On 9/27, just prior to the Arkansas State game, 3star unranked DE Jhonny Williams from Berrian Springs MI committed to Mizzou with little fanfare or coverage.
Suddenly this week, he's a hot commodity. Notre Dame, which is only about 20mi from Berrian Springs just offerred Jhonny. Three days later, Michigan has now offered.
How is it that a school like ND is just now figuring out a kid within a long bicycle ride is worth offering? How is it the state school of Michigan is just now finding this kid? Surely it isn't because he committed to Missouri, or is it? Will Rivals now give him a fourth star?
btw- Danario Alexander grew up 20mi south of Baylor. Baylor offered within a week of Danario commiting to Mizzou.

I don't think it's that they're just find out about him. They missed on their top targets, and he's in their 2nd tier. He was first tier for us.
Just like Georgia offering Nate Brown late in the game. They missed on who they wanted, and he's their second choice.
Hope these kids realize this, and stick with our coaches, who wanted them when they didn't have any other top-quality offers.

I can't speak for ND, but UM knew what and who he was. They were going after bigger fish and lost out. Within hours of losing out they moved on to plan B and offered Williams.
