Michigan Football Recruiting: Tracking The Wolverines Until Signing Day 2012

All of the major scouting services regard Garnett as a high four-star type prospect. He’s absolutely one of the ten best offensive line recruits in the country. Perhaps his biggest strength is his lack of a glaring weakness. Garnett isn’t particularly amazing at any one element, but does seem to do everything well. I also like that he doesn’t play down to his competition. Garnett plays with good balance, moves well laterally, and bends at the knees and not the waist.

After the Under Armour game, Garnett spoke with SB Naton about what he wants in a school.

Armani Reeves is one of the better cornerback recruits in the 2012 cycle. Out of West Roxbury (Ma.) Catholic Memorial High School, Reeves was once a Penn State commitment. The sex abuse scandal changed that, and Reeves decommitted, opening things back up. Reeves holds offers from Arizona, Arkansas, Boston College, Connecticut, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, North Carolina, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Stanford, Utah, Virginia and Wake Forest. But he seems to be favoring Michigan and Ohio State.

And the Wolverines seem to be of particular interest to the 5’10”, 185-pound cornerback, as SB Nation Detroit reports:

Yuri Wright is one of the top defensive back prospects in the country. Most recruiting services rate him four-stars. Out of New Jersey’s Don Bosco Prep, he’s received offers from most of the top BCS schools in the country. And it’s easy to see why. Wright has elite size at 6’2” and 180 pounds, can press receivers, and drives on the ball well. Yet he is still able to turn and run.

So it was curious, then, that Wright canceled his upcoming visit to Michigan. Michigan insiders say that the Wolverines have stopped recruiting Wright altogether.

Entering all-star season, let’s take a look at the best recruiting classes in college football.

It’s very difficult to declare a winner so far between Texas and Alabama. While other schools have a shot at finishing with the top class, Texas and Alabama are far and away the top two at the moment.
