Steve Wiltfong with a great writeup for 247sports on the top 2014 midwest kids by state.

The Midwests Top Juniors Expected to Be Nationally Recruited

Who are the future blue-chippers in the Midwest? Several prospects have already emerged including Detroit (Mich.) Loyolas Malik McDowell.

According to the article, Steve thinks Michigan is:
The team to beat for CB Parrker Westphal (IL), DB Damon Webb (MI), LB Michael Ferns.. obviously (OH), WR Derek Kief (OH)
In the top group for DE Malik McDowell (MI - along with ND)
In consideration for TE Nic Weishar (IL), ATH Marshon Lattimore (OH), LB Dante Booker (OH)
Surprised he didn't put us in consideration for Jamarco Jones, as many think that we have as good a shot as anyone. OL commit Denzel Ward was included in the "other players to watch" category, as is DE Lawrence Marshall.

Looking at that list, there's McDowell and Garrett, and then everyone else.

That's my understanding as well. One good season in 20 and everyone is the domers to lose

Kief is the best WR in Ohio next year. Hate to say it but I think UM lands him.

A number of them did say that ND was their favorite or team to beat, but it'll be interesting to see what their opinion is after the NCG.

Plus if we were in the NCG I'm sure that the comments would reflect that as well.

Ok Michigan fans, hands off lattimore! And we will keep our mits off of Webb, deal? The rest is fair game! Thanks for posting ducks, after ND gets the beat down from Alabama then maybe we will see there name off some of these prospects, once they see the real Brian Kelly!

Why haven't Michigan or Ohio State offered Kizer yet? He has the measurables and athleticism to be a QB in either offense, and led his team to apt he championship game so he must play pretty well too. I know Michigan is taking their time recruiting QBs, but still find it odd neither have jumped in.

Well he's a WR first off and I think Michigan offers in the end, not sure OSU offers. Edit I'm sorry I read Kizer and thought Kieff from cinci. Lol I'm stupid

Deshone Kizer is who I was talking about, not Derek Kief.

Yep, we were just slow playing CFB the last 19 years. We recruited good when we sucked, the sleeping giant is now awake. We lead for Smith Jr., his own words, Weisher, the RB from Minnesota Jones would jump on offer, but I don't see him getting one with us being the favorite for Elijah Hood. Think Jones will be UM/ND battle, same as the McDowell. Unfortunately it's looking like we will have small class next year.

I do think Michigan is in the mix for Jamarco Jones and he'll be back to campus at some point.
