Midwest Recruiting Analyst
Posted Feb 3, 2009

Even with Signing Day right around the corner, colleges are still finding time for the 2010 class as several junior days have recently taken place and with them, a number of offers have been handed out to the 2010 class. Here is all the latest from the Midwest.

Quote:

The Green and White were the first school to offer Warren Mott DE/TE C.J. Olaniyan. The 6'5, 230-lb Olaniyan was an All-State selection this year after recording 14 sacks off the edge. He is a prospect we are very high on.

So is a verbal a real possibility?

That would be unfortunate. I like this kid better than any of our other DE offers so far.

Shouldn't be a shocker if he verbals to Michigan. NCAA might want to check his birth certificate since he looks 32 years old.
