It'a Pipeline 9 ya dbag!

[iam416]

But M is only going to sign 8 in-state players! Unless you want to count Stritzinger as an honorary member of the class.

pwo maybe

[Rocky Bleier]

Can we sweep the top six?

7 of the top 8 most likely and M will pass on #7 (Antjuan Simmons, OLB) while looking likely to land Jordan Anthony LB... Best players in M should stay in M going forward...

Brad Hawkins WR/S after a JUCO stint will sign with M after getting his academics in order...

It's going to be a very large class (28-31) depending on how many blue chippers Harbaugh can convince to play in Ann Arbor. It'll likely be ranked in the 4th-7th range thanks to its size. Still lots of top 100 types that Harbaugh is trying to convince to sign with M that'll make this go from a very good class to an excellent recruiting class.

It's time for Kurt Taylor to realize he'll never play at Michigan and for one of the WRs to commit.

If we land DPJ, Isaiah Wilson, and a few of the other big names on the board, then it should be 4th-7th at least in quality too.

[WM Wolverine]

Tons of top 150 overall types on recruiting board to do so. M needs a high batting averages on their remaining recruits and I think they'll have an excellent finish.

[Hannibal]

The crystal balls are coming in Blue for Anthony. Between him, Wilson, and DPJ, that's three 5-star guys that we are in the lead for, plus at least a few other major blue chippers.

Enthusiasm? Who are you, and what have you done with Hannibal? :smile: I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Hannibal]

I call 'em like I see 'em.

[WM Wolverine]

Aaron Banks OT had a crystal ball come in for M, I know we have a chance there but last I heard he was expected to stay out west. He decides tomorrow

[WingsFan]

So, I'd say top 5 -- if they get those 9 or a close facsimile. If they get Harris, they'll be 3rd, IMO.

Fantastic! Can't wait till Harbaugh has his QB running the offense

[froot loops]

He already does.
