Michigan's #1 Recruiter: Corey Malone-Hatcher?

The Wolverines top recruiter for the incoming class may very well be a player and not a member of the coaching staff. Say what?

Michigan commit Corey Malone-Hatcher has been pushing for 2017 four-star wide receiver Tarik Black (CT) to commit to the Wolverines. Black is one of Michigan's top targets. On Tuesday, Hatcher debuted a highlight reel of Black as well as the hashtag #TBtoAA, which has been retweeted by several current Michigan players as well as commits.

Black is the top-ranked player in Connecticut. Since July, Hatcher has been trying to recruit Cass Tech safety Jaylen Kelly-Powell as well, with a pinned tweet on his profile.

Michigan Commit Kurt Taylor to Take Official This Weekend
