- Michigan's top-rated recruit 'a Wolverine right now' after Sherrone Moore firing
Michigan football 's top-rated recruit, defensive end Carter Meadows , has no plans for a quick exit, according to his high school coach, Randy Trivers of Gonzaga College High School in Washington D.C.
"He signed his letter of intent and he's a Michigan Wolverine right now,'' Trivers told USA TODAY Sports. "That's what his status is until he or his family sit down and decide that they want to do something different, which may not ever be the case. So his status is status quo, if you will."

Michigan released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying it had found "credible evidence" Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore engaged in an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member." Later in the day, Moore was arrested as police investigated an alleged assault.
Meadows, 6-6 and 230 pounds, is rated as the sixth-best overall recruit by 247Sports and Rivals and the 23rdbest overall by ESPN. Michigan was the heavy favorite before he signed with the Wolverines. He also considered Penn State , Ohio State and South Carolina , according to 247Sports and Rivals.

Trivers said, "There may be a couple guys that were really close to committing to another school" and "then all of a sudden this happens, and now it's like, oh, well, let me go to this (other) school instead of Michigan."
That does not appear to be the case with Meadows based on Trivers' perspective and recommendation.
"Rather than make a knee-jerk panic type of reaction, he's, let's really gather information," Trivers said. "Let's listen. Let's see what's going on here, and then ultimately make the right and best choice, which may be to be right there at Michigan."
