UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Dunno to who, but his big connection to us was through Tony finoti who's on his way to Fresno. Nothing in stone, but will probably hurt.

I wouldn't worry.. I heard Michigan guaranteed him playing time as a freshman.

[entropy]

btw.. why would Tony Finoti push a kid to Michigan?

[WM Wolverine]

Singelton should be M, I like him a lot and the timing should favor M... Anthony was a favorite of mine, really terrific athlete at linebacker. Singleton & Anthony should give us one of the best non Bama/OSU classes at LB.

No disrespect, AA, but I have no respect for you and your asshat ways.

So is Singleton this week, too?

Asshat? am bitterly disapointed in that. Bitterly. That's a fack.

Yeah, I think so. He's a M lock, last I heard.

How close is Filiaga to Tuioti? Drev is the primary recruiter and both him and Harbaugh just paid Filiaga a visit. A Filiaga + Najee commitment would be awesome. This would do wonders for the run game. Filiaga is a bulldozer.

The Oracle was probably overreacting to the loss of that Tuioti guy. If Filiaga was sold on M, he's sold on M, not Tuioti.

don't agree with you, but hey you are the recruiting expert.

[AlabamAlum]

The only thing "Taent" is an expert on is debauchery, buggery, and Smarty Jones pics.

I also like M's LB class better than OSU's, but not Alabama's. With Singleton, of course.

[WM Wolverine]

Singleton to M!

M's class is pretty much a complete, just adding toppings.

All 'needs' filled, would be nice to have a blue chip NT but not sure if that'll happen as Solomon is heading to Georgia and there isn't the optimism there once was for Tufele and there never was a lot... Would be great to have another blue chip WR like Nico Collins... Would be excellent to land the #1 overall recruit in Najee Harris...

M will probably take another OT like Becton or someone similar... M will likely take a 5th DB, whether that is Elijah Hicks or someone else they like.

Thanks WM

[Cody_Russell]

Yea thanks for the info WM.
Very easy presentation to follow.

If Najee is flipping to M, that must be coming up very soon with Spring 2017 classes starting in a few weeks. It took me a few weeks to prepare for my first semester.
Scheduling classes... setting up living... packing.

[WM Wolverine]

Sam Webb (?) says it wouldn't surprise him if Najee doesn't make (another) announcement and just shows up to classes in January, whether that be Bama or M. Najee obviously would be a huge upgrade in talent to the RB position getting a dynamic playmaker at a key position; hopeful but not optimistic on Najee.

These excellent back-to-back classes are very much needed after Hoke's '14, '15 classes and will pay off huge in '18 & beyond. Not sure if it'll stay a 'top 5' class however class rankings doesn't matter as much as filling needs and M filled every need with very good talent and added a ton of numbers where they needed numbers...

M will need to be much pickier in '18, with a lot less scholarships. Going forward, I love where M is headed. Unfortunately our biggest rival has the best coach in CFP and had a 3-year head start on HARBAUGH!
