Tuesday Quick Hits: Rashad Knight Commits to Rutgers
Share
Leave a Comment- Florida cornerback Rashad Knight has committed to Rutgers over Michigan. Michigan looked to be in pretty good shape with Knight for some time, but after his visit to Rutgers that changed. His mom apparently accompanied him on the visit to Rutgers and was blown away. I believe only his dad went with him to Michigan, and based on a quote like this, it looks like that could have been the difference in his recruitment.
“I really like what they’re doing there and how they do things,” Knight said about Rutgers. “I like coach Pinkham and coach Schiano a lot. In fact, coach Schiano reminds me a lot of my mom.”
Knight is the first of a few uncommitted players that Michigan is watching closely to announce his decision. Michigan is now waiting on Sean Parker and Demar Dorsey, two more defensive backs who are at the center of quite a few rumors. Some of them say that Parker is for sure going to Michigan, whereas others suggest that he is going to end up at Washington, which just recently entered the picture. For Dorsey, the rumors are just as vast and have him signing with a bunch of different schools. Many rumors suggest he will land at Florida State, but it seems like just as many have him going to USC, Michigan, or even Florida, which just dropped him recently. Tomorrow is definitely going to be interesting, starting with Sean Parker’s announcement on ESPNU at 10 a.m. ET.
- The one player already committed to Michigan worth keeping an eye on is Terry Talbott, who is unsure of whether he should go to U-M with his brother or go to North Carolina instead.
- ESPN’s Tom Luginbill likes Michigan’s recruiting class and what Rich Rodriguez is doing with the program.
- Jerry Dunn has returned to the Michigan basketball team, but not as an assistant coach.
- Mary Sue Coleman is not a candidate to be the next president of the NCAA.
