Did Michigan Fans Get an Early Christmas Present?

The Michigan Daily is reporting that someone by the name William Michael Campbell created a unique name in Michigan registration system to so they can enroll for the semester starting in January.

Of course, we can't officially confirm it's "Big Will" the five-star DT from Detroit, but I think there is pretty good odds it is. On a separate note, Robert Forcier (Tate), Vincent Smith, Brandin Hawthorne, Vlad Emilien all have unique names and email's addresses now in the Michigan system.

So let's keep this information between us and let "Big Will" make his announcement on January 3rd at the Army All American Game.

Other news and notes:

• It's official, Michigan Basketball center freshman Ben Cronin will have surgery on his injured left hip and miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to receive a medical redshirt.
• The rumor mill is saying that Coach Rod continues to look outside the program for his new defensive coordinator. If we don't get news on a new DC in the next week, look for Jay Hopson to get the gig.
• A potential replacement for the Beaver is: Denard Robinson a 6"1 185 lbs 4 star athlete from Florida. Denard is planning to visit Michigan on January 9th. "I like Michigan because the old coaches from West Virginia are there," Robinson said. "Coach Rich Rodriguez is trying to install his system there and I think I'd be a good fit. They need a good dual-threat quarterback like me. I won't be making a final decision until after my visits." Denard has visited Florida, Georgia, and also plans on visiting Kansas State and Central Florida.
• Pernell McPhee hasn't made his final decision yet but expect him to stay in the SEC and not head north to Michigan. Florida is making a late push for his services.
• Defensive lineman DeQuinta Jones has verbally committed to the Wolverines but hasn't made an official visit to Ann Arbor yet. He is planning on doing that in the next month but will also take some other official visits. I would consider DeQuinta to be a "soft" commit at this point.
