UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[WM Wolverine]

Rivals doesn't have Harding listed as a commit anymore. Not sure what if anything has changed. As for Falcon, it's remotely possible this is a ploy to get him to grayshirt but more than likely he's not going to play football at Michigan. Kingston Davis is going to take official visits all over the south, this is expected but still a lil' worrisome depending on what you think of his talent level... Needs are still DT and BTA, recruiting board is below:

RB: Kareem Walker
WR: Donnie Corley, Dylan Crawford, Keyshawn Pie Young
TE: Isaac Nauta
OL: Terrance Davis

DT: Rashan Gary, Chris Daniels, Carlo Kemp, Connor Murphy
LB: Devin Bush Jr., Caleb Kelly, Jonathan Jones
DB: LeVert Hill, Lamar Jackson, David Long
K: Quinn Nordin

M has build a lot of momentum with this class, its yet to materialize in any actual commitments. Yet M is building interest as the season goes on, good departure from Hoke's tenure. Recruits are noticing HARBAUGH!!! is for real and will get M to compete nationally and be a top 10 program.

WM: what do you think of Davis' talent? I didn't think his offer list was great, but that's about all I know.

[WM Wolverine]

I was hoping to hear high praise from his senior season and we haven't heard it nor have we seen any significant offers come in for him since. The Michigan and Florida offers stand out for him, the others are mostly C+ programs other than Nebraska.

The new staff never wanted Harding, but he'd never pick up the phone so they could tell him. Evidently it all came to a head this weekend and he's no longer committed. This was a long time coming.

LOL! Like the Fred Sanford approach to bills -- put them back in the mailbox.

From Brian @ MGOBLOG:

Anyone want to speculate about the "playing time transfer(s)?"

SCHOLARSHIPS

We assume Michigan will go to 28.
Michigan has 16 open spots right now plus three specialists who may be on one of those "you get the first spot that opens up" kind of deals. In addition there are 2-4 guys who probably won't get fifth years.
Thus Michigan is expecting to lose at least 5-8 current members of the roster (other than fifth years) before Signing Day. (Big Ten rules prevent teams from oversigning unless they can explain where the scholarship is coming from.) That's not an inordinate number given the roster composition, the sudden possibility of NFL interest, and the fact that this is the first year of a new coach. We know of one guy who is already planning a playing-time transfer, FWIW, and there are no doubt more.
CURRENT CLASS SIZE

We are not considering Dele Harding a commit. He was removed from the Rivals commit list and any insider you poke will tell you they don't expect him to end up at Michigan.
We have also heard that some of the camp commits in the class were explicitly offered grayshirt deals. We are not exactly sure who, but depending on how things go Michigan could end up with extra spots in the class as guys reclassify to 2017 or take opportunities for 2016 elsewhere.
In addition, Chris Evans, Kingston Davis, and David Reese have all announced plans to take visits and should be considered soft commits.

Reese is a player, they would be wise to not let him go.

[The Oracle]

He's only 3 stars!??!?!??!

[hack]

Can I just save linesman and talent the trouble and write out the next 20 posts for them?

[lineygoblue]

You might as well, Hack. I have no idea who you guys are talking about.

[UMStan White]

Kareem to ND

[The Oracle]

Gary and Nauta playing on espn2 right now.

[froot loops]

He's only 3 stars!??!?!??!

Put him at fullback and he'll flatten 5 stars.
