As expected, the Wolverines rolled out the red carpet for North Carolina's top prospect, continuing an all-around showcase of athletics, academics and support to both Crouch and his camp.
As we reported heading into the visit, the ball is in Crouch's court as to what position he will play in college. Michigan has given him the green light to play both sides of the ball if he so chooses to and will not risk losing his commitment over forcing his hand as far as positional choice. Crouch is capable of playing either running back or linebacker but has publicly spoken in favor of the defensive side of the ball in recent months.
Going into the visit, I posted that I believe it's currently a Michigan/Tennessee race for Crouch's services. It's my opinion that the Wolverines may have overtaken the Volunteers based on the intel I received post-visit. It's also believed that Crouch may make a decision prior to his senior season. With that in mind, I am still withholding on a 247Sports Crystal Ball as a prospect of Crouch's level will still have all of his major suitors continue to make big runs at him. All things being considered, Michigan continues to do the right things in this recruitment.
