UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[WM Wolverine]

Yes, Najee is an early enrollee so he'll make his decision soon or he'll just be in classes for Bama/M in January.

[WM Wolverine]

With the class nearly complete, I might look ahead to '18 for a change.

Woot. Hop to. Need a scouting report for my bet with Oracle next year!

I assume they won't be at 30 AGAIN. Probably 23ish, right?

[WM Wolverine]

Low 20's with expected attrition, we'll be young and not many graduates.

[WM Wolverine]

Could see a decent amount of recruits from '14/'15 classes fall behind '16/'17 recruits and cause more than expected attrition. Haven't really looked at the 'numbers' myself but just going based off others projections.

[iam416]

My assumption is that no matter the numbers it's always at least 22. I figure things will be tight, but I also see some come to jesus talks with kids in 14-15, as you say.

[Cody_Russell]

The '15 class makes up the redshirt sophomores and juniors in 17.
Not much coming from that class, but what can we expect? Harbaugh had a few weeks to recruit, there were decommits, and a lot of change.
Higdon, Kinnel, and Wheatley Jr will get playing time. We are waiting to see what happens to Newsome. Gentry, Shelton Johnson, Jones, and Washington will have a chance for the next few years.

Just might make things a little more difficult compared to 2020 and beyond when Harbaugh has 4-5 years of full recruiting classes.

[iam416]

They'll have 56ish from 16 and 17. That gives them 29 for next year plus who leaves.

[The Oracle]

This is a great fucking class. In the conversation for best in the country given the ranking variables. Nothing to comolain about.

[iam416]

Does Scout have it highest? I know they count your best 25, so I assume they're doing best there.

[WM Wolverine]

Really love this recruiting class, yes I'm repeating. No glaring weakness, no position group neglected. Had higher hopes for OL and it looks like we might miss on our blue chip NT's but those are luxuries and first world issues.

Everyone but a handful of programs would love to have our OL class.

[hack]

OT stands out for me as an issue.

[Pasadena Blue]

It's an impressive class .. but no Solomon and no Wilson are major losses.

[WM Wolverine]

Significant misses but those happen, hopefully HARBAUGH! has good eye for talent and those 3-stars exceed expectations.

[Detroit Dan]

Najee and Nico are the two most likely of the remaining recruits. After that?
