Texas QB likely to land at UM
Toledo Blade, OH - 15 minutes ago
ANN ARBOR - What has been an unusual recruiting season for the Michigan Wolverines enters its home stretch with the biggest prize apparently secured, but a number of other targets were missed or uncertain.

One of Michigan's most pressing needs was at quarterback, where Chad Henne will start his fourth and final season this fall with no clear-cut heir working behind him. Michigan's coaches, and a number of recruiting experts around the country, think Texan Ryan Mallett is the guy.

According to Josh Helmholdt, recruiting editor for The Wolverine magazine and thewolverine.com Web site, at 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, Mallett reminds a lot of people of former Michigan quarterback John Navarre.

"That was their No. 1 need - the quarterback position - and Mallett was definitely the guy they wanted most on the board," Helmholdt said. "They took quarterbacks the last couple of years, but none of them has seemed to move into a solid position as the next starter. When Henne leaves, Mallett should be ready."

I sure hope he isn't the next Navarre.
