Cincinnati (Ohio) Wyoming defensive lineman Jibreel Black made an official visit to Michigan this weekend and before leaving Ann Arbor had committed to the Wolverines.
Black first committed to Indiana, then switched his commitment to Cincinnati. He has changed his mind again and now says he will play for Rich Rodriguez.
Black becomes the eleventh player from the state of Ohio to commit to Michigan. None of the 11 were offered a scholarship by the Buckeyes.
The argument could be made that Rodriguez is recruiting a different type prospect than Tressel to specifically fit his UM system.
Or perhaps one could say that Rodriguez is hoping the influx of Ohioans headed to Ann Arbor will help reverse the Buckeyes' domination in the rivalry between the two schools.
What will be interesting to see is how many, if any of the 11 Ohioans headed north will have a big impact on the Michigan program. Time will tell if Tressel and the Bucks missed out on anyone or not.
