That obviously has not turned out to be true for the prospect ranked #163 in the composite, who has been at the top of Michigan’s OL board for some time. 247’s Steve Wiltfong spoke with Keegan’s father and got some information about what he likes about each of his three finalists, and in that article Keegan’s father added that he didn’t expect any coaches to be visiting their house this week. Keegan officially visited Michigan in October and wrapped his officials with a trip to Happy Valley last weekend, but Penn State won’t necessarily have the last word here Lorenz reports that Michigan coaches Ed Warinner and Sherrone Moore visited Keegan’s home Tuesday night. The nearest decision, though, is that of IL OL Trevor Keegan, who will announce whether he has chosen Michigan, Georgia, or Penn State on Friday at 7:30. The Wolverine’s Chris Balas reports that some people they’d spoken with who assumed he was going to Michigan now think he’ll end up at Ohio State. This seems encouraging for someone who would want to pull a prospect version of the Colts leaving Baltimore, but it’s not safe to assume anything considering the report from Sam Webb that the loss to Ohio State impacted his thinking. He’s set to announce his school of choice via twitter and then fax in his LOI on December 19th. OH DE and Michigan’s top remaining target Zach Harrison has a decision date. With Hill's decision horizon apparently extended two months, that makes some sense. Webb went on to say that he feels Hill isn’t done grappling with whatever might have shifted his hierarchy of decision factors when a poster on their message board asked if this wasn’t over, Webb responded with a clip from Rocky V of Mickey as a Force ghost or something that ends with Rocky yelling ‘Yo, Tommy! I didn’t hear no bell.” Now Lorenz checks in with a notes post in which he says he was also able to confirm that there's some optimism on Michigan's end that this recruitment may not be over. The family said they liked that Michigan was about winning all areas of life and not just winning at any cost, and Webb points out that Alabama was Alabama when Hill committed to Michigan, which was coming off a loss to Notre Dame that had people down for weeks. The main point of Webb’s post centers around a quote from Hill’s father Webb obtained when he visited the family this fall. The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb reiterated that Michigan’s staff found out when the public did and, though they wanted him to sign during the early signing period and he had apparently let them know he wanted to wait until February, there were no red flags presaging a decomitment. Lorenz says that the Alabama staff felt better about flipping FL S and current Ohio State commit Jordan Battle and thought that, if anything, they might get an unofficial visit from Hill. Alabama visited Hill’s home the next day, but no crystal balls were flipped. Michigan visited Hill at home last Wednesday. According to 247’s Steve Lorenz, not only was Michigan’s staff caught off guard, Alabama’s staff was surprised to learn of the flip. If you were surprised, you weren’t alone. Judging by the texts I got and twitter and message boards and every other available piece of evidence, this went over poorly. That same night, OK S Daxton Hill dropped the Thanos Snap of recruit tweets, flipping his seemingly rock-solid commitment from Michigan to Alabama. Not only did Michigan hockey lose to Minnesota at home in a game they desperately needed to get points out of, but they lost on an even-strength goal with under two minutes to play. Yesterday I was driving home and a deer leapt a gosh dang guard rail and bounded across the road and I hadn’t been that surprised since, well, you know.
