ESPN 300 offensive lineman Kai-Leon Herbert has committed to Michigan. The No. 106-ranked prospect chose the Wolverines over Florida and Miami and gives Michigan nine ESPN 300 commitments in the 2017 class.Maybe more significant, though, is that since the 2016 class, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has now landed five ESPN 300 prospects from SEC territory, including Herbert, who hails from Florida.Harbaugh has secured 21 total commitments from the south in the 2015 to 2018 classes. Prior to that, Michigan had only landed five commitments from the south from the 2011 to 2014 classes, and only one was an ESPN 300 prospect.Whether the uptick has been thanks to running satellite camps and getting Michigans name in front of more prospects or just Harbaughs name, the Wolverines are benefiting in a major way.Adding Herbert could also help land another ESPN 300 offensive lineman from Florida in Herberts American Heritage teammate Tedarrell Slaton, who is also considering Michigan. And the Wolverines could very well land ESPN 300 wide receiver Nico Collins from Alabama, which would make this class full of commitments from the south for Harbaugh and his staff.With Herbert on board, Michigan has 18 total commitments, and the nine ESPN 300 commits put the Wolverines in a tie for third most ESPN 300 commitments with LSU and Oklahoma, trailing Ohio State with 11 and Alabama with 10.

Now sister Serena will get a chance to even the score. Robson, a quickly improving 19-year-old British player, beat Venus Williams 6-3, 6-2 on Monday to set up a second-round match with top-ranked Serena. Robson won the Wimbledon junior title at 14 and at last weeks Madrid Open, she upset fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska before losing in the third round to 16th-seeded Ana Ivanovic in a third-set tiebreaker. "I just like it on big courts against these huge players because I just go out there with nothing to lose," the 39th-ranked Robson said. "I can remember seeing (Venus) play at Wimbledon when I was about 10 and I was kind of blown away with the speed that she hit the ball. "Today when she hit it in the centre of the racket it was basically point over, so I just had to take my chances." Both players struggled with the wind at the Foro Italico, with Robson hitting eight double-faults and Williams six. However, Williams errors came at more inopportune times, with two double-faults in the final game. "Its always hard to play high quality tennis in that wind," Robson said. "I wish it could have been a higher standard but Im happy to have won." Serena, who won the Madrid title Sunday, watched the match from the stands. "(Robson) has a great game," the younger Williams sister said. "Shes really young, still. Shes just so free and she looks great on the court and shes so smooth and shes a lefty, so that just adds a notch to her whole level. "Ive never played her before. Ive always wanted to. So I have a tough second-round match." Serenas only title at this clay-court tournament came in 2002 but if she continues playing the way she did in Madrid -- and in her previous two tournaments, which she also won -- shell be difficult to beat. &"She is playing probably her best tennis," Robson said.dddddddddddd"So its going to be insanely tough but Im just going to go out there and do my best."
