Wolverine Weekend Update: The Numbers Game

The new Michigan Media guide just came out and incoming freshman have numbers and there are a few guys missing from the roster.  The missing guys make are the ones making the most news:
#1 Hot Topic is Kellen Jones:  Is/was an incoming freshman that isn't on the roster.  He was a 4 star LB to Scouts and 3 Stars to Rivals in the 2011 class.  There are plenty of message board rumors flying around, which we hope are not true.  Kellen was very high on the Wolverines and is considered a nice LB prospect.  He was very excited to be a Wolverine.

#2 Christian Pace: Was a 2010 class center recruit from Avon Lakes, Ohio.  He red shirted last year due to Molk and a number of rumored injuries.  I expect that his injuries continue to be a major issue and he needs to take this year off or his football career might be in jeopardy. (again just speculation)

5th Year Guys Not on the Roster:  (all were expected)  Michael Williams, John Ferrara, Zac Ciullo, and Kevin Leach.   Good luck gentlemen!
