Bigtime Visitors Added

Michigan's already-impressive visitors list for Saturday's top-25 matchup with Northwestern has become more notable. Five-star running back Kareem Walker and four-star linebacker Devin Bush Jr. will both be on-campus this weekend.

Walker, an Ohio State commit ranked the No. 1 running back and No. 21 overall prospect nationally (No. 2 in New Jersey behind fellow U-M target Rashan Gary) is a teammate of fellow visitor Quayshon Alexander at Wayne (N.J.) DePaul Catholic. He picked the Buckeyes on the night of their national championship win over Oregon in January, but never had the chance to visit one of his other top schools, Michigan. See more on Walker's visit here.

While he is considered solid to the Buckeyes, he's always expressed the desire to see other schools, and the OSU coaching staff intends to allow him to do just that. Michigan would have to impress in a big way to shake him loose.

Bush has long been a top target of Michigan. Two teammates at Pembroke Pines (Fla.) Flanagan are committed to Michigan in defensive backsDevin Gil and Josh Metellus. The 5-11, 224-pounder could fill Michigan's need for an athletic middle linebacker in the class, even if he's slightly undersized. He's the No. 6 inside linebacker and No. 171 overall prospect nationally, and the No. 25 player in Florida.

While many have pegged him to either Florida State (where dad was a defensive back) or Michigan (thanks primarily to the teammate factor), Bush maintains that he is wide open. Getting him back in town - he hasn't been since the summer - should greatly boost Michigan's chances of landing him.

The addition of these visitors increases the prospects littering the sidelines at Michigan Stadium to an even higher level, and should help make for an intense atmosphere as the Wolverines attempt to knock of the undefeated Wildcats.
