Ryan Mallett come on down!

You've got the next seat on the ride to become an NFL quarterback after starring at Michigan! It's official, Ryan Mallett has committed to play football for the University of Michigan. It was pretty much expected considering he had yet to visit any of the other schools on his finalist list. You can read about it here, here, here, here, here, and pretty much any other site that has deals with Michigan. Mallett had long been rumored to be a Michigan lean considering his week long stay at the Michigan summer camp last year, which is rare of a player of his caliber and after hearing all of the hype starting last year Mallett is definitely someone I wanted to see in Maize and Blue.

Considering Jimmy Clausen's recent commitment to Notre Dame along, this was very big as Mallett can now help recruiting other top flight players, especially Wide Receivers as they want to know they'll have a big time QB coming in with them. Junior Hemingway come on down! Mallett won a long toss competition with a 78 yard throw, that's just ridiculous. Everyone that was worried that we struck out with all the other big names last year and only signed David Cone now have nothing to worry about as we have the next in line to take over after Henne is gone. This recruiting class for Michigan could be one ridiculous class considering how strong the state of Michigan is this year. It's time to reload and get rid of that awful taste in our mouths that was the 2005 season.
