INFO*FEST '89 BY MICHAEL SALINSKY The fevered and stress-filled period of recruiting neared conclusion yes- terday as most prep players recruited by major colleges officially com- mitted to attend the school of their choice. 19 players were expected to sign on with Michigan. As things get sorted out, it seems certain that Michigan has a solid recruiting class, likely among the nation's top ten. It is also clear that Midwest rival and next year's opening opponent, Notre Dame, has the best crop of recruits in the country. According to Illinois-based re- cruiting expert Tom Lemming, the Irish are "way ahead" of all other schools. "Michigan's in the top ten, maybe five or six, depending on some guys who haven't decided," Lemming says. INDICATIVE of Notre Dame's dominance is the number of the 161 players named All-Americans by SuperPrep magazine that Notre Dame has signed. Michigan is tied for second with Clemson and UCLA with seven commitments. Notre Dame received 17. This is the third year in a row that Notre Dame has received acclaim for the top recruiting class. Michigan's high finish is also more rule than exception. What may be different from past seasons, however, is Ohio State's challenge to Michigan for the best class in the Big Ten. Ohio State landed six players from SuperPrep's All- American list. According to Lemming, the Buckeyes have the third best class in the country - the best in the Big Ten. Others say Michigan is still the class of the conference. Undoubtedly the two are close. Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler laughed at Ihose who try to rank recruiting efforts. "Most (players) who get notoriety are picked by people outside football," Schembechler said. Asked for his evaluation, CLASSIFIED ADSI Call 764-0557 Schembechler answered, "We did OK. We got help where we needed it." SCHEMBECHLER cited the defensive line and tight end position as two of those areas. More players on the defensive line (five) than any other position committed to Mich- igan. As for tight end, the Wol- verines landed Tony McGee - the player most likely to see immediate action for Michigan next year. "We also wanted to get a great wide receiver with Kolesar grad- uating. I think we got one," Schembechler said. The coach is still not mentioning names, even with NCAA regulations lifted, but was probably referring to Derrick Alexander, a 6-foot-3 speed- ster from Detroit Benadectine who verbally committed last week. Alexander and Alfie Burch, a receiver from Warren, Ohio became the last two players to commit, raising Michigan's count to 19. The Wolverines had lost a recruit earlier that week when Tim Alvarado, a lineman from Blue Springs, Missouri switched his commitment from Michigan to Missouri. THIS YEAR has seen a notice- able increase in players changing their minds. Alvarado is the only one to directly affect Michigan. Carlton Gray, a wide receiver strongly recruited by Michigan decided on Miami, and then switched to UCLA just a few days ago. Lemming heard that Franciscus Mills, one of Michigan's defensive linemen, might switch to Indiana but Michigan Sports Information Assis-tant Mike Murray said yes- terday he was unaware of any players changing their minds. Murray said all 19 players had the letters in hand yesterday and were expected to sign. How the competition of the last few months will translate into the competition on the playing field is far from certain. Obviously, Notre Dame is almost guaranteed a competitive team for many years. In the Big Ten, Michigan showed its ability to dominate recruiting in its home state. Michigan State landed no SuperPrep All Americans and few of Michigan's top ten. The Wolverines also showed the ability to take top players from other states, getting Sylvester Stanley from Youngstown, Ohio, McGee from Terre Haute, Indiana, and Ninek Ag-hakhan from Mt. Prospect, Illinois. Indiana's and Illinois' efforts to ascend to the top of the conference suffered blows, while Ohio State battled Michigan tough, winning a number of players for which Michigan went all out. Of Michigan's 19, Lemming called them all quality ballplayers: "There are no slugs there." 6 a COMING SOON TO A DORM NEAR YOU!

The Fighting Irish are a woeful 9-23-2. "We're going to mix it up quite a bit," coach Red Berenson said. "We need to get everyone playing in case of injuries." Sparingly used first-year players Franz Herbert and Vaclav Nedomansky will see action. SHORT OR LONG. Hairstyles for Men and Women DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State . . 668-9329 Maple Village .... 761-2733 S IsN7 DI Eu RI t Sophomore winger Kent Brothers will sit out the weekend set. Brothers practiced yesterday for the first time this week, but had to leave early when pain became too severe in his lower back. In addition, Berenson said Jeff Urban would miss at least one game "because he's a senior and we have to get the new people in the system incase of injury." Berenson wants defensemen Brad Turner and Mark Sorenson to "see plenty of playing time because they are coming off injuries, and need ice time" and pointed to Todd Copeland as the defenseman who might sit out because, "he's playing well." The fifth-year Michigan coach said it was "pure speculation" that Urban and Copeland would not play as a result of their involvement in a January 3 incident involving two University women, in which they pleaded no contest to charges of harassment. If Urban and Copeland sit out it will mean all four involved in the incident would have missed games sometime since the incident (Turner and Sorenson were injured). After practice, Berenson held a 10 minute team meeting and then met shortly with the four players saying that the meeting regarded "another matter." A.J.'S JACKPOT: Trainer A.J. Duffy took home $31' by correctly drafting Wayne Gretzky, the eventual MVP of the NHL All-Star game. Each icer drew numbers and then drafted the player they thought would win the MVP. Duffy chose Gretzky with the third pick. Mike Helber had the first pick and chose Steve Yzerman because "he's my idol. I'll take him anytime."
