• Michigan may get a 2011 commitment this weekend from Detroit Cass Tech cornerback Delonte Hollowell:"'I look at it like it's no point in waiting (to make a commitment) because what's the point?' Hollowell said. 'I could always decommit. I think I'm going to make an early decision —probably this month sometime. I got my (Michigan) offer Sept. 1 and we've been talking about (committing to Michigan) ever since, so there's no point in waiting.'" I agree with you, Delonte, let's get this thing over with!
