UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[iam416]

I expect Simmons to bump up a bit in his rankings. I also expect HARBAUGH!!!! to keep after him.

In 2018 news, Leonard Taylor visited OSU for the first time and says OSU and M are "even." M definitely has a real chance to land him. Jaelan Gill? No. But they're definitely in it for Taylor.

If M lands every player on WM's big board then that will give them 29 commits and 247Composite score of 300.13.

I don't know what M's number is, but I doubt it's 29 again. 5 safeties seems excessive -- recognizing fully that WM's big board is an actual class projection but a list of kids most likely to sign with M as of this moment. Also, it seems like Woods projects more toward a hybrid than a true safety. So, maybe it's 4 true safeties and a S/LB hybrid player.

Yeah, but what's their 40 time?

[WM Wolverine]

Recruiting board is M's top targets with mutual interest. If M lands a safety commit, 3 other safeties likely just lost their spot. It's still early with a lot of 'national' kids, recruits who come to the spring game from a couple states away are are a good bet to land on the board...

I haven't been able to follow recruiting all that closely so I'm sure there are names I should add but most those on the board I know M has a pretty decent to very good shot at plus M has shown more than a little interest in them. No, M won't sign 28+ again. I'd guess they'd be around 25-26, lots of seniors graduating so the underclassman should stick around for playing time in '17.

Agree on Simmons, he's one of the top 5-7 kids in-state and a recruit I really wanted. He's more athlete than football player at this point, so he's got a bit of developing to do but athletically he's up there with a lot of 5-stars.

re: Woods - He's so good in coverage imo he stay at safety. Any 6'4" safety is a potential LB but his coverage skills and athletic ability should keep him at safety. Really like his talent level, I expect him to end up a 4-star.

[iam416]

Will Auburn or Alabama offer him?

[Wellington_beefhouser]

I would imagine part of the reason for committing is to fish out other offers. I'm going to say by the end of the cycle he'll have an offer from Auburn.

Take off that M hat you hypocritical prick.

[WM Wolverine]

Chase Lasater FB/LB (2*, Florida) is a Wolverine. Looks like a fullback, for now I'll list him with the linebackers.

[iam416]

I envision this kid "not meeting developmenalt expectations" some time around November.

[paul daugherity]

That's the consensus. The only way he sticks is if he comes in as a fullback and they want to give up a scholarship for that position.

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Not sure if I'm the hypocritical prick or Woods is a hypocritical prick.

Hypocrite: a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs

[Da Geezer]

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.

One of the top players in the country is rumored to be making his commitment to Michigan today during the Spring Game.
