UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Wellington_beefhouser]

I'm a little torn on this one. From the mgoblog stuff I get the feeling the staff aren't to interested in him because of size. However, I hate seeing a highly rated CT kid go anywhere else but M. It'll be interesting to see if the Greens stick. There is still a long way to go til signing day and there will be coaches in the ears of Greens until they sign.

[The Oracle]

I doubt we go after him much.

[WM Wolverine]

He's still a plan b Target like Oracle stated. If other options fall through, we might take him...

Jalen Mayfield is very likely and a QB or two might commit by the end of the month.

[WM Wolverine]

Muhammad I think has pretty much decided in favor of M, Harrison should be taken off the board.

[WingsFan]

Joe Milton committed to Michigan great news - not a surprise. Unbelievable upside, but definitely a project

Assuming Peters is the heir apparent, Milton vs McCaffrey could be an interesting battle.

[WM Wolverine]

Lots of QB talent behind Speight:

'15: Alex Malzone
'16: Brandon Peters
'17: Dylan McCaffrey
'18: Joe Milton & ?

M needs offensive line help and after that it's mostly best talent available with the numbers they've brought in the last couple classes. Great to have a coaching staff where you know they are going to get the most out of the talent they have and put them in a position to succeed than what we saw for most of the past decade.

Jalen Mayfield on board. From the mgobloggersphere, good pick up with tons of potential.

[Hannibal]

Needs to add about 50 lbs to be effective first.

[WM Wolverine]

Mayfield will need the red-shirt year to put on good weight.

[WM Wolverine]

M is chasing some blue chippers not on my board who would certainly be added if they can make it to AA on their own dime.

[Pasadena Blue]

we need to tighten things back up with Ekiyor ...don't understand why the staff is not staying in touch with him. Seems like he is not feeling the love.

[WM Wolverine]

I like him but he's a guard. Not sure the staff prioritizes him, as often as not it's reasons other than talent level they've backed off.

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Ryan Hayes committed and signing in December. While I like the early signing period, I don't know if it'll be beneficial for M. Time will tell.

[WM Wolverine]

M lands another OT commitment in Ryan Hayes. In-stater and not surprising but really good talent at a position that needed addressed.

[The Oracle]

Really solid get.
