Back in the nineties Michigan was a major presence on the recruiting scene in Louisiana. Then running backs coach (and one-time offensive coordinator) Fred Jackson was a recruiting force in his home state, plucking high-profile targets like Chris Howard, Anthony Thomas, James Hall, and current Michigan receivers coach Ron Bellamy. Now Bellamy appears to be taking a page out of Freddy J's book, adding his third Bayou State pledge today in Destrehan (La.) wideout Phillip Wright.
