just as I talked Tatum up, he made a couple big errors took some really poor angles and missed a tackle which gave up a long TD on the ground for Belleville.

Belleville came out 2nd half fired up, went up 13-7 after scoring two TD's on offense but missed one of their extra point attempts. West Bloomfield responded with a TD pass on offense and made their XP, now it's 14-13 with 8ish mins left in the 4th QTR- West Bloomfield up right now on the favorite- Belleville.

Damon Payne has looked much on the offensive line clearing huge holes in the run game for Belleville. He just might be better suited in college to play OL. Hasn't done anything really on defense at DT despite being left 1-on-1 for entirety of the game.

not that it matters at all really- but 247 just released their final updated rankings- not the Composite- their own internal rankings- and Michigan signee Donovan Edwards has been bumped to 5 STARZ and the #2 RB in the nation by them based largely on his dominance in his state championship playoff run. According to 247's own rankings- there are only two 5 STARZ RB's in this class- the #1 RB is going to Ohio State, and the #2 RB is going to Michigan. Ohio State damn near had both of them. Yikes.

edit: also- kinda find it odd that JJ McCarthy fell in their internal rankings. He only transferred from Illinois to IMG in Florida and took a massive leap up in competition- IMG plays a national schedule and every team they play is basically one of the top 25 ranked HS teams in the nation- and with little to no off-season he jumps right in at IMG and takes them to 8-0, wins a mythical high school national championship, throws for 16 TD's vs 0 INT's, 61+% completion percentage in an offense that was bombs away- and also runs for 2 TD's- all while missing big chunks of the 3rd/4th QTRs of games because IMG was blowing most of the teams it played out- and the kid falls in their rankings. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Don't think that is the case. IF it was- why would they slide JJ McCarthy down in their own rankings?

Edwards was on the verge of 5 STARZ in their own rankings for a long time now. Way before he ever committed to Michigan.

And I always thought he was boderline 5 STARZ. His natural ability as a route runner and pass catcher is something you just do not see out of very many HS RB's- if any. And his burst and top end gear are both at a high level. He really runs away from people and can beat angles- he looks like he's running in the 4.4's easy- and his size/build is very good for the position. He's almost perfect there. And he just went on an epic run in the MHSAA playoffs- just dominating team after team en route to a state title game. The only guys from Michigan with the ball in their hands I can think of- that look as explosive as him with similar size/build- Brian Cole, Kelly Baraka, and Antonio Bass. Bass' knee blew into a billion pieces, Kelly was even faster- but got kicked right out of Michigan as soon as he got there, and Cole switched to defense and then got kicked out of school.

Hey- if Kevin Grady- who was a 5 STARZ playing a bunch of tomato cans in Grand Rapids and probably ran 4.65-4.7 on his best day- then this kid- with his burst/speed- is a 10 STARZ playing some of the best competition the state of MI has to offer.

Michigan adds maybe it's final piece to 2021 class- 4* DT George Rooks (6'4, 260) of New Jersey, who is rated in the 247Composite as the #263 player in the nation overall, the #19 DT, and the #4 player in the state of New Jersey - commits to Michigan. DT was by far the single greatest position of need in their recruiting class- and it's still not solved. They'll have to get another or hit the portal.

Still don't know they completely quit recruiting the #1 player in NJ- 4* DT Tywone Malone- might be some off-field baggage there? Losing Chris Partridge and Anthony Campanile really destroyed their chances. Michigan was the favorite there with those guys. And it still chaps my ass Michigan lost 5* Damon Payne- an in-state DT to Alabama- in large part over the whole BS beef/drama Harbaugh had to go start with Belleville head coach.

They also signed 4* NJ DT George Rooks and flipped a 3* TX DT tackle from Colorado- all in the last week. 

DT was the biggest position of need and they got 3 in the last week. Their new look staff was all about recruiting.

Apparently it’s also given Michigan a huge push in the 2022 5* CB Will Johnson sweepstakes. Michigan was running 3rd there behind Ohio State and USC- looks like they might’ve shot way back up to pole position.

2021 Football Team Rankings (247sports.com)

The current top teams look familiar.  Bama OSU UGA LSU Clemson

The all have played in an NC game, and four have won at least one.  We might add #6 Oregon, Oklahoma is #11.

A&M at 7 has never made a playoff.  Yet.

MSU picks up 3* WR Keon Coleman out of Louisiana.  He's a football and basketball recruit, who was previously committed to Kansas, but opened back up a few months ago, with the issues going on with Kansas' basketball program.

Can't remember the last true two sport kid in the Big Ten.  Was it Matt Trannon?  It's a dying breed.
