Michigan will fight to regain Cass Tech's five-star recruit William Campbell

By JOSH HELMHOLDT • FREE PRESS SPECIAL WRITER • September 9, 2008

One day after announcing he was abandoning his 14-month commitment to Michigan, Detroit Cass Tech defensive tackle William Campbell attended the Wolverine’s home game against Miami (Ohio) and met with members of the coaching staff.

The 6-5, 315-pound Campbell was Michigan’s highest ranked recruit in their 2009 class - checking in at No. 17 on the Rivals.com top 100 list of prospects - before his de-commitment on Friday. He also had the longest standing commitment in the class, having issued his verbal pledge in June of 2007 after receiving an offer from then-head coach Lloyd Carr at Michigan’s summer football camp.

Five-star defensive tackle William Campbell of Detroit Cass Tech has de-committed from Michigan, leading to questions about the most likely school to get Campbell away from the Wolverines.

I'm sure everyone in here doubting is correct, but if I had been told 3 months ago that we could get the 3 DTs being referenced, I would have liked to have found a way to do that. It's probably not going to work out now, but I wish it could.

I would too, [sarcasm]if only wade had some sort of a track record or something[/sarcasm]

:wink2:

Part of me got excited about Campbell strictly because he decommitted from them. Even if it's only for a week, he still decommitted from them. And that makes me like the guy. For a week or so.

Imagine the meltdown north of Ohio if this came to fruition though.
