Nearly 2.2 million Marylanders are expected to travel this holiday season – which would represent a new record, despite being the smallest annual growth rate since 2011, according to a new report from AAA Mid-Atlantic. The report, released Tuesday, attributes the numbers to low gas prices and an improving economy, as well as back-to-back three-day weekends, with Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on Fridays.

Recruiting is an interesting business. You could be recruiting and leading for a prospect for two years and they pick another program on their announcement date. There are other prospects that you recruit for a couple of weeks, they realize the opportunity and jump at the offer.

The latter happened this weekend when Tennessee Slot WR Nate Johnson committed to Michigan. Nate is a 5’11 175 pound slot WR who Michigan has only been recruiting for a couple of weeks. Nate was a Purdue commit and mostly had offers from FCS schools. Then he had a very nice senior year with the likes of 87 catches, 1713 yards and 27 touchdowns on the way to a state title. Those stats got noticed from a number of major programs and the likes of Miami, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vandy, Temple and Northwestern. You can tell with those offers he is a good student.

When you blow up during your senior year, its hard for recruiting services to catch up. 24/7 has him ranked as a 4 star all the other services has him as a 3 (minus Scouts which don’t have him ranked at all). The book on him is he has good hands and really good “football speed” to get open. He of course is not 6’4 and never will be.

This probably ends Michigan’s recruitment of Pie Young from Florida and will leave maybe one open spot for the likes of Corley, Crawford or Stewart.
