Michigan Monday: Another 2024 Lineman Comes Home

The 2024 class is gunning to be the best recruiting class Michigan has ever had as they rank #3 in the country right now.  That is a very good goal, but I think it's fair to say that this could be the best group of offensive linemen ever.  Sure, none of these guys have played a down in the Big House yet but from a ratings standpoint, this could be a great class of road graters. 


The latest to jump on board is legacy 4-star recruit Blake Frazier son of former Michigan Man Steve Frazier.  Blake is 6'5 260 and has 25 offers from some of the top programs in the country.  Blake is the 12th commitment in the class and joins Luke Hamilton, Ben Roebuck, and Andrew Sprague as offensive line commits.  Michigan now just lacks a center and Jake Guarnera is announcing at the end of the month.  That should be it for offensive line recruiting unless a can't miss prospect falls into their lap.  I would assume Davis feels pretty good about his future protection. 

  • Idaho 4-star WR Gatlin Blair has Michigan in his top 5
  • The transfer portal window opened on Saturday for 2 weeks.  Football players have 2 weeks to decide if they want to look for a new home or not after Spring Practice.  (2-week window is only for jumping into the portal, as athletes don't need to make a decision that quickly on their new program). It's estimated that over 2000 players have been in the portal this cycle and about half have found new homes. 
  • Hunter is planning on visiting Kansas 
  • OSU Coach Brian Hartline was hospitalized after a late-night ATV accident on his property after their Spring Game on Saturday.  We hope he is recovering and the injuries are not considered life threating. 
  • The Michigan Panthers of the USFL got their first win of the season in their first game of the season after struggling last year.

I read that Bair intends to graduate next spring and then do his two-year mission because he is a Mormon. So, he wouldn't be on campus until 2026. No thanks.
