Michigan Recruiting Weekend Roundup

Joe Laing — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:51:59 +0000

The weekend was just another building block for Urban Meyer. There were 50+ recruits in town that got to see a great environment, the coaches and players at an all time high in terms of excitement, and how close knit the team is. In addition all the coaches and players showing respect for the seniors that will be leaving and the field littered with underclassmen making impacts all over the field. So lets just say that all recruits were excited, they had a great time, enjoyed the game atmosphere, got to see Urban Meyer’s championship rings, and loved how everyone felt like it was a family atmosphere.

Now that we got that out of the way way we can talk about the information that really matters:

The Glenville 3 (’13 Chris Worley, ’14 Marshon Lattimore and Marcelys Jones) were in town and will all be Bucks when the time is

Ohio State Recruiting Update: Darron Lee Live

When I headed out on Friday night to check out some high school football action in central Ohio, I didn’t know what a treat I was in for.

A few hours and 6 touchdowns later and it was easy to conclude that Ohio State’s 13th commitment is another highly underrated 3-star steal for the Buckeyes.

I am, of course, talking about New Albany athlete Darron Lee, who I went to see play this past Friday against Olentangy Orange.

When Lee committed at the end of June the speculation was that he showed at camp that he could play LB at the next level.

Most people think that is where he was offered at and where he committed to play in Columbus.

Well, after watching him leading the New Albany offense live at QB, I am not ready to pigeon hole him into any one position just yet.

Darron Lee Is A Buckeye!!

Let’s face it- you can be born a Buckeye, but you have to earn the privileged of playing for The Buckeyes. This past weekend, New Albany defensive back Darron Lee did just that.

A current three star athlete in most of the recruiting services, the coaching staff was aware of Mr. Lee’s skill set for quite some time… growing up in Central Ohio will certainly help with that. However, in spite of the relationship he had with the coaches, Daron wanted to showcase his abilities, so he took his talents to this past weekend’s camp in Columbus and there earned his scholarship offer, according to the conversation he had with the staff today. He immediately accepted.

His Ohio State offer may have seemed late in coming, given that he already held similar offers from Arizona State, Boston College, Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Kent State, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Minnesota, Purdue, … [Read More]
