It looks like we’re starting to see the fallout from Michigan’s struggles and negative P.R. over the coaching staff’s handling of quarterback Shane Morris over the weekend.
Darian Roseboro, a top defensive lineman in the 2015 recruiting class, announced on Twitter Monday that he has officially decommitted from Michigan.

Players decommitting is part of the game and happens from time-to-time, especially when a program is struggling like Michigan.
Roseboro announced his commitment on ESPN Aug. 29, saying, “I love the coaching staff, the fans, everything about (Michigan),” according to MLive.com.
Apparently that has changed.
Michigan has eight seemingly solid commits for the 2015 recruiting class (players who would be on campus next year). Two of their top recruits (not included in the eight) reportedly are interested in taking other visits. The more this sort of thing starts to happen, the more pressure there will be for the school to make a change at head coach. You want a new coach in place to help solidify the program and show your recruits that you have a direction.
As for Roseboro, there are rumblings that he is interested in NC State, which gave Florida State a great run over the weekend. Roseboro was there on a visit.
