I’m not quite sure if it’s a good sign, necessarily, but 2013 A/M John Crawley picked Johns Hopkins over Michigan. That certainly means the Wolverines are in the mix for top talent, even if they aren’t necessarily landing them at this point. As far as I know, JP and crew don’t have any public 2013 commits.
For those who are interested in the numbers behind the recruiting game, and how it translates to success on the field, mgoblog commenter brooks had an excellent series a while back (I kept holding off on linking it in case there were more parts on the way, but it seems like he’s done).
Detroit has their first 2012 commitment, in Rockford goalie Connor Flynn. Profile post forthcoming.
