UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Hannibal]

Guys like Duckett and Rogers were once a year outliers. Now we bat .500. We need much better for this rivalry because the player development gap is massive.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Seems to me that's the bigger problem then and a great reason for recruits to head to EL

[whodean]

MSU is much higher profile than they were back then.

Point taken. And, yeah -- if we need to take the top in-state kids just to beat D'antonio, then obviously we've just got to get a better staff in here.

[Rocky Bleier]

Have you guys forgotten they were 7-6 in 2012 including 3-5 in the Big Ten?

Do you also realize that Dantonio lost his first 4 bowl appearances at MSU?

Where was all of this capitulation to and anointing of MSU then?

Geez I wonder what changed between then and now.

Mike Weber is blue!

Excellent news. Precisely what's needed.

[The Oracle]

I didn't realize he'd gotten up to 210lbs. He's about my perfect size for a RB.

[Da Geezer]

I wonder how much Weber's committment had to do with Walker being on campus for today? Probably not much. Quite a coincidence though.

Class of '15 Recruiting Board

Offense
QB: Alex Malzone
RB: Michael Weber
WR: Brian Cole
TE: Chris Clark
OL: Jon Runyan Jr., Grant Newsome

Defense
DL: Darian Roseboro, Tyrone Wheatley Jr. & Keisean Lucier-South
LB: Darrin Kirkland Jr., Asmar Bilal
DB: Garrett Taylor, Tyree Kinnel
K/P: Andrew David

-

Needs left: DL, DL, DL, LB, OL, CB. Probably only a 16 member class, if York leaves he's part of the 'expected' attrition that I've already accounted for.

[The Oracle]

Solid class so far. Really like the RB, WR, TE combo and the DBs.

[Rocky Bleier]

Good average star rating on this class. Only Runyan Jr. and the kicker are less than 4 stars.

[Hannibal]

I expect Malzone to drop back down to middling 3* territory, based on summer camp reports. We supposedly lead for all of the uncommitted guys on the list except for maybe Wheatley, who I haven't heard anything about. We are supposedly recruiting him for TE but we are already loaded at TE, not to mention H-back/fullback types. We also suppposedly lead for CB Marcus Lewis. I'd love to have another WR and another OL in there too.

[Rocky Bleier]

Roseboro or Wheatley would make me happy.

Glad to have Cole & Weber to replace Campbell & Harris.
