TIMES OF INTEREST

All times given in Eastern

10:00 AM WR KARMELLO ENGLISH (AL, 4*). Michigan moved back in late to battle between non-Playoff teams Kentucky and Alabama for a receiver who'd be described as Nico Collins if he wasn't 5'10". Jeremy Gallon then? English decommitted in fall from Auburn but a lot of observers didn't see Michigan coming. Ron Bellamy made this guy a priority, and Michigan picked up some crystal balls yesterday after a) their fallback plan committed to Virginia Tech, and b) Alabama picked up another receiver they coveted equally, but Kentucky is still in it, and things were truly 50-50 this time yesterday. Update: Committed to Michigan.

1:00 PM The Signing Day LivePod, wsg Steve Lorenz

4:00 PM (UPDATED and UPDATED AGAIN) CB/ATH JYAIRE HILL (IL, 4*). A top target for Michigan, this has been a battle all the way with hometown Illinois for a very fun to watch playmaker who led a long moribund program into prominence. Sees Denard as a kindred spirit (!!!). Michigan was left off a final five a few days ago, but recruiting people think that's a head fake, and that Hill's lead recruiter at Illinois becoming the head coach of Purdue finally put Michigan over.

5:00 PM S AARON GATES (GA, 4*). Talented safety that Michigan tried to pry out of a Florida commitment. M put all they could into this one but reporters were told Michigan flat-out couldn't match the NIL offer. Gates is expected to stick with his Florida commitment.

PLAYERS OF INTEREST, NO ANNOUNCEMENT TIME:

NT JAMEL HOWARD (IL, 3*). The other Wisconsin decommit DT from Chicago that Michigan would like to flip. Howard may hold off until February to see if he likes the new Wisconsin coaches, or sign today with the school that appears to be leading, which is Michigan. Obviously, we would like him to sign today.

===========LINE OF MORE THAN PASSING INTEREST===========

TE/DE BRENNAN PARACHECK (MI, 4*). MSU's first commit in a class that still has lots of 4-stars despite being raided by all the other Power 5 schools. There's a tiny bit of smoke that Michigan might be trying to poach Cole Cabana's teammate at the last minute, but that seems unlikely unless he's meant to be a replacement for Acheampong? Anyway, it'd be fun but it's not expected to happen unless so many other wobbly Spartan commits flip that Paracheck needs a parachute. Update: Signed with MSU.

RB/ATH JEREMIYAH LOVE (MO, 4*). A top-100 Notre Dame commit who's signing with Notre Dame but Michigan made a late run. Update: Signed with Notre Dame.

NOT SIGNING TODAY

ATH NYCKOLES HARBOR (DC, 5*). The freakiest freak of freaks, Michigan adores this guy and has been recruiting him hard all cycle, but hometown Maryland believes they're in good shape. South Carolina and LSU have also been after Harbor just as hard. He wants to take a couple more visits and plans to commit on Feb 1.
