Michigan Thursday: Recruiting Blitz

The Michigan coaching staff is on the road for what is considered a four-six week Spring evaluation period. Look for the number of Michigan offers to increase this month as kids are visited in their high schools.

Some visits already completed include: WR DeAnthony Arnett, RB Justice Hayes, and LB Trey DePreist.

• Roy Roundtree is helping recruit WR AJ Jordan from his former high school, Trotwood-Madison, in Ohio. AJ now has an offer from Michigan.

• TomVH at Mgoblog continues his strong recruiting position updates. Today is the Defensive Line.

• Sam Webb reports on a 2011 QB Cardale Jones who plays in "The Vests" backyard at Cleveland: Glenville. Both Michigan and MSU have offered Cardale.

• Both Detroit Newspapers have seen subscriptions go way down. The Detroit News has seen a 24 percent up tick in their online version. The other paper (yes, the one that threw RR and the Michigan program under the bus) is down 13 percent in subscriptions and the web visitors are only up 2.2 percent. I guess it doesn't sell more newspapers when they attack the local University. Oops! (HT: Mgoblog )

• The Wolverine.com lists the things they have learned from Spring Ball. Tidbits include: most improved: JT Floyd and Big Will and freshman expected to contribute Cullen Christian and Josh Furman.
