From the out of nowhere file: Michigan plucks a 4-star OT from the 2020 class that has 4 years remaining to play and has been on a religious mission. You might remember the name Andrew Gentry who picked Virgina over Michigan in the 2020 class. Coming out of HS Andrew was a 6'8 310 pounds, a top 100 player, and 8th OT. He has been working in a Spanish speaking area part of Utah for two years and hasn't watched a minute of TV and gets to workout 1/2 an hour a day. Virgina just lost their head coach Bronco Mendenhall and Jimmy and staff was able to speak to Andrew and his father by phone. Andrew committed on the spot. His dad says he is not in football shape or weight but he has done a decent job of keeping weight on. What a get for this class that needed another OT! You think he might be surprised how good Ted Lasso is?
Future is Bright file: Comes Raylen Wilson a 4-Star LB in the 2023 with offers from everyone. He is rated the 74th player nationally and the 6th best player in Florida. It was a Michigan vs. GA decision and he picked the Wolverines last night. Welcome!
We have a chance file: Comes these 2022 visitors who are expected in A2 between today - through the weekend:
Deone Walker DT Cass Tech - There has been some rocky road in his recruitment to Michigan but he is planning to be on campus today and Friday before heading to UK. Michigan needs him, but most believe he will head out of state. I hope the coaches work some magic.
Derrick Moore DE from Baltimore St. Frances - He obviously played for Biff and there was some thought he might not be able to come to Michigan due to the rule about hiring the HS coach. He was committed to Oklahoma before Lincoln logged out of there. He is a high 4-star DE with a ton of offers and would be a huge get at the bell. If he is visiting, I'm sure Michigan has everything worked out with the NCAA and Biff.
Darrius Clemons is a 4-star WR from Oregon: He visited A2 in June and is one of those guys that loves every stop his been at. Most thought he was going to be a "Duck" before Mario went to South Beach. Would love to get him on campus this weekend and see if Gattis can work some magic. This would be an unofficial so he would be flying out on his own dime which would be a good sign if it happens.
Alex Orji QB from Texas who is committed to VA Tech, who also has gone through a coaching change. He is 6'2 226 and had crazy stats in high school. He is rated as a 3-star but could fit nicely into a QB room with a ton of talent.
- Hutch adds more hardware - Winning the Lombardi Award last night. All along I thought Rocky might win that at NIU? 😀
- Seems Oakland/Las Vegas is sniffing around Jimmy again. Get out of here and get yourself a good haircut!
- Nebraska has hired former Pitt OC Mark Whipple - Don't squeeze the Charmin

Mr. Whipple... ha!
Do we know how many seasons Ronnie Bell has left? I assume at least one, but curious if he used up all his exemptions and is officially a Sr. His playing next year would def ease the pain of fewer WR recruits.
Bell has 1 left.... Yes having him come back is huge if he is fully healed...
I'm not as hyped up about getting Gentry yet... He hasn't played FB in 2 years and is not in FB shape... He's worth a shot due to his prior level of play but lets give it a year and see how it goes... If it pays off he'd be a 24 year old Senior....
