Michigan Monday: 100 Offers Hit the Street for 2012

Recruiting still remains a hot topic at Schembechler Hall these days as it's being reported that Michigan has 100 2012 offers on the street.  These offer are all verbal at this point and fit well into Michigan's "green" initiative since written offers can't go out until 9/1/11.  

I ripped this from UMhero on Mgoblog:

The 100 includes:
7 QBs
9 RBs
13 WRs
7 TEs
21 OL
12 DEs
12 DTs
9 LBs
5 CBs
5 Ss

Among the 100, 66 are on the Rivals 250 Watch list and 37 are either 4 or 5 Star player on Scout.  57 on Offense and 43 on Defense.  Do you think the coaches are a little worried about the offensive line with 21 offers out right now?

Here is a list of all 100 offers.

• Schilling does well at the Combine.

• Cass Tech CB Terry Richardson got an OSU offer on Sunday.  Michigan has some work to do in this recruitment.

• Thought for the day: MSU will have played two games since Michigan beat Minnesota before their in-state match up next Saturday.  Will the Spartans be a bit fatigued after their 20 point loss on Sunday and their game on Wednesday against Iowa?

2 Wolverine Recurits Earn MVP honors at Scout.com Chicago Combine

One of these guys was not a surprise, the other was.

The defensive MVP went to: Mylan "clamps" Hicks a cornerback from Detroit Renaissance. Here are some highlights from his MVP performance:

• Measured in at over 5"11
• Ran a 4.49 on a tweaked hamstring
• Shuttle time at 4.23
• per Alan Trieu at Scouts: This kid is confident, aggressive and cannot stand giving up completions. He is a competitor and a battler. He came up and pressed several receivers into the ground and into the sideline. His feet are very quick and his makeup speed is good, so that, combined with his physicality really makes him a great all-around package.
• Current offers from: Syracuse, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue and Michigan

The Offensive MVP went to a 2011 WR recruit from Saginaw, Michigan: DeAnthony Arnett. Getting these awards are harder for younger players but DeAnthony was impressive in Chicago.

• Ran a 4.51 in the 40 while recovering from a sprained ankle from earlier in the week
• A 4.32 Shuttle time as well
• Was smooth and quick out of his breaks
• Alan from Scouts on DeAnthony: In 1-1s, his route running was impressive and his quickness off the line allowed him to get off the line against some of the more physical defenders. He made a couple of great leaping grabs and drew some oohs and aahhs from the peanut gallery on several double moves where he left his man.
• Offers: Only one from Michigan. Tennessee, MSU and Wisconsin have shown recent interest.
