The last 2023 Hello that has not yet been done is West Bloomfield 4* IOL Amir Herring. This was a recruitment process that hinged on whether Michigan wanted Herring in the class, which for some time seemed to be an open question. As the Wolverines chased other targets, Herring tried to heal his broken heart by looking at other suitors but Michigan didn't let him get too far. As the top targets at the position fell through, the Wolverines circled back with enough time to get the job done. Herring wound up in the class after all, and now he gets his hello: GURU RATINGS Rivals: 6'3/281 ESPN: 6'3/280 247: 6'3/300 On3: 6'3/290 247 Comp 4*, 5.8, NR Ovr #13 OG, #7 MI 4*, 83, #10 MW, #159 Ovr #6 OG, #3 MI 4*, 90, NR Ovr #13 IOL, #4 MI 3*, 88, NR Ovr #43 IOL, #10 MI 4*, 0.9068, #284 Ovr #13 IOL, #4 MI 4.03 4.41 4.14 3.69 4.07 Herring is a solid 4* prospect, with only On3 at the lower end of the rankings. All four sites have him as a top ten prospect in the state and given the deep ties between West Bloomfield and UM, it always seemed likely to end this way. That said, as stated earlier, Michigan seemed to have Herring lower on their board than what these recruiting rankings would suggest. That's what we will spend most of the next section investigating.
