"@Wilton Speight Just got off the phone with @TomLuginbill, Feel honored to be offered a spot in the Under Armour All American Game! #cantwait #goblue"

The annual Michigan QB All American invite...healthy stuff for the program

Won't hurt when he is doing his own recruiting :).

But I thought he was a terrible prospect and wouldn't be highly ranked, or coveted.  At least that's what they idiots to the south have been claiming.  What do they have to say now?

Congrats Wilton.  Should make recruiting a whole lot easier for him now.

My thoughts exactly....

So I'm assuming he won't still be unranked when the next rankings come out?

So is Wilton getting the famed Michigan bump?

Don't worry, they will come up with something quick.

He ends up a top 7 QB, and a top 150 player. Congrats Speight! Go Blue!

We went from settling for low end FL prospects and loosing the instate recruiting battle to every one of our QB commits being a UA or Army All American.

Not to say this isn't the expectation but man it shows how low we fell....can we expect our recruiting to get better when we actually start winning big games?

Michigan is spewing with upside!

Think the message is, "own your own backyard, steal covertly in your neighbor's backyard and lastly, target some studs outside your region."

Wow. This kid came from out of nowhere and is looking really good!

+1.  Well put sir.

"His arm is every bit as strong as [Pittsburgh Steelers Pro-Bowler] Ben Roethlisberger, and I've worked with Ben," Clarkson said. "He's not Cam Newton-strong, but he's plenty strong. There's not a throw he can't make, his deep ball can probably go 75-80 yards with just the snap of his wrist. He spins the ball very well."

Now all we need is the UAAA receivers to start following them!

This is great news for this young man and Michigan.

AWESOME...congrats to Wilton & hope he continues to push the recruiting game, lol.

Has ESPN produced a top 100 list yet?

That says far more to me then under armour or fan vote of confidence.  When looking outside to hear other coaches takes on recruits means more to me...fan vote of confidence cause the coaches offered is great but for under the radar prospects I listen to talent evaluators to get a guage on them....

Speight is proving wrong the doubters, me being one of them.

Watch his HS video, yes I did it couldn't help myself, who cares what he is ranked. The kid can play.
