You would expect a boring day from both programs, right? Wrong.
Both picked up verbals again today.
Basketball:
Nik Stauskas joined Glenn Robinson III as the second commitment for Michigan's 2012 class. Nik is a 6'4 shooting guard that is rated 3 stars by pretty much every service but has a very nice offer list that includes Butler, Kansas, Iowa State, and Wake Forest.
UMHoops has a complete write up on Nik and his potential.
Football:
Remember when Michigan didn't have any commits and needed a ton of offensive lineman? Well, that was Thursday morning and now Michigan has 2. The latest is Caleb Stacey a 6'4 280 pound offensive lineman from Cincinnati. "I just got back from a visit to West Virginia, me and my parents sat down and talked about everything. We just decided that Michigan was the right place for me. It was just the place I felt best and I felt comfortable."
Caleb isn't ranked by any of the services yet but still had a decent offer sheet that included pretty much every MAC school, BC, NC State, Wake, WVU, and South Florida. Michigan is looking to take maybe 5-6 offensive lineman in the 2012 class and they are now off to a flying start. With Ben Braden late on Thursday and now Caleb on Saturday.
More News:
- Darius Morris has decided to file for the NBA Draft but will not hire an agent. If he doesn't sign with an agent or sign an endorsement deal he can come back to Michigan. I think "the butterfly" could use one more year at least. Darius really improved his game this year, but still needs to work on his jump shooting skills. If he adds a "J" he will be a more complete NBA prospect.
- An update on Matt Godin's recruitment from Matt's brother: Just got off the phone with my dad, who is at EMU today with Matthew for a track meet. Tom Lemming is in Ann Arbor this weekend, and he made it out to EMU to meet my brother. Lemming told Matthew that he'll be recommending him for both the Army and UA All-American games. My dad also told me that he and Matthew are probably heading over to Ann Arbor after the track meet to visit with the coaches. Let's hope Matt is Michigan's 3rd commitment.
