Michigan Recruiting Insider: QB Recruiting Dominoes Falling, Spring Visit Intel

On this week’s edition of The Michigan Recruiting Insider, Sam Webb, Steve Lorenz, and Brice Marich discussed the recent commitment of Salt Lake City (West) dual-threat quarterback Kamden Laopati. Lopati, a former Illinois commit, chose Michigan over Notre Dame and several other programs. The team analyzed his fit within Michigan's offensive strategy and noted the possibility of Michigan taking two quarterbacks in this class, with Las Vegas (Nev.) Arbor View’s Thaddeus Thatcher as a strong candidate. The discussion then shifted to receiver recruiting, highlighting Thatcher's Arbor View teammate, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound pass catcher, who has become a top option following a strong visit. The crew also previewed upcoming visits from several top targets, including Top 247 running back Ty Keys from Poplarville (Miss.), edge prospect Marcus Fakatou from Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon, and cornerback Joshua Dobson from Cornelius (N.C.). Additionally, they provided an in-depth analysis of the visit implications for Buford (Ga.) linebacker Ethan Hauser, who is scheduled to visit Ann Arbor for the second time in two weeks.
