Recruiting: Big names expected to visit for BBQ

In a tradition started by former Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez -- one of his few changes that remains in the program today -- the Wolverines will host their annual BBQ at the Big House recruiting event Sunday.

In past years, U-M has reeled in a number of commitments from the event, and this year could be no exception.

Several of U-M's top targets, including Egg Harbor City (N.J.) Cedar Creek wide receiver Ahmir Mitchell, will be on campus. Mitchell has mentioned a timeline in which he would make his college choice before the end of the summer, and this visit -- his second to Ann Arbor in two weeks -- could put U-M in the driver's seat.
