Incoming: Taylor Lewan, Outgoing: Jordan Barnes

As has been reported by a number of blogs, Arizona OL Taylor Lewan (6-7, 272) is the latest verbal commitment for the 2009 class. He's a 4-star recruit from Scottsdale. He is the 2nd OL for the 09 class, and a good one at that.

Rivals has him ranked at 192 overall player in the country, and the #17 offensive tackle.

The decision came just after he returned home after his second official visit to Ann Arbor just this past weekend. His top two schools were Michigan and Minnesota. Obviously, he's just too damn tired of all of that wonderful weather in the southwest. Hey, if a guy likes Ann Arbor in the depths of December...you know he's committed!

The 09 board stands at 21 members, and can be seen in the center column of this page. -->

In other recruiting news, 2009 recruit and former verbal commit LB Jordan Barnes has decommitted from the team. He is a 3-star recruit from Ft. Wayne, IN.

And in much more scary news, 09 verbals Pearlie Graves and Shavodrick Beaver could be on the outs. According to mgoblog, Graves has reopened his recruitment, and will make his decision on signing day. And, Beaver posted something to his myspace page to the effect of "feeling bad about Michigan". Take from that what you will. His myspace page also reads: Those Who Stay Will Be Champions.

More to come on this soon.
