Terrance Davis DeMatha Catholic
Where will Terrance Davis commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Michigan, Florida, UCLA
Our current prediction: Michigan
The skinny: One of the major questions for Michigan in 2016 is how the situation with Davis will finish out. If the Wolverines can reel in
Jean Delance at tackle, it may be hard for them to fit Davis in, despite the fact that he almost certainly still has Michigan as a heavy favorite. Florida has surged over the last couple months and may be the beneficiary if things don't work out between the two parties. He will visit Ann Arbor next weekend for the Ohio State game after his last visit put Michigan way out in front for his services.
David Long Loyola
Where will David Long commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Michigan, Washington, Stanford
Our current prediction: Michigan (no Crystal Ball)
The skinny: Long's commitment to Stanford right now is butter soft, if not really even gone at this point. After that, it becomes a battle between Michigan and Washington, two teams that have maintained their persistence despite his commitment to the Cardinal earlier this summer. Long was in town for the Wolverines' tough loss against Michigan State, but it felt like they may have seized the momentum in his recruitment at that point. He is one of the tip-top targets in this class for Michigan as
Jim Harbaugh (and Sarah for that matter),
Mike Zordich, Greg Jackson, DJ Durkin,
John Baxter and Chris Partridge have all been involved in some capacity.
Jean Delance North Mesquite
Where will Jean Delance commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Texas, Michigan, Alabama, LSU
Our current prediction: 60% Texas/40% Michigan (no Crystal Ball)
The skinny: Texas and Michigan appear to have set the pace for the Top100 prospect, who says
Jim Harbaugh and
Charlie Strong have done the best job in building the best relationships with his family, which is important to him. This is one race where the uncertainty behind Strong's job could play into the hands of the Wolverines. Delance has yet to even visit either, meaning momentum could be headed in Michigan's direction in the near future. Definitely a race to keep an eye on.
Dylan Crawford Santa Margarita Catholic
Where will Dylan Crawford commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Michigan, Oregon
Our current prediction: Michigan
The skinny: Crawford claims interest in nine schools still, but it'd be a major, major surprise if he didn't end up committing to either Oregon or Michigan at some point. While Michigan appears to have seized the lead after a strong official visit (one in which Michigan reportedly won his parents over), Oregon has come to the forefront also and will host him for an official visit this weekend as the Ducks host USC. This is one race that Michigan appeared to be a lock for about a month ago, but it's now uncertain and will depend on how this official visit goes.
Jordan Elliott Westside
Where will Jordan Elliott commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Texas, Michigan, Baylor
Our current prediction: Texas (no Crystal Ball)
The skinny: Elliott has publicly named Michigan his leader three times now recently, and has done so without ever seeing Michigan's campus. The Wolverines are absolutely a factor in this race, but the history of his recruitment gives us pause when plugging him in as a potential Michigan commitment. We do believe the Wolverines have Elliott high on their defensive line board.
Donnie Corley Detroit Martin Luther King
Where will Donnie Corley commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main contenders: Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Michigan
Our current prediction: Michigan State
The skinny: Losing Corley would be a massive blow to Michigan State, who has been believed to be the leader for his services for a long, long time. However, Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State remain in the race with Tennessee still sticking around as well. It's a personal hunch, but keep an eye on the Irish in this one, and it's hard to see him choosing Ann Arbor in the end.
Dontavious Jackson Alief Elsik
Where will Dontavious Jackson commit to?
All Crystal Ball Predictions
Main Contenders: Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, Alabama
Our Current Prediction: None
The skinny: For months, we've argued that Michigan should be viewed as serious contenders for the Top100 prospect out of Houston, as a great four-day unofficial visit in the spring has kept the Wolverines in the race heading into an official visit next weekend for the Ohio State game. Michigan sees Jackson as an impact player in year one in Ann Arbor and that's something that could give them an edge down the stretch. Again, Jackson is another to keep an eye on depending on what happens to Charlie Strong at Texas.
