• Todd Chandler , a four-star DT prospect from Miami (FL) Northwestern, will visit Rich Rod and Ann Arbor on Jan. 22. He is currently a South Florida commit. He is also being recruited by Charlie Strong the new head coach at Louisville. Todd is also a teammate of current Michigan recruit Torrian Wilson, who maybe attending Ann Arbor with Todd on the 22nd.

• Johnathan Hankins , a DT from Detroit, might announce his college decision this week. His father said a few weeks ago that Johnathan would announce before Christmas, which didn't happen. His final three are Michigan, Ohio State, and Florida, with some recruiting insiders suggesting that Alabama might be making a late run at him.

• It seems Michigan has some interest in Tennessee-committed linebacker Mike Taylor .

• Michigan's recruiting pipeline at Detroit's Cass Tech might have taken a quick detour with CB Dior Mathis , who many believe will end up an Oregon Duck.
