First things first. Michigan 2012 commit James Ross was selected as an Army All-American yesterday. Ross, the second rank LB in the country according to scout.com is one of seven players headed to Ann Arbor that has been selected as an All-American. That is impessive considering they have 23 commitments. Almost 1/3 of the commits are All-Americans. There is still time for more to be selected.

Michigan has a group of visitors this weekend. All the current commits are on officials as others come for the first time. With DB Anthony Standifer de-commiting, it opens up another scholarship. It seems that the top targets currently are DB Yuri Wright, DB Armani Reeves who I personally think will end up a Wolverine. He had Michigan no.2 behind Penn State when he committed. I believe TE JP Holtz will be visiting also, another PSU Commit. WR Jehu Chesson is another top target who may commit this weekend.
This is Ohio coach Urban Meyer's first weekend to make his presence felt. He has a great group of prospects visiting that include a couple PSU commits with Noah Spence and Tommy Schutt. Spence and Schutt are both huge targets considering Ohio only has maybe four or five spots left in this class and both, I'm sure, don't want to play for PSU. A few more players of importance are 5 star OL Jordan Diamond, 4 star DE and MSU commit SE'von Pittman, and a surprising 5 star QB from Alabama named Jameis winston who has verbaled to FSU. Why would Meyer recruit a QB with Miller being the QB of the future? Another story is the recruitment of 5 star RB Brionte Dunn out of Canton Glen Oak. His story is that he is committed to ohio but has visited Michigan twice with cousin and fellow Michigan commit Dymonte Thomas. Urban needs to convince him he will be relevant in his spread offense. Here are some highlights of these kids in action.
Jordan Diamond OL
He is huge and athletic. He does a great job of extending his arms on his initial punch and he has good feet. He gets out on his pulls well and stays in front of his RB but needs to improve his pad level and playing til the whistle blows. His size and strength speak for themselves as he flattens LB's at the second level.

Tommy Schutt DT
Wow, that is only the second time I have watched his film. Watch the play he makes at 1:26. Schutt is a PSU commit but is obviously looking around. That first play he lines up as a WDE and runs down the QB on the opposite of the field, Schutt is 6'3" 290LBS, he gets there pretty quickly for a big fella. He lines up on the weakside, strongside and inside, he can run and absolutely blows up the plays. He is disciplined also, watch him get off blocks and not over pursue the plays. I hope he doesn't commit this weekend.

Noah Spence DE
Spence is a 5 star DE who is committed to PSU. He is 6'3" 235 lbs and has an offer sheet that allows him to go anywhere in the country. He is 2 yds into the backfield before these tackles are coming out of their stance. It seems as if he causes TO's as well.

Jameis Winston QB
Winston is committed to FSU but is being recruited by Meyer. He is the no.1 ranked duall threat QB in this years class and is 6'4" roughly 200 lbs. Totally reminds me of Pryor but doesn't have the problems with his mechanics and accuracy. Sources ay he was the best passer at the elite 11 and his leadership skills were second to none. He throws the ball 60 yds in the air and his feet are not even set at 1:30.
