Great! 4th and 5th verbals for 2013, both 4-stars (Bosch OL and Shallman FB/DE), can't wait to see who else commits soon. As long as the early verbals are 4* or better, keep 'em coming!Last edited by Rob F; February 18, 2012, 01:25 PM.Comment

Huge to get Bosch in this class early. Illinois is loaded and the 4-5(LTT, Treadwell, Isaac, etc) are all pretty tight.Comment

Great to land a blue chipper from Illinois this year, it could lead to other blue chippers from Illinois as its particularly loaded in top 100 talent this year... Terrific OL class (Tuley-Tillman, Pocic, ) in addition to skill guys like Isaac, Treadwell, etc... M is 'in' in all of the blue chippers in Illinois other than a couple QB's; both of whom will probably have offers from almost everyone in the B10 other than M.Comment

Meaning he might help recruit other HS studs from Illinois for us? Sweet!Originally posted by The Oracle View PostComment

Shallman has a huge upside as well. I think Michigan is looking at him on the defensive side."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Offense.Comment

Aaaaaand David Dawson and Jourdan Lewis commit.Comment

M has told Shallman he's a running back, which I think is a mistake. Not because he's not a talented back but because he's that good of a defensive end...
Oracle and I posted at the same time but yes, Bosch most certainly helps M with other Illinois recruits; Tuley-Tillman, Treadwell, Pocic and Isaac mostly. Great year for top talent in Illinois and M establishing pipelines there is great to gain an edge over ND. Carr, RR generally lost recruiting many of ND vs M recruiting battles in Illinois. ND generally has been able to take the very best in Illinois, leaving the scraps for Wisky, Iowa, Illinois, NW to fight over....
Going off on a tangent but the talent in M in '13 isn't particularly exciting after the top 6-7... Class of '14 in-state is deeper and has a lot more top 200 type talent; should be a year M will offer ~10 or so in-state kids.Comment

Good day to clean-up the recruiting board; both Dawson & Lewis were highly expected in this class once an offer came through.Comment

I'm torn on Shallman. I love the option of having someone that big and athletic at RB...I haven't looked at much defensive film of his, but if he's that good a DE....Comment

Pretty much everyone we wanted in state is now done(save Elmer) unless I'm missing someone.Comment

I expect a couple new names to pop-up in-state this summer in camps, kinda like Drake Johnson did but otherwise yes, M cleaned up in-state very early. Berkley Edwards is the type of guy who could get a late offer if ones available late, he's a RB/ATH that could play some receiver and runs a 4.5... If M strikes out on its top targets at DT nationally, they might fall back on Poet Thomas DT... Riley Norman probably isn't M caliber at OL, should do well for MSU...
Might recognize the name of Demar Dorsey, he's going to transfer after next season and should get B10 quality offers, classified as a transfer in class of '13. Will need to get his academics to get by admissions. GRCC is actually one of the few CC's M is accredited for.Last edited by WM Wolverine; February 18, 2012, 02:52 PM.Comment
