After a long battle with Washington, Stanford and others, Los Angeles (CA) Loyola four-star cornerback and Top100 prospect David Long committed to Michigan and Jim Harbaugh on Thursday, ending a year-long pursuit of the prospect for the Wolverines.
Long, whose recruitment came down to the Huskies and the Wolverines, was a close race until late, when continued efforts by multiple members of the Wolverines staff paid off down the stretch.
The four-star recently hosted five Michigan coaches for an in-home visit as defensive coordinator Don Brown, head coach Jim Harbaugh, tight ends coach Jay Harbaugh, defensive line coach Greg Mattison and linebackers coach Chris Partridge all traveled to the City of Angels to help seal the deal with the elite prospect.
With Jourdan Lewis, Channing Stribling and Jeremy Clark set to move on after the 2016 season, Long immediately becomes an integral part of Michigan's future at the cornerback position. A track star who posted a 10.67 100 meter dash this season, Long has the quick twitch and speed to become an elite player at the position. He is ranked 65th in the 247Sports Composite rankings and held offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Stanford, Miami (FL), Oklahoma and USC among others.

Los Angeles (Calif.) Loyola four-star cornerback David Long has committed to Michigan.

David Long farthest option turned out to be the best option.
The Los Angeles (Calif.) Loyola star announced his commitment to Michigan over Washington in a Thursday evening press conference. It was decision based in large part on the extreme comfort he began feeling during his one and only trip to Ann Arbor in mid-October.
"It was a great visit, I liked it there a lot," Long said. "The highlight for me had to be meeting Coach Harbaugh. Coach Harbaugh is great and bring so much passion and energy. He's very active and the whole staff has a ton of energy as well. That's the kind of energy you want from a head coach because it affects the entire program."
That first impression of Harbaugh was a game changer. The then-Stanford commit had already established great rapport with his primary contact at Michigan Chris Partridge.
When he instantly forged a similar connection with the headman himself the talented youngster began envision donning the winged helmet more seriously. By the time he met back up with Harbaugh during an in-home visit earlier this week the comfort factor was at an all-time high.
And his family felt the same way.
“My family loved the visit,” said Long. “Harbaugh is my mom’s favorite coach and she knows absolutely nothing about football. She just likes the way he conducts himself.”

Analysis
Long is a two-way player who emerged this past spring as an elite cover corner. Has all the physical tools you could want in a next level DB including size, quickness, top end speed, instincts and toughness. He's a smart player with a high understanding of how to play the game and always competes at a high level. He's smooth in his backpedal, shows explosiveness getting in and out of his breaks and has excellent recovery speed as well-Biggins

Spotlight
In the final analysis, though, those relationships were only part of what established the feeling of home away from home at Michigan. That Long has family in Detroit also helped a great deal.
“I have an aunt and two uncles,” he said detailing his kin in the Motor City.
“I think that’s something that matters especially since there aren’t a lot of guys from California out there you need somebody to go to that you’re really close with and come in contact with. I think that matters having someone close.”
It also matters having a degree from one of the best academic institutions in the country… one that will open doors no matter where his career path takes him.
“In the academic meetings Michigan had just exactly what I was looking for with the architecture, business, and engineering,” Long stated. “Everything was great there.”
“The networking is really good at Michigan, so that is something that is really drawing me in. They have a pretty big fan base in the California area. My counselor, her son goes to Michigan. It’s kind of a small world when you’re a Michigan man."
And now Long will know firsthand what that’s like.

Like @dh86 said enough talk about scrubs.More talk about elite talent
In short, Michigan is getting a player who has idolized Charles Woodson since he was a kid and will want to do what he can to create his own legacy in Ann Arbor. I do think that idea played a major role in his initial interest in the program and the coaching staff was able to sell the rest of the program to both he and his family. This is one of probably five players I would say Michigan has recruited harder than anybody else on their board, so this is a huge, huge addition to their 2016 class.

1 Elite DB down 1 more to go
All of our current intel remains heavy for the Wolverines, as Hill would like to follow in Jourdan Lewis's footsteps in playing cornerback at Michigan and would get a chance to play with his brother for a year in Ann Arbor as well. We also heard similar intel to our Penn State insider Sean Fitz, who opined that Michigan State may not be as big a factor for Hill as originally believed, as his parents would definitely prefer him in Ann Arbor. That being said, the Spartans have a pair of close friends committed in Demetric Vance and Donnie Corley and also have a need for elite cornerbacks in their program. We still believe it will be one of the two.
At the beginning of the recruiting process for the Harbaugh staff, David Long and Lavert Hill were immediately their top two targets at the cornerback position. With one down, they'll be able to focus their efforts on bringing in part two of who they believe will eventually be a shutdown tandem in Ann Arbor.
