Michigan Friday: Welcomes an Instate Athlete

Lundon Hampton has a great name and sounds like a great destination to take a Summer Vacation to.  Hey Becky, where are you headed this Holiday Weekend?  Oh, love we of course are going to Lundon Hampton to enjoy the beach and shopping. 

Fortunately for Michigan fans, Hampton is a swiss army knife type of player.  He is 6'2 and 203 pounds and has been recruited everywhere from LB, Safety, Nickel, and Running Back.  He also returns kicks for his high school in Grand Rapids.  

Hampton is a 3 star (mostly because services don't know where to rank him) but teams really like him and he has a host of offers from the likes of PSU, Pitt, MSU, Iowa, BC, CAL, Louisville, UK and many more.   His recruitment was led by Michigan RB coach Tony Alford so there is a very good chance he ends up a RB in Ann Arbor.  

• Michigan Baseball stays alive in the Big Ten Tournament after a 3-0 win over OSU.  It's now single elimination from here on out. 

Enjoy the holiday weekend!  

Michigan Thursday: Just Hitting The Highlights

• Michigan Freshman Center Marcus Moller reports he is cancer free and ready to start basketball activity again.  The book on MM is that he is a 7'3 center from Denmark that has a good shooting touch and not afraid of the 3 ball.  Yes, please! 

• Look who's back in College Football.  Lane and LSU hired back Coach O.  LSU loves a rehire as they just hired their former basketball coach Will Wade back.  Who just signed an G-League player. 

• 100 Days until College Football kicks off! 

• 5 Star CB Joshua Dobson met with Michigan last night.

Wolverine Wednesday: Wishes Morez Good Luck

When your team wins a national championship you lose key players and coaches.  The football team lost its head coach and its QB.  The basketball team loses a key assistant and their top 3 players to the draft.  Morez made it official yesterday that he is staying in the NBA Draft.   This was always the presumed decision path after his strong play in Chicago at the combine.  The only thing that was making this a difficult decision was Morez love for the Michigan program and Dusty.    He made the right decision, his stock may never be higher then it is right now.  

His mock draft status seems to be anywhere from #12 to #22.  

Time for Dusty to fill that last roster spot with a knock down shooter (or a back up point). 

• Michigan is doing a smart move by buying a lot of Concordia College campus.   What a great way for UM to expand in Ann Arbor.  

• Iowa State AD's is sick of The Big Ten and SEC and thinks they should break away.   Take it easy Francis. 

• Tony Petitti is going to die on the 24 team playoff format. I'm really torn here, I'm not a Tony fan but I think playoff expansion is inevitable as the Bowl Games are completely irrelevant.

• Michigan has offered NFL ESPN analyst Booger's son, Marcus Spears Jr.

Michigan Tuesday: The Commitment Train Keeps Rollin!

Michigan landed another commitment on Monday from CA 4-star CB Darius Johnson.  Even his name sounds like a Michigan corner.  Darius is 6'1 and 170 pounds, the 313th ranked player to the Composite and 35th CB.  He ironically plays for Notre Dame a high school in Riverside, CA.  His offer list was West Coast heavy with the likes of Arizona, AZ, UW, BYU, CAL, Oregon, USC, UCLA, MSU, Purdue, IU, OK, and more. 

Michigan now has the 11th ranked class on 24/7.

• Dusty is taking his guys to Europe this summer for a business trip. They will take on pro teams from Lithuania and Croatia.

• Rez continues to climb teams draft boards and his return to A2 continues to seem unlikely. 

• LSU has signed former St. John’s All-American forward RJ Luis who played last year in the G-League. How is this possible?
