Visiting this weekend. CB's from Loy and Wiltfong

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

He already has an offer? The coaches must've seen something they really liked.

he camped in the summer here...msu is the threat at this point

 

[Irish#1]

RB or LB?

I trust the staff, but given his mid level offers, I wonder what the coaches saw in him?

 

[Luckylucci]

Here's his midseason highlights.

Kid flies around and hits big. I'd gladly take an early commit from him. There is no way this kid stays unranked after people see him this season.

Isn't this the high school literally across the street from Michigan Stadium?

 

[PANDFAN]

"Everything! Academics are great! Football program is thriving right now and it looks like nothing will change for a while and the coaches. I got a strong relationship with the coaches."

Then I guess we'll have to lock him up early, lol.

being only a junior it's possible he just hasn't got enough film/camp visits to bump up rankings and offers.

 

[tko]

great made up name.

 

[IrishinSTL]

Looks really nice. If he struggles adding weight, I could see him playing a similar role to what Tranquil has thus far.

Indeed.

It's an ENORMOUS high school. Surprised they don't crank more talent honestly.

yup, Skyline (the school Daelin Hayes goes to) was established in 2008 because Pioneer and nearby Huron High Schools were so overcrowded.

Pioneer are undefeated this year and are 4-0. They got Saline HS in a few weeks which should be a great matchup

Recruiting: In-state prospects see U-M defeat UNLV

Several players from nearby Ann Arbor Pioneer made the trip, including 2017 athlete Antjuan Simmons. The 6-1, 200-pounder has excelled on both sides of the ball this fall, and could be a candidate for a Michigan offer down the road. Previously plying his trade primarily as a running back, he’s been most impressive as an outside linebacker for Pioneer in 2015.

Simmons spoke with running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley (whose son, Terius, is Simmons’ teammate at Pioneer) and recruiting coordinator Erik Campbell while in town. He’s made several past visits to Ann Arbor, including for the Wolverines’ annual “Barbecue at the Big House” recruiting event in early August, and is building a rapport with the Michigan staff.

 

[PANDFAN]

"The coaching staff, the players, all around it was amazing," he said. "The fan base, just everything from the tour guide to the fans, it was just crazy.

"I only got a small taste of it," Simmons added regarding a Notre Dame football experience. "I haven't seen what it's like in a rivalry game under the lights. I can't even imagine what that's like. I have to come back down to see it."

sounds like he might be returning for USC with that last statement.

Is it just me, or is every recruit being compared to Tranquill lately? lol

Dru is becoming our Percy Harvin?

 

[NDPhilly]

Ohio state offered. Meyer must have read his quotes on his ND visit.

RB or LB?

It's still extremely early in the 2017 process.

Strange that he doesn't have an offer from Michigan yet. Pioneer High is literally kitty corner to Michigan Stadium..
