Michigan hosted multiple flip targets this weekend. There’s good news and bad news based on the buzz coming out of the weekend. Let’s start with the good.
Belleville (Mich.) High defensive back Elijah Dotson is said to have really enjoyed his visit according to sources. The in-state standout has really responded well to Michigan turning up the heat in his recruitment lately. I know it’s easy for people to make the assumption that this started because Dotson is teammates with five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood. But the Wolverines would have needed to recruit Dotson anyway. He’s a great prospect in their backyard. It doesn’t make sense to let him go to Pitt without a fight.
Now for the bad news. Michigan had been trending with Indiana defensive end commit Triston Abram. The team has worked hard to flip him away from coach Curt Cignett’s group but I’m told that as the Hoosiers keep winning that gets tougher. There seems to be a bright future in Bloomington and kids want to be part of that. Especially ones that bought in early to what Cignetti and his staff have been selling.
Things can always change but I’d expect Abram to stick with his Indiana pledge.
