While were talking about recievers I was looking at 5 star Shaquelle Evans and it said he was taking a few trips to midwest schools. The only midwest schools that have offered him are notre dame and UM.. Anyone with rivals access know if it says that he is planning on taking a visit?

He plans to visit ND, OSU, Michigan, LSU, and Tennessee.

He's visiting ND during the Michigan game, ironically. If UM can impress him there and then impress him on an official visit, I like their chances.

By the sounds of it, Peace isn't going to remain a 3 star for long. Great pickup Coach Rod!

South Grand Prairie (Texas) wide receiver Dewayne Peace had plenty of schools watching him before the summer, but his performance at several camps this summer – including Michigan's – led to the interest that earned him a coveted U-M offer. His commitment Tuesday ended what seemed primed to become a heated battle.

Peace impressed with his routes, quickness and hands at the Texas A&M camp in early June, moving up on the A&M wish list. That followed a showing at the Fort Worth (Texas) NIKE camp in which he was named MVP after showing well against a solid group of defensive backs in late April.

document.write(insertImage('/IMAGES/PROSPECT/PHOTO/DEWAYNEPEACEAC200.JPG', '', 0, 267, 200, 1, '', 'Rivals.com', 1214426409000, '', 1014, 'Align=Left'));At Michigan, coaches on both sides of the ball battled for his services when he proved he could make plays at corner as well as receiver. Peace later insisted he was open to playing on either side of the ball, committing to U-M as an athlete.

"He was the MVP at Fort Worth Nike for a reason," said Rivals.com analyst Barton Simmons. "I think he's going to be a really good player at Michigan. He was a little under the radar, but his performance there and at some of the other camps really showed his upside."

Peace was reportedly one of the top receivers at the Kansas camp in mid-June, toasting defensive backs in one-on-one drills. Simmons expressed little surprise, noting Peace shined against the defensive backs at the Fort Worth Nike camp, a group among the best on the camp circuit.

"He really set himself apart against those guys. Nobody could lock him down one on one," Simmons recalled. That included three-star standout Marcus Trice, whose offer list includes Wisconsin and Iowa, among others. "He made him look silly a couple of times," Simmons said.

"He's got really good quickness at the line of scrimmage and gets off the line really well. He can get upfield, he runs really good routes and I like his ability after the catch. He is a versatile wide receiver that will do a lot of damage in Rich Rodriguez's system out of the slot. They'll want to get the ball in his hands a lot of different ways."

That's assuming he stays on offense. Peace notched 285 yards receiving last year, though he averaged 19 yards a catch, and scored three touchdowns, but looks to be more involved in the offense as a senior. Judging by his summer, his coaches will likely give him every opportunity.

"It's just Michigan, Peace said. "What can I say. It's the most winning program in the country and it's best fit for me."

Peace doesn't have a great 40 time, but his short shuttle [ability to change direction quickly] of 3.9 is at the fastest end of NFL receivers. He's also a very good route runner. In short, he plays faster than his track times. When in a competitive situation, camps, etc., Peace apparently would always show up as one of the best on the field. This might be one of those under-the-radar guys you like to find. Also, a pretty decent DB.

Also, Kansas and Texas A&M were his next best offers, so he definitely chose the best school out of his options. Rich Rodriguez may be reaching for outside guys in this class if he knows the blue-chippers aren't going to sign. If he offered Peace that most likely means Bryce Mcneal will be our only four-star wideout in this class.

Nobody has enough tape on this guy to get a good read, but from what I see he is above average. Pretty athletic, he's gonna go for most balls and come down with them. Doesn't have blazing speed, but he isn't exactly a slow wideout. Passes the "eye test", looks like an athlete, hopefully he will fill out a little more and get faster... not a bad pickup.
