### Besides Wisconsin starter David Gilbert, we hear UM is poised to add two other defensive linemen from FBS schools, pending academic clearance: Ernest Settles (who had 12.5 sacks last season for a Tampa high school but was thrown off the Nebraska team in June, before enrolling, for allegedly hitting a teammate in the head with a bottle at a party) and Virginia tackle Justin Renfro, a solid run
stopper who would be eligible to play for UM this season. Renfro was a backup at UVA and has only 18 career tackles but played well when needed.
Both Settles and Renfro were three-star recruits out of high school. Gilbert, the best player of the three, needs to graduate from Wisconsin before he can enroll. That's expected to happen in August.
### UM picked up its 25 oral commitment for 2014 late Saturday night when Deerfield Beach running back Brandon Powell committed. Rated ESPN's 276th best player in the 2014 class, Powell recently de-committed from Tennessee and had numerous offers, including LSU, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
### UM offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson has finally matured. "He's slimmer and stronger and in great condition," Al Golden said. "He's healthy for the first time. He killed the conditioning test. He never did that. He had no off-field distractions all summer. T he guys he's around are holding him to a different standard now. He has risen to the occasion. If he can develop good habits and consistency, look out."
