Both Rivals and Scout's are reporting that an announcement for Devin Gardner, one of the top dual threat QB's in the country is going to happen soon. For those that don't know Devin, he is a 6"4 195 lbs. QB from Inkster, Michigan. He is rated as one of the top high school football recruits out of the State of Michigan in 2010. William Gholston is rated #1 in the state per Rivals.
Some insiders are saying the announcement may come as early as next Monday.
So bare with me and I will try to piece this together for you:
- Both Michigan recruiting sites are reporting that he will announce soon
- OSU recently said, they are interested in Joe Montana's son at QB and that Devin would be their second choice.
- Michigan's Junior Day is this Friday
- The Night of Champions is Friday night
- Michigan opens Spring Practice on Saturday
- Michigan has 3 verbal commits from top rated WR's in the 2010 class
- Devin is reportedly attending Junior day and The Night of Champions. He may also stay to watch practice on Saturday.
- Stephen Threet has transferred
Does all these pieces fit a Michigan verbal commit? I like our chances!
Let's also not forget another high profile QB named Kevin Newsome did the same thing and then de-committed later in the summer. Though, Kevin wasn't from the Great Lake State!
More to come on this story, but I like how the facts stack up in Michigan's favor.
