Joshua Garnett, a highly rated offensive guard out of Puyallup, WA, is set to announce where he will be playing college football tomorrow at approximately 6:00 est. / 3:00 pst. He has said himself that it is between Stanford and Michigan. Many recruiting analysts are saying Stanford, while many analysts that deal mostly with Michigan say he is going to commit to Michigan. Hopefully by tomorrow night, we will know Garnett is going to Michigan, but if he decides to stay out west and attend Stanford, I wish him well. Which ever school he goes to, there is no doubt in my mind that he is going to be a good one.
Below are the recruiting rankings on Garnett, updated through yesterday (January 24, 2012).
Scout: 5*, #3 OG, #42 Overall
Rivals: 4*, #2 OG, #33 Overall
ESPN: 4*, 82 - Scouts Grade, #3 OG, #44 Overall
247: 4*, 96 - 247 Rating #8 OG, #68 Overall
UPDATE: Garnett chose the Stanford Cardinal yesterday at a press conference at his school. While the loss of Garnett to Stanford hurts, I want to wish him good luck in football and in life. He seems like a good kid that will become a great college player and biochemist (if I remember correctly, that is what he said he wanted to study in school).
Michigan is still in good position for Jordan Diamond and Alex Kozan. Both are also highly rated offensive lineman and we could be hearing Kozan's decision as soon as this weekend. Diamond is choosing his college next Friday, February 3. Again, good luck to Garnett, but it's time to move on to other players.
Other players of note that have Michigan in their top two, or so, are Armani Reeves and Sam Grant. Armani Reeves is a cornerback out of Massachusetts and has Michigan and Ohio State in his final two. Sam Grant is from Ohio and goes to the same school as commit Kyle Kalis. Grant has Michigan and Oklahoma in his final two. As with Kozan, we could hear from these two fairly soon.
