There has been a lot of action in the B1G and the 2017 recruiting class over the last week. 

This piece will focus on the players that decided to decommit from their initial school of choice just before National Signing Day. Later today, I will give an update on the players that committed to B1G schools over the last week.

Sunday 1/22

Jim Harbaugh received word that offensive tackle Kai-Leon Herbert (.905) would not attend school in Ann Arbor. Three days later, the 26th-ranked OT committed to Mark Richt and the Miami Hurricanes.

Kai-Leon
Kai-Leon had the "M" correct, but not the school.

Monday 1/23

Cornerback, Raheem Layne (.823) decommitted from Minnesota and P.J. Fleck and will probably sign with Indiana or Wake Forest. Don't feel bad for Fleck as he was busy working for another option at corner...

Ihmir Marsette (.835), a cornerback from Newark, NJ, decommitted from Rutgers the same day as Layne. Today (1/29) Massette committed to Fleck and the Gophers. 

Thursday 1/26

Defensive tackle, Joshua Croslen (.852) of Cibolo, Texas decommitted from Minnesota and P.J. Fleck. The 56th ranked DT is predicted to sign with Major Applewhite and Houston. 

Malcolm Robinson (.841), an offensive guard from Massillon Washington, decided not to attend Purdue. On Friday he traveled to Minneapolis and made an official visit to Minnesota. He is expected to sign with P.J. Fleck on Wednesday.

Fleck
P.J. Fleck currently has a revolving door at Minnesota.

Sunday 1/29

Wide receiver, Raheem Blackshear (.808) decided to forgo playing for Michigan State. The Warminster, PA native is expected to sign with Chris Ash and Rutgers.

Today, Jonathan Doerer (.790), a kicker from Charlotte, NC, rescinded his commitment to Maryland and committed to Notre Dame. I wonder if Doerer will regret his decision the first time Brian Kelly turns purple after he misses a kick.
