A.M. College Sports Links: Michigan, Michigan State to play another outdoor hockey game, more links

The Wolverines and Spartans are set to play another outdoor game this December, this time at Michigan Stadium.

First up between the teams, though, is a two-game series this weekend, Friday at MSU's Munn Arena and Saturday at Joe Louis Arena. Associate captain Luke Glendening has been quite a find for the Wolverines.

More links FOOTBALL • Signing day is next Wednesday, and Michigan is just about done with its 2010 class. Safety Demar Dorsey, backup quarterback Denard Robinson's cousin, is still on the board for the Wolverines. He was a long-time Florida commitment, but the Gators stopped recruiting him recently and he'll decided between Michigan, Florida State, USC and Tennessee.

• Another safety Michigan is in on is California prep Sean Parker, who's down to Michigan, USC and Washington.

• One player the Wolverines don't have to worry about is linebacker/defensive end Jordan Paskorz, who committed last spring after accidentally cutting his scholarship offer in half.

• Here's that video one more time of safety prospect Carvin Johnson.

• Maybe Mike Leach was right. That Craig James is trouble.

BASKETBALL • Michigan was going to have to win the Big Ten tournament to get into the NCAA field even before Tuesday's loss to Michigan State, but John Beilein admits it would "be a far different season" had Michigan hung on in some of its more devastating losses.

• Ohio State's Evan Turner is the leading candidate for Player of the Year. David Lighty actually led the Buckeyes to a win Wednesday over Iowa.

• Illinois beat Penn State in the night's other Big Ten game.
