hate Rich Rodriguez, you have to admit he has brought a number of new/positive events to the Michigan Football Program. Having a number of Junior Days gets players on campus and gets them familiar with the University of Michigan and they become more comfortable in being a future Wolverine.

Here are some news and notes from Junior Day:

• Michigan got Shawn Conway's commitment to the 2011 class this weekend. One of things missing from my post yesterday was his junior year stat's. Per Sam Web of WTKA and Scout: 79 catches, 800 yards, and 10 touchdowns. He also averages a double-double in basketball, 22 points and 10 boards per game.
• 2011 Athlete Cheatem Norrils from Toledo, Ohio made it to Junior Day.
• Melvin Gordon an Athlete (RB/WR) and the best player in the State of Wisconsin made it to Ann Arbor this weekend. He currently has offers from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
• Andre Walker, a 6'5 355 pound offensive tackle prospect from Glenville in Ohio. He was by far the biggest guy at Junior Day. We know Glenville is basically OSU High School but it's a very good sign for the Wolverines to have this "huge" prospect in Ann Arbor early in the process.
• James Ross, Jr. a big time prospect for the 2012 class got a Michigan offer this weekend. So yes, Michigan is in early on a top instate prospect for 2012.
• 4 star DE Brennen Beyer from Plymouth, MI was in Ann Arbor on Saturday and at MSU on Sunday
• West Branch, MI Offensive Lineman prospect Anthony Zettel was in Ann Arbor as well.
• 2011 RB/WR prospect Justice Hayes from Grand Blanc was in Ann Arbor.
• AJ Jordan a WR prospect from Trotwood - Madison in Ohio made it North for the weekend. Michigan has signed 3 prospects from Trotwood the past couple of years with the names of Shaw, Roundtree, and Moore.
• 2011 DT prospect from Ohio, Kevin Williams also made it in.

There was another event this weekend and it was the first Victors Rally, an event that supports the Michigan Football program past, present, and future. Here are some highlights:
