UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Hannibal]

Collins trending back to UM. We'll have elite WR, TE, and QB. If only we had an OL to facilitate a passing game.

[Hannibal]

I think they'd take both since they don't play the same position. Nico would be battling DPJ and Tarik Black for playing time. Grant Perry is the one who probably wants Oliver Martin to go elsewhere.

Nate Johnson and McDoom too

Counting on Frey to be a real asset both in teaching and recruiting.

[Hannibal]

Yeah I hope. It'll still take a couple of years probably.

[Detroit Dan]

On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is certainty to M:

Martin - 10
Collins - 7
Solomon - 6
Melifonwu - 5
Becton - 4
Gay - 3

[Rocky Bleier]

The order in which I want them:

1. Solomon - Need the big guys.
2. Gay - Ball-hawk.
3. Collins - Outstanding athlete
4. Martin - Solid possession receiver
5. Becton - Although it is a position of need.

[hack]

Seconded. I like that list of priorities.

If this WR class happens...

[hack]

I would have reserved that for a class that included Harris and Leatherwood. I'll give you one GIF only for what we'd get without those two.

[Detroit Dan]

Will M's class be better than last year's?

[Jeff Buchanan]

Frankly, it's also about needs, not solely about composite rankings.

If I have this right, because I don't follow the rankings that closely, yes, it will be better ranked class than last year.

With regard to needs, JH and his staff missed out in a couple of areas, the OL and maybe LB if Willie Gay doesn't somehow and miraculously sing with M this week.

[hack]

They got three very good LBs in Singleton, Anthony and Ross. Dunno that should really be called a missed area.

[Cody_Russell]

:-D Ben Mason too.

Might redshirt, but hey, maybe he's the Gedeon of 2021.

[Pasadena Blue]

OL and DT if Solomon goes 'Bama will be the big misses. I still am shocked by Wilson's decision. Harris would have been icing on the cake but not a must.

Maybe with fewer slots next year, JH can really devote his time to the OL and DT recruiting.

[WM Wolverine]

By position group:

QB: B+
RB: C+
WR: TBD, could be an A+ if those two both sign and probably still an A- with just one...
OT: C-
OG/C: B+

DT: TBD
DE: A
LB: A
CB: B+
S: B

I probably like our defensive ends more than others (high numbers there help the grade too); not sure where some of the SDE/3T's will land but Aubrey Solomon would allow me to give DT an A...

RB is a position where one player who exceeds expectations can turn a mediocre position group into a very good one.
