Monday Quick Hits: Courtney Avery Commits to Michigan

Wednesday Quick Hits: Ricardo Miller's Move Set for Early July

  • Wide receiver commit Ricardo Miller is moving to Michigan from Orlando for good at the beginning of July. With Ann Arbor Huron changing offenses, it is no longer certain that Miller will go there for his final year of high school. Some other schools where he could end up are Ann Arbor Pioneer, Inkster, Saline, and Chelsea. I personally am hoping he goes to Inkster, as that is Devin Gardner's school. It would be nice to have them working together for an entire season before they actually get to U-M.

Tuesday Quick Hits: Cornelius Jones Commits to Michigan

  • South Carolina dual-threat quarterback Cornelius Jones committed to Michigan yesterday, becoming the Wolverines' 14th verbal for 2010. He is the second QB to commit and will likely be the last at that position for Michigan in this class. Devin Gardner is already a part of this class, and Jones is a good addition for future depth purposes at QB or perhaps another position. He is an athlete, and it's not like the depth chart for QB should be all that thin by the time he gets here.

Thursday Quick Hits: Rodriguez Discusses Grady Brothers

  • Senior pitcher Chris Fetter was drafted in the ninth round by the San Diego Padres.
  • Two incoming freshmen, Daniel Fields and Derek Dennis, were also drafted. Fields was taken by the Tigers in the sixth round and Dennis went to the Rays in the tenth round. It appears that Dennis will pass up the Rays and go to Michigan, but no word yet on what Fields will do. An opportunity to play for his hometown team has to be enticing.

Wednesday Quick Hits: Ken Wilkins Commits to Michigan

Can’t Beat ‘Em? Take Their Players

I normally don’t post about individual commitments or recruiting updates in general, but I think this is fairly important. Tennessee got another defensive lineman - tackle, specifically - to join the group for 2010 in the form of John Brown.

This is important for two reasons. First, Brown is transferring from the University of Florida to Northeast Mississippi Junior College in the fall to likely an early enrollee at Tennessee in December or January (he says he will sign with the Vols as soon as he can).

Christian Pace Commits to Michigan

Ohio offensive lineman Christian Pace committed to Michigan on Monday. Pace is a three-star center/offensive guard on both Rivals and Scout and is Michigan's 12th commit for 2010. He holds offers from Michigan State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Colorado, Florida State, Illinois, and Iowa among others.

Pace is on the top 150 watch list on ESPN, which has this to say about him:

Monday Quick Hits: Kelvin Grady to Play Football at Michigan?

  • Kelvin Grady has already left the Michigan basketball team, but he hasn't transferred to a new school yet. That may not end up being necessary at all, as he is apparently looking into playing football at Michigan. He would probably be a running back/slot receiver, which is what he basically played in high school.

Hey Auburn…Thanks!

In the eyes of rival fans and the so-called “outsiders,” Lane Kiffin has made Tennessee football sort of an offseason laughing-stock. What with Kiffin’s incorrectly calling Urban Meyer a cheater and the secondary violations and taking in Daniel Hood and the other stuff - I’ll save you the recap - UT has been the brunt of jokes and criticism. Of course the beauty in this is that Kiffin doesn’t give a you-know-what about any of it (as should Tennessee fans)…

Friday Quick Hits: Michigan Defeats Alabama, Moves on to Face Florida

  • Michigan beat Alabama with relative ease last night, winning its opening game at the WCWS by a score of 6-1. The Wolverines will take on Florida tonight at 9 p.m. on ESPN2. Florida beat Michigan 12-4 way back in February and is 60-3 this season.
  • The Michigan men's golf team has advanced to the NCAA match play finals after finishing sixth in the play-in round. Only eight teams are still alive for a national title, and Michigan's next step to reaching that goal is beating USC, which finished tied for third in the play-in round.

This Is Good Stuff

I think I’ve made my disdain for the University of Memphis Tigers basketball program pretty well-known. So when I got a text message from my dad last night in the middle of the Lakers-Nuggets game alerting me of the allegations against the Tigers, I must admit I got a kick out of it.

The Tigers’ best season, where they won 38 games and should have won a national championship (thank you Mario Chalmers), now apparently will be null-and-void.
