Recruiting Update: March 11, 2013

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2014
Immokalee (FL) Immokalee defensive end Jimmy Bayes was offered by Michigan.  Bayes is a 6'4", 185-pounder who plays wide receiver on offense and could end up on either side of the ball in college.  He committed to South Florida at the end of January, but he has offers from Connecticut, Missouri, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and West Virginia, and he appears to be open to other schools.  Michigan hasn't pursued someone from Immokalee since defensive end John Paul in the 2006 class, but it's a heavily recruited school that has produced guys like Mackensie Alexander (Clemson), Aaron Henry (Wisconsin), Brian Rolle (Ohio State), and Javarris James (Miami).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2015
Miami (FL) Southridge tight end Devonaire Clarington was offered by Michigan.  Clarington is a 6'5", 235 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, and Miami, among others.  As a sophomore in 2012, he had 18 catches for 251 yards and 1 touchdown, and he claims a 4.65 forty time.

    When the prior (RichRod) regime is considered, I find that interesting in at least two ways:

    1. UMich is still recruiting rural southern Florida. What would Kurt Wermers think? What _will_ the traditionalists think?

    2. The jackals would be out in full force ("HE'S TOO SMALL FOR THE BIG TEN!!!") if RichRod were still coaching. They still might make an appearance.

    It does seem a little crazy. He looks like a skinny kid who will top out at 215# or so. There are always exceptions, though.

    1. 1. Hoke is recruiting much less so in Florida than Rodriguez did.

      2. Some sites list Bayes as being heavier than 185 already (I've seen 190). Regardless, he's still long and lean but has a good build to add weight. I don't think he'll ever be a hulking 285-pounder, but he could be a weakside end with a year or two in the weight room. If you look back at Frank Clark's senior film, I think he was about 200-205 lbs. Last year he was 260+ and I've heard that he's now 280, but I find that a little hard to believe.
