Michigan Thursday: He wasn't In Queen's Gambit

Michigan's defensive coaching staff finally landed a DT, as 4 star George Rooks committed to Michigan yesterday. George has been hoy and cold on the Wolverines for better part of a year and it seems it was Coach Nua who was the glue that kept him open to Ann Arbor.

Many recruiting insiders thought George was heading to BC or Penn State. In fact, a Rivals reporter predicted George would end up in Happy Valley, hours before he committed to Michigan.

George is 6'4 and 260 pounds and rated the 263rd player and 19th DT in the country to 24/7 composite.
