ITB Extra: On3 Predictions in for Michigan to land two Top 100 recruits
*** I have put in an On3 Prediction for Michigan to land Top 100 Katy (Texas) Jordan wide receiver Andrew Marsh. On3 VP of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong has also put in a pick here. I love where Michigan stands coming out of the visit and feel very optimistic here. Remember, Marsh canceled his Oklahoma visit in favor of Michigan. Oklahoma was once considered the leader, but it appears Marsh and the Sooners are going in a different direction. Marsh has a really special bond with wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy, who was able to get him on campus five times throughout the process. Marsh originally planned to make a decision in November, but I think it could be sooner.
*** Bellamy has also done a fantastic job with Marsh’s mother, Eleanor. I thought this quote from our recent interview was telling: “I call him Uncle Ron. Not just coach. He’s Uncle Ron. To me, he’s like a big brother that I’m entrusting my son to. Getting back around him is always good. The jewels that he shares with Andrew are really good. Sometimes, it’s not just football. It’s just general conversations.” Bellamy has knocked it out of the park here. The dude grinds on the trail and deserves this big win.
*** I have also logged an On3 Prediction in favor of Michigan to land Top 100 Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh tight end Andrew Olesh. Wiltfong put in a pick here as well. Olesh was considered a Penn State lean for the majority of the recruiting cycle. However, the Nittany Lions didn’t seem super optimistic coming out of his trip to Happy Valley last month. Michigan had some momentum behind the scenes this month, and both Wiltfong and I hinted that the Wolverines may have the edge here. I think Michigan has done enough to win this recruitment, and this weekend’s OV really moved the needle.
*** Michigan’s tight end production helped move the needle as did his relationship with new tight ends coach Steve Casula. Here is what Olesh told me in our recent conversation: “Coach Casula isn’t just a football guy. He’s always contacting me and asking me how my family is doing. He’s a family guy. We can connect on levels above football. But obviously, he’s a great football coach and knows what he’s doing… They just had a guy (AJ Barner) taken in the fourth round. They are shooting guys to the draft. Colston (Loveland) is obviously coming up. I’m sure they have a couple of more guys coming through. Their production has been very good the past couple of years.”
