Michigan Friday: Which Instate Recruits is Michigan Trending Up or Down With?

Before we get to the instate recruits, lets recap some things happening around the NCAA:

• Michigan commit RB King Davis has picked up offers from Florida and LSU recently.   Sounds like he is ready to take a jump up the recruiting rankings.

• QB Golson is transferring from ND.  He sure has had an interesting career at Notre Dame, he looked like a world beater and then got suspended for academic fraud.   

• Jake Ryan signed a contract with Green Bay that should pay him just under $3M for 4 years.

• 2016 LB Brendan Ferns who is the brother of Mike Ferns who recently transferred from Michigan to WVU,  has mutually parted ways with OSU because OSU doesn't offer his major petroleum engineering.  Michigan is not a factor in his recruitment.

Now to the instate recruits Trending Meter:



• *Down* Detroit King WR Donnie Corley just received an invite to Nike's Opening and has some huge offers.  He continues to say, he really hasn't heard much from the Michigan staff lately.   Not sure why the Wolverines have cooled on Corley if that is the case.

• *UP* Cass Tech OG/DT Michael Onwenu performed will at the Opening camp but didn't receive an offer.  He continues to see himself in the Maize and Blue next year.  OSU was his early leader but it looks like the Wolverines have caught up and past the Buckeyes.

• *Hold* Farmington Hills WR Des Fitzpatrick was expected to flip from Louisville to Michigan after his teammate David Resse did during Spring Game weekend.  That hasn't happened and the longer his recruitment goes, the worse it probably is for Michigan.

• *A little Up* Daelin Hayes sure has had a few interesting years.  He is rated a 5 star prospect but has been transferring schools and really hasn't played much football the last two years.  He is now in Michigan's backyard at Skyline but hasn't moved off his USC commitment.  If you remember, he was only days away from announcing for Michigan, when other schools started offering.  He took a trip out west and loved it.   He said recently, that he had been talking to Michigan lately.   Lots of room to make up here, but being able to attend every home game probably doesn't hurt Michigan's chances.  His senior year will go a long way for him keeping his 5 star status.

• *Way Down* Plymouth Canton OT Michael Jordan surprisingly committed to Ohio State yesterday.   This was a surprise commitment and one we thought Michigan might be leading in.  It's a long way to signing day but this commitment caught many off guard.
