UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

I think in today's game, you always plan on at least 20 no matter how bad the numbers are.


But, even at 21-22, that's still way smaller than the last two classes. HARBAUGH!!!! won't be able to take as many fliers.

[Jeff Buchanan]

My sense is the playing field is shifting a bit. Maybe wishful thinking but if M is in the conversation for a playoff berth at the end of the season and the NFL draft goes well for M's entires this year, the stage is going to be set for a very good recruiting class. It's not just Harbugh either. M seems to have found a closer in Chris Partridge that will challenge the challengers in a recurring contest.

Re Partridge, I dunno, man. Assistants that are good recruiters are great and all, but at the end of the day it's the HC and Program. Period.

Do you know who the #1 recruiting assistant was in 2016? Exactly.

I kinda wonder why he took a couple this year (Taylor, Mason). Would rather have those banked for next year.

Dan: Those were for the 247 rankings alone. The 247 Composite (247+Scout+Rivals+ESPN) is here: http://247sports.com/Season/2017-Foo...teTeamRankings

Mario Cristobal (Sp?) from Alabama was my first thought...

[iam416]

He was a couple years ago.

Tee Martin.

[Pasadena Blue]

would love to see Talent and Butch Jones on the debate stage:

[Hannibal]

Fans love it when their favorite school signs five-star talents, but Tennessee coach Butch Jones said he looks for prospects who are five-stars in other areas.

[WM Wolverine]

M's class will be a consistent 18-22 recruits going forward...

Quality should stay at the level of '17 recruiting class; 4 & 5 stars the norm with some 3-stars mixed in that the coaching staff likes more than the recruiting services.

[iam416]

5-stars at heart are champions at game of life. Butch is fantastic.

Noooope. I travel. I know better. Your idea of "bbq" is grilling some meat and pouring Kraft bbq sauce on it.

-8 respect points.

The smoker has made it's way up here in the last 5 or so year.

[AlabamAlum]

The pic I saw from the M "BBQ" did not include smokers. Just grills. Maybe there were some.

Well it's time to revv up the investigative machine. Thank you, AA, for showing us the need to get out of our own media bubble and be skeptical. I would be horrified if we were expecting to increase our recruiting footprint in the south and yet making a mockery of their finest cultural export. That would hurt our recruiting goals as well as the values, history and inclusive spirit of the university.

[AlabamAlum]

I am bitterly disappointed in all of you. Bitterly. Get on that. I want a report on my desk by morning. Or heads will roll.

Capiche?
