Wednesday Quick Hits: Carvin Johnson Commits to Michigan
Share
Leave a Comment- Carvin Johnson, a defensive back from Louisiana, has committed to Michigan. Johnson is an unknown as far as the recruiting services are concerned, meaning he is a sleeper type of player. His offer list isn’t all that impressive, but Michigan obviously sees something in him. Chances are he will be nothing more than depth at Michigan, but hey, anybody that is going to provide depth in the secondary is welcomed as far as I’m concerned.

- There is still no word on whether or not the Big Ten is going to suspend starting left tackle Mark Ortmann for what appeared to be a punch in the groin during the Illinois game. After Illinois’ Corey Liuget recovered a Tate Forcier fumble at the start of the fourth quarter, Liuget walked into Ortmann, who was on his knees. No camera angle showed exactly what happened, but it looked like Ortmann punched Liuget right in between the legs. Liuget ran off the field awkwardly and was hunched over on the sideline, so something obviously happened. Rich Rodriguez isn’t going to discipline Ortmann because he couldn’t see anything on the replays, but the Big Ten is investigating the incident.
- The Wisconsin game on November 14 will be on the Big Ten Network. It is a noon start here in Michigan, meaning it will kickoff at 11 a.m. in Wisconsin.
- Jordan Kovacs is going to get a scholarship when one opens up at the end of the season.
- I almost wrote an entire post on just how bad the announcing was during the Illinois game, but Maize and Blue Nation beat me to it. It was painful to listen to Mike Patrick and Craig James, and I hope neither goes anywhere near a Michigan game again.
