Things are definitely a little strange in Ann Arbor these days ...

Will Campbell ... 5-Star recruit from Cass Tech had de-commited from Michigan.

No worries. He just re-commited.

SAN ANTONIO - Detroit Cass Tech defensive tackle William Campbell has been keeping people guessing all week when it comes to his college destination. However, the 6-foot-5, 317-pounder finally made his choice public on national television at the U.S. Army All American Bowl on Saturday. Campbell has decided to play his college football at Michigan and play for Rich Rodriguez.

"I like how they let everybody play," Campbell said of his choice to re-commit to Michigan. "They give you a chance to earn a spot like they did with (fellow defensive lineman) Mike Martin. They let him play as a true freshmen. I just like how they do things and rotate a lot of people."

Campbell re-committed to Michigan over LSU, Miami, Alabama and Florida. He had been committed to Michigan early in the process but decided to de-commit back in September in order to take official visits.

The big man took officials to all five of his favorites before choosing the Wolverines in the end.

Campbell is rated at the No. 1 prospect in Michigan and the nation's No. 4 defensive tackle prospect by Rivals.com. He checks in at No. 25 in the 2009 Rivals100.

That's good. RichRod needs all the good news he can get. It's not all reality-based; he has to create the perception outstanding high school players want to come to Michigan, and he's been losing that war.

Whoda thunk a 10 point win for Big Blue on January 4 would not be a national championship??

I've been really impressed by Beilein. He's bringing some energy to that program that people thought Amaker was going to.

I love UM. Go Canes!!

I hear Miami's players are on the "honor" system. You know--"Yes, Your Honor...No, Your Honor..."

That would been funnier 10 years ago. FSU has taken that title latley.8)

[gjdodger]

LOL. Now, this struck me as funny. The marching band at halftime of the Fiesta Bowl is playing a tribute to Led Zeppelin. They're doing "Stairway to Heaven" now.

[FVD]

I noticed that as well, dodger.

Buckeyes on the way back. Down 2 with 6 minutes left and the ball.
