*Update 11/14 12:54 - Looks like Farrell jumped the gun on this one - Hand is headed for Alabama*
America's #1 player in the 2014 class, Da'Shawn Hand, is rumored to leaning heavily toward Michigan according to Rivals.com Mike Farrell.
Farrell, who covers the mid-Atlantic region for Rivals and is the self-proclaimed "godfather of recruiting" has said the following this morning on Rivals message boards:
"My source is picking Michigan as well but he's so close to Da'Shawn he has asked not to know until the announcement to give him space. I also heard as of late last yesterday afternoon Da'Shawn hadn't even officially told his dad. I think they had a discussion last night and I'm sure the family knows by now."
Farrell went on to say that the rumors he has heard this AM and "not concrete," but he feels confident in his source close to Hand.
