Michigan Monday: Is Kicking It!

Michigan Football had a big recruiting weekend, named Victors Weekend.  Coach Whitt rode a custom built motorcycle into the Big House.  Our new coach has some swagger and I like it!  It was also a weekend to to show commits and other recruits the special place A2 is in the summer and year round. 

Former IMG and now Milton, GA 2028 kicker Ryan Jung picked up an offer from his dream school at camp last week and immediately accepted. Ryan is ranked the #1 kicker to Kohls but we are still waiting on rankings from Macy's, Marshalls, and Target (which would be a great name for a kicking camp).  If kicking doesn't work out, maybe he can play Safety at 6'2 200 pounds. 😀

Michigan did land a commitment from Victors Weekend, but I'm only somewhat excited.  It's from a rising 6'5 TE prospect named Christian Hanshaw.  Coach Whitt played with his dad at BYU so there is a long time connection with the family.  The reason I'm more fair to Midland on this commitment is Christian will be taking a 2 year Mormon Mission starting in December/January and won't show up in A2 until 2029.   Those missions are hard core and he will only get to work out a limited time a week and of course won't touch a football for 2 years.   I don't care how athletic you are, if you stop doing something for 2 years, its hard to regain that skill.   As we know, things can also drastically change in 2 years. 

The buzz is Michigan expects more commitments this week from Victors Weekend! 

• The US Open was interesting and I guess the lockers at Shinnecock are safe!  It seems that in many majors now, guys get out to a fast start and then start leaking oil but hang on for a win because nobody can make a run because the course is too tough.  

• The NBA Draft is almost here and Michigan's Big 3 National Champions should go anywhere from 8-20.
