Costco announced it is switching from Pepsi products at its food court to Coca-Cola, according to reporting from USA Today, with the change affecting 17 locations in Michigan.
The announcement was revealed in a shareholder meeting Thursday at which the warehouse retail giant rejected an anti-DEI proposal.

Michigan leading for top ranked quarterback recruit, two-sport star in 2027 cycle

The Michigan Wolverines got their quarterback in the 2025 cycle when they flipped Bryce Underwood from LSU. They recently secured their top quarterback target in the 2026 class with top 100 signal caller Brady Smigiel committing to the maize and blue. Looking forward to the 2027 class, Michigan has placed themselves in the driver’s seat for the top-rated quarterback in that class as well.
Kavian Bryant is the No. 42 ranked overall recruit in the ’27 class but is the No. 1 overall rated quarterback in the class.As the top QB in the class, Bryant will likely continue to rise in the recruiting rankings in the coming months.
For Michigan, Bryant is the top quarterback on the board and offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey recently went to visit the star QB to continue building their relationship. Bryant had this to say about Michigan after a recent visit.
“Michigan has a lot of good qualities, the education, the facilities, The Big House. It was an eye opener.”
– 2027 top ranked QB Kavian Bryant
Education is clearly important to Bryant; he currently carries a 4.6 GPA in high school. Not many schools can offer the athletic program to match an elite education like the University of Michigan can. Bryant is a solid two sport athlete with D1 offers in basketball as well. He has expressed interest in playing both football and basketball at the next level. Again, not many universities can offer a top tier football and basketball program like Michigan can.
Currently the Wolverines have a 50% prediction for landing Bryant, but there is a ton of recruiting left in this battle. It remains to be seen if Michigan can close the deal and land their third straight elite quarterback.

Highly coveted four-star WR from Texas moves up Michigan official visit

A four-star receiver out of Texas, Zion Robinson has moved his official visit up from June 13th to May 30th. Robinson is an elite athlete, coming in at 6-foot-4 and weighing 180-pounds. He’s a tough cover with a great catch radius, the type of long, lanky, and speedy receiver that offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey has been targeting since getting to Ann Arbor.
Robinson is ranked as the 135th overall recruit for 2026 in composite ratings. Some recruiting sites have him slotted as high as 72nd overall. In addition to being an elite football player, Robinson is also a state champion track star. He won the Texas high jump last year with an amazing 6-foot-8 leap. That athleticism will make him a tough cover on the football field and jump balls in the end zone will certainly tip in his favor with that leaping ability.
Robinson made a visit to Michigan for the spring game and was seen talking to fellow Texas receiver Andrew Marsh after the game. Michigan is in the thick of this race and it is a huge plus that Robinson has moved his date up. Right now, there are no crystal balls for Robinson and he’s keeping his recruitment very private. It feels like Michigan could snag this talented young man if they play their cards right and win his team over on May 30th.

Michigan man accused of killing roommate pleads no contest to manslaughter

A 54-year-old Michigan man accused of beating his roommate to death over a year ago pleaded no contest to manslaughter.
According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, Mark Joseph Newsome, of Roseville, was living in a group home on Jan. 31, 2024, when he got into an altercation with his roommate, 72-year-old Dale Francis Mitchell. Prosecutors say another person witnessed the fight and called police.
Responding officers found Mitchell unconscious and bleeding on the floor. The Roseville Fire Department was also called to the home and attempted lifesaving measures; however, Mitchell was pronounced dead at a local hospital, according to a news release.
Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office
Police arrested Newsome and initially charged him with second-degree murder. On Tuesday, he pleaded no contest to manslaughter, which comes with a five to 15-year sentence agreement.
“Mr. Mitchell’s life was cut short in the very dwelling that should have been his safe place. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office stands as the voice of the victim to achieve justice for this horrible act by Mr. Newsome,” said Prosecutor Pete Lucido in a statement. “Conflicts between individuals should never be settled by violence.”
Sentencing is set for June 24.
