Recruiting Intro: Like his good friend Terry Richardson, Ross could be very hard to keep in state; especially since he grew up a bit of an OSU fan. Still, Michigan has offered, whilst the Buckeyes haven’t, so that’s a bit of good fortune. Having Greg Mattison as the defensive co-ordinator will only help things, as all middle linebackers want to be Ray Lewis...It’s still early days, but I’m reasonably optimistic about Michigan’s chances.
Recruiting Updates: N/A
Its curious that so many LBs were taken in the '11 class when LBs like Jenkins-Stone and Ross are two of the highest profile recruits in the state in '12. I suppose it's wise to not assume they'll come to Michigan, but one has to wonder what the impact of that strategy is on these two highly regarded players.
