He plays at Southeastern, not Ren, and he's going to Michigan.

If he does, I can't wait for your fanbase's reaction seeing as they trashed him all through the process until now with the "he'd never make it through camp barwis (!!!!!!!11!!!1!!)" crap.

And why does OSU have his last visit?

Hankins was suppose to visit OSU this weekend.

Michigan, offered him and asked him to come this weekend and he rescheduled the OSU visit for next weekend.

IMO there is a good possibilty that he commits to Michigan this weekend and doesn't even take the OSU visit.

Yeah and there's just as good a possibility he doesn't. What's your point? It's all conjecture right now. I'm sure um is going to put the full court press on as they are desperate for bodies at this point since rr spent so much time loading up on slot dots and receivers. But, tOSU has been on him for a long time. Don't sleep on UF either.

If he has all the offers he says he does, this will be like Barksdale imo. His leader changes after every visit...whoever gets the last visit wins.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was just talking with an UVA friend the other day and he was liking his chances after the visit... wondering how he feels now.

Several Florida recruiting targets impressed with their weekend at The Swamp
By Chris Hays
1:30 a.m. EST, December 1, 2009

...
Johnathon Hankins 6-3, 315, DL, Detroit, Mich., Southeastern
Hankins visited Virginia two weeks ago and then Florida this past weekend. He told ESPN.com's Bill Kurelic: "It went good. The vibe was good. The players were good. The redshirt freshmen told me what goes on. The rest of the players were good to me too."

When asked to compare his Florida visit with his trip to Virginia, Hankins said, "(Florida) was better than Virginia. The weather was good and the (Florida-Florida State) game was great." Hankins is also considering Ohio State and Michigan.

I also think this one works out in OSU's favor. OSU has been in it since the beginning of the recruiting process. Even if he leaves Ann Arbor w/ scUM as his leader, he wants to see what OSU has to offer. To be on the verge of committing to a school and then making a decision a go to another school that just came through w/ an offer last week just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Especially w/o taking a visit to the school that has been a top his list for months up until last weekend. I don't see things going down like that. The last visit is the best place to be when a kid has been wavering back and forth on who his leader is. I think Tressel closes this deal on the 12th w/ a few other big names in town that weekend.

oh, almost forgot, Tressel can't close.

Sam Webb: Recruiting
U-M will have to trump Florida for Southeastern's Johnathan Hankins

It has been whirlwind week for Detroit Southeastern defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins. After nearly reaching a decision during his official visit to Florida last weekend, he received the scholarship offer that he had begun believing would never come.

"As soon as I got back from my visit to Florida I talked to (Michigan assistant) Coach (Tony) Dews and he told me that I had a scholarship," Hankins said. "The whole (Michigan) defensive staff came to the school (Monday). They said it was a long process for them to offer me because they had to see what they had and who was coming back. I'm in (demand) because of the position I play."

The Wolverines had fallen precipitously down and eventually off Hankins' list in the prior months. The decline actually began after his participation in their annual summer camp.

"I thought I did good," said Hankins of his camp showing. "They tested me and tried me and I didn't get (a scholarship offer). I guess they wanted to evaluate my senior season and see how that went."

That proved to be a tough pill for Hankins and his family to swallow, especially after Ohio State, Florida and Oklahoma all beckoned in the fall.

"I honestly think Michigan State and Michigan are missing out on one of the best defensive players in the state of Michigan," the youngster's father lamented. "And why they didn't come onboard earlier his junior year or senior year, I don't have a clue. I think it is just their loss if he goes somewhere else."

According to Scout.com Midwest regional manager Allen Trieu, the reason for reticence on the part of in-state programs is easily explained. It had nothing to do with questions about Hankins' talent. Instead, they wanted more complete answers to the prevalent questions about his conditioning and motor.

"At the Sound Mind/Sound Body camp (at Wayne State in June), I really only saw him take one rep and he won it easily," Trieu recalled. "After that, he seemed bored because of the lack of competition. Then at the Michigan camp he looked good, but only in half the reps. So while we saw the talent, we didn't get enough of a sample size to see what he could do. This season, however, he played both ways for entire games and looked good in the fourth quarter. That has raised his stock considerably."

That improved stamina was largely due to Hankins' dedication to trimming down for his final year as a prep.

"My junior year I was 330 and this year I played at 305 or 300," Hankins said. "This season I really worked on pass rush and I led the defensive lineman sacks with 17, but I personally think my best season was my junior year."

I mean, wow, John seems like a great kid with some immense potential. Simon, Goebel, Floyd AND Hankins (if we can get these 2 this year)... are you serious? When was the last time we had a defensive tackle rotation that deep?! Then the DEs coming in the future, added to Williams, Wells, Fellows... :yow2::yow2:

The future for this defense is very bright for sure. The level of talent that is getting stockpiled is just insane.
