UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[SeattleLionsFan]

any reason at all why we should be optimistic about a 2-3* guy? We certainly don't need another running back, particularly a fullback.

I disagree about not needing a fullback. Do we even have a real fullback on the roster?

[lineygoblue]

I think we're recruiting a couple "real" fullbacks, but I'm not sure there is one on the roster now, or one that's committed yet.

I don't see it as a big deal. If Harbaugh needs a FB, there are several RB's that may fit the bill in a switch, and there might be some guys who have played FB in HS. He'll have one if he needs one.

[WM Wolverine]

For '18? Taylor would be nice.

LEONARD TAYLOR come on down

[WM Wolverine]

Leonard Taylor!

[Pasadena Blue]

good pick-up. I am sure Urbz will be pressing to turn him from now until NSD 2018.

[The Oracle]

'18's off to a good start. Probably won't be huge numbers, but it looks like we're getting our 4th place B1G finish bump. I like it.

[lineygoblue]

I'd heard rumblings earlier that Cesar Ruiz might commit tonight. Guess the rumblings were wrong.

[The Oracle]

If he commits soon, it'll be us.

For '18? Taylor would be nice.

You got your wish.

[WM Wolverine]

There were more than just tea leaves for Taylor.

[iam416]

Good get on Taylor. FWIW, I have zero insight as to whether this sticks for the next two years. I suppose the first sign is whether he visits OSU for spring game.

His coach is a definite M funnel, though.

I'm not sure exactly how we are classifying them, but Poggi and Shallman are lining up at that spot nowadays and I think that Kingston Davis is slated for that spot or a TB/FB type role. We've got Quite a few TE/HB/FB types on the roster now.

[hack]

I guess if Poggi's not too tall than Shallman isn't either, right?

[Hannibal]

Shallman is pretty tall. I remember thinking that he might be too tall to play TB.
