      There it is! As promised, Michigan has a five-star quarterback committed for 2024. We can talk about the long road to get here, and all of those who didn't make it. Notre Dame-bound local 5-star CJ Carr, who maybe wasn't Grandpa Lloyd's program's top prospect. Former quarterback coach Matt Weiss, who had to be coached by Jadyn's father on the finer points of recruiting. Davis's first high school. Even the normally cordial relationship between Michigan recruiting sites broke down over this one. This recruitment survived pursuit since middle school by Ryan Day, a childhood Clemson fandom, four years of pursuit by Georgia (where he lived for most of his life), a dumped-by-Dylan Raiola Ohio State coming back in full throttle, two NFL flirtations by Harbaugh, a snowstorm, and the athletic department's deep commitment to confounding itself on NIL. The one thing that never really wavered in all of that was Jadyn Davis, the five-star quarterback looking for a reason to go to Michigan. Reports say he was recruiting other guys to Michigan on his recruiting trips. They say he took to Matt Weiss, dragged his friends to Ann Arbor, and sought out J.J. McCarthy to take in life, the universe, and his approach to football. I keep saying reports here, but really I should be saying Sam Webb. Sam Webb had this one by the tail the whole way, as Davis wound through a fairly sane and straightforward recruiting process of visiting with friends, visiting with family, making sure the head coach wasn't leaving, then waiting a bit longer to get to the know the new position coach. The rest of us who like drama got the full five-star ride. GURU RATINGS RATINGS BY SITE 247: 6'0.5/192 On3: 6'0.5/190 Rivals: 6'0/186 ESPN: 6'1/200 5*, 98, #28 Ovr #2 QB, #1 NC 4*, 92, #105 Ovr #8 QB, #3 NC 5*, 6.1, #10 Ovr #3 PRO, #3 NC 4*, 86, #35 Ovr, #18 SE #3 DUAL, #1 NC 4.87 4.45 4.87 4.68 COMPOSITE RANKINGS 247 Composite On3 Consensus MGoBlog   5*, 0.9848, #28 Ovr #4 QB, #1 NC 5*, 96.31, #26 Ovr #4 QB, #1 NC 4.5*, #40/781 Ovr #5/43 QBs since 1990 4.85 4.63 4.73 Yep that's a 5-star. He's not a super uber duper 5-star—more Devin Gardner- than JJ McCarthy-level if we're discerning. Davis was the #1 overall prospect when the 2024 cycle started, but that was because half the country didn't play his freshman year. Davis did, starting on varsity for Catawba Ridge in Fort Mill, South Carolina, before missing the end of the season with a broken collarbone. The only part of the huge projections that followed that didn't come through was hugeness; Davis was 5'11" at the time and seems to have capped out at 6'0". After leading CR to a state title (throwing for 350 yards and 6 TDs in the championship), the rankings shot up again, and Davis transferred up to North Carolina powerhouse Providence Day. The summer before his sophomore year Davis finished fifth at the Rivals 5-star challenge despite being two years younger than most of the participants. 4th was Cade Klubnik. 2nd was Dante Moore. The most recent 247 composite had him fall from #2 to #5 among QBs. On3 is the skeptic, while ESPN is just shoehorning future SEC signal-callers into the lower bounds of their five-star range (note that #35 overall is #18 in the Southeast region). To meta for a second, Davis is a good example of how different composites operate. 247's corrects for position bonus, On3's weights towards average overall ranking, while mine treats ESPN's opinion as half as valuable as its competitors, and corrects for how much time is left in the cycle. [AFTER THE JUMP: Strengths include pocket presence, leadership and je ne sais quois.]

        • Jayden Davis is coming in at a good time. I hope that JJ stays for his senior year, but if he chooses not to, Davis could compete for the starting job as a true freshman. That would be a lot to ask of him, but he may have the ability to handle it. If JJ stays, then Davis could be red shirted, while serving as JJ's backup. Red shirts now can get some decent playing time without burning the red shirt.

          And, there's always the portal, if a fill in is needed until Davis is ready. Harbaugh seems to be getting better in portal decisions.

              • We need to keep replenishing that O line, especially as long as we still have Sherone Moore.

                  • Michigan added a verbal commitment today from 2024 legacy recruit Blake Frazier, a 6'5" OL from Austin, TX. He is the son of former Michigan player Steve Frazier, (95-99).

                    Michigan received Frazier's commitment over other finalists, Texas, LSU, Clemson and Florida. He's considered to be a 4-star by 24/7.

                        • Frazier(1) joins Luke Hamilton (2), Ben Roebuck (3), and Andrew Sprague (4) as OL in the class. With the likely commitment of C Jake Guarnera (5) in the near future—Wiltfong and Webb have both ball'd him to Michigan and he's announcing on the 28th—that would give Michigan a full offensive line in the class. There has been talk that Michigan could add a sixth guy if the right dude wants in but nothing else is imminent.
                          If I'm reading mgo's post today on Frazier (77 in that picture), I think that should read 4 out of 5.
                          Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                          • Keep filling in those spots in the trenches. That's where all the elite teams are great. Georgia, Alabama, and yes, Ohio State are all very strong in the trenches. If Michigan wants to join that group regularly, they have to keep replenishing those positions. And keep Sheronne Moore as long as we can.

                            • Alabama is a weak shell of a former great team that let TCU - who lost their last game - beat them out for a spot in the CFP.
