It's official Michigan had a terrible January and an incredible February. Michigan had 5 top prospects they were recruiting for the 2012 class and went 0-5 in January. Then they signed a top 5 class on February 1st and picked up 11 verbal commitments for the 2013 class at the end of February.
Michigan closed the door on the 2012 class last night as Alex Kozan picked Auburn. I wonder if it had anything to do with most of the Michigan coaches being on vacation? I'm sure Alex picking Auburn didn't even phase Brady Hoke a bit with the momentum he has going on the recruiting trail right now.
In fact, Michigan may now have room for one more OL in the 2013 class. Which would be nice with a couple of high profile guys still out there that are very interested in Michigan. I am betting a lucky walk-on might get a scholarship now as well.
Funk's #1 job this spring will be to develop a couple new centers. We saw how the start of the Sugar Bowl went, with Molk sitting out. Next year will be very key with Denard still running the shotgun spread.
- Ohio 4 star LB Mike McCray is set to announce his college decision on 3/8. He attends Mike Shaw's and Roy Roundtree's HS (Trotwood- Madison). He is visiting Michigan on 3/6 and has already been up to A2. He is rated the #44 player in the country by Rivals and his final schools are Arizona, Illinois, Tennessee, Michigan, South Carolina and Oklahoma. The strange thing here is Mike has family ties to OSU and they have not offered yet. This could be the case where he is trying to force Urban's hand or he is fed up and wants to close down his recruitment.
- Wolverine NFL Combine re-cap: Bottom Line Molk, Martin and Hemingway are all 4-7 round projected draft picks.

Hey Big Bob, from a pretty good source, I've heard that Kozan wanted to come to Michigan but his parents wanted him to go to Auburn. Hummm who's going to school Mom and Dad or young Mr. Kozan???
That is strange. It seems you would want your kid to go to a better academic school. Too bad.
It seems both school would take a plane ride from Colorado.
Side note: Did the Kozans just get a new car? Just kidding of course.
LOL...Thats our former QB at work again,damn he's good.
All you have to know about Auburn is in the book "Bo Knows Bo" -- it's the off-field practice breaks that got his attention; not academics. GO BLUE!
I'm somewhat glad to save the scholarship for the 2013 class. We are set to bring in an unprecedented number of top 100 players. We need the spots...
