The Latest On Michigan Wolverines Recruiting

... this one. Land of 10 reported early last week Martin’s intentions to visit Ann Arbor over the weekend, which happened. And we followed that up with the visit, likely, wrapping things up for the Wolverines to land his services. After speaking with multiple sources over the last two days, Martin sounds like he is locked in to this class. Crazier things have happened, but the multiple sources have all been trusted on this recruitment. Something could surface involving Martin’s decision as soon as Monday night — and if it does we fully expect it to be a good decision from Michigan’s point of view. At one point, Michigan let Martin walk when it appeared Collins’ commitment was imminent. But when Collins began to waver, the Wolverines focused on Martin. Now, after a failed official visit at Georgia, Collins could be as locked in as Martin is. And Land of 10 is under the impression from conversations with multiple people that Michigan is fully on board to take both receivers. If the Wolverines do in fact land both, it will be a 5-man deep wide receiver class for Michigan. And could be one of the best ever for the Wolverines. Michigan adds ...

Why 4-star Clay-chalkville Wr Nico Collins Chose Michigan Over Georgia, Alabama

... and took his official visit to Michigan for its game against Maryland. He got to see former Clay-Chalkville teammate Tyrrell Pigrome playing quarterback for the visiting Terrapins, but that's when he felt Michigan was the place for him. "It was very amazing," Collins said. "There were 110,000 fans or something like that. They were live for all four quarters. When I walked in, I could see myself there. Going out under the tunnel under the 'Go Blue' sign, I could hear the fans yelling, 'Nico, Nico!'. "That right there really meant a lot. That showed me they really care about players (yelling Nico). I'm from all the way down south, and they knew about me. That meant a lot.". Collins said that Michigan sees him as that X-receiver on the outside and will open up the offense to more of a spread attack. He's one of several talented receivers, joining Donovan Peoples-Jones, Tarik Black and Oliver Martin in this class. Collins said Georgia was second in his recruitment, followed by Alabama and then LSU. His father's side of the family lives in Michigan, so the school will be a home away from home. "My dad was a big fan and all this is ...

Lsu's Dameyune Craig To Visit Alabama's Nico Collins, Tank Jenkins Friday

... and Georgia would round out his top four, along with LSU, and there are some interesting dynamics to watch with each program in the running. Georgia already holds commitments from four wide receivers, five if you include Deangelo Gibbs in the group, so the Bulldogs would not appear to be in a strong position based on numbers. Alabama and LSU are recruiting two of the same guys in Amite's Devonta Smith and Collins, and one would think they are not heading to the same school, especially when those two schools already have solid receiver classes. Smith is taking his official visit to LSU this weekend, before a scheduled visit to Alabama on January 20 and Miami on January 27. Collins' official visit to Alabama is set for January 21. As for Jenkins, LSU extended him an offer in February of 2016, and a visit here shows that LSU intends to be a contender for his services. Jenkins already bolsters an impressive offer list, ...

Jim Harbaugh, Kirby Smart Make Final Pitches For 4-star Clay-chalkville Receiver Nico Collins

... school on Thursday before heading over to his house. "We just got to hang out a little bit and just talked since it was the last time we got to do so before Signing Day," said Collins, a four-star recruit. "He told me they use a lot of spread next year and he's saying I can be that X-position (outside receiver) and be a main factor.". Smart made his in-home visit to the Collins family on Wednesday. Collins will make his final official visit this weekend to Georgia before making his decision. "It went pretty good," Collins said. "We hung out a little bit, ate, watched TV. Just hanging out. They need that 6-foot-5 receiver. They have a lot of shifty, slot receivers, but need a big guy.". Collins said he's seen most of what he needs to see at Georgia, but is looking forward to his official visit. "I've been there multiple times," Collins said. "It's my official, so it's a chance to hang out one more time and see if it's the right place for me the next few years.". Collins also has LSU and Alabama in his final four, but in no order. He took an official visit to ...

Aubrey Solomon, Nico Collins Among Players Michigan Hopes To Land On Signing Day

... in the recruiting sea. And two of the biggest options left on the board are five-star defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon and four-star receiver Nico Collins. Michigan will wait on decisions from at least five players today: three-star offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (9:30 a.m.), Solomon (9:45 a.m.), Collins (2:30 p.m.), five-star linebacker Willie Gay (10 a.m.) and four-star defensive lineman Jay Tufele (11:30 a.m.). But Solomon and Collins appear to be the two players Michigan has the best shot at. And both would be big-time additions to what's already an impressive class. Michigan is currently in a race with both Alabama and Georgia for each player. And, in each instance, the Wolverines are viewed as leaders via 247 sports' ever-popular "Crystal Ball" projection chart. Solomon would give Michigan a second five-star prospect in the class and it would ...

Tackling The Biggest Questions For National Signing Day

... is down to Ole Miss and UGA. He is currently committed to the Rebels. (Larrell Murchison / Special to Dawg Nation). It doesn’t seem logical he could choose the Rebels given it is a 10-hour road trip from his home. Athens is just a five-hour trek away and it appears the programs are recruiting in opposite directions. UGA is also a good fit for his intended communications major. The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder also just committed to Ole Miss earlier this month. The dots all seem to connect for Georgia. But there’s a question about how much he’s wanted in Athens? Is he a Plan B option in those class with just those three spots left. Murchison told me something very interesting about that over the weekend. He indicated the Georgia staff has led him to believe he is a “take” under any circumstances. The 3-star JUCO defensive tackle might even be a take for Georgia as a fourth member of the class even if all the ideal targets say yes. Is there a worst-case scenario. Let’s run it down: Bryant chooses to catch more fish at Auburn. Collins opts to chill and catch fades at Michigan. Murchison sticks with Ole Miss. Speed finds a late connection with Oregon. Williams keeps his ...
