UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Blake Corum will commit on Thursday and bump M up to 8th!

Yeah, I'm not impressed by this class. There's no high end. I think they're pretty much done with top 100 players. They have 2....in the lower half. They still should add some good 100-200 type players -- mid-high 4* -- starting with Corum. But it's meh -- I think it's much closer to 2018 than 2019. And I thought this best class was 2017 -- by far.

You were close. They added Kalel Mullings too (#148 comp) and are now #5.

Crushing it. If they get up to 35 commits they may crack the top 3.

Heh.

They need to beat Ohio State and win the B1G. M will get more interest from the blue chippers only after that.

RJ Moten ATH is a good bet to pick M, I like him much more as a safety prospect. I was looking at M's top targets just before the recent wave of commits and the interest from blue chippers (top 150 overall) just wasn't there outside of who just recently committed. This is going to be a class that falls into the 11-14 range after other schools get their commitments...

Makari Paige DB & Malik Carr TE/WR (Purdue lean) are two in-state targets I'm watching.

Back down to 6th. Heh.

[WM Wolverine]

M took two other TEs in this class already before Carr decided.

M is still recruiting wide out, running back, OL, DB, and DL. Harbaugh apparently expects significant attrition.

[iam416]

I know OSU really likes Paige. HARBAUGH!!!! is already at 20 commits. With 26 last year. What's the realistic number? 5 or 6 more spots?

[Jeff Buchanan]

Probably, Brain and mgo put up a pretty good run-down today of how a class of 25-26 will play out. He also notes that in the end, M is likely to do better than 8 or 9 other schools in the final class rankings for 2020.

Another 4-star added- WR Roman Wilson. #318c, up from #1191 in February I guess he's having some good camps or just wasn't seen much due to living in Hawaii. Other offers came from just about every PAC-12 school and Wisky.

It also sounds like Jerry Rice's son Brenden (also a WR) is close to committing. He's ranked #397 and had 2 Crystal Balls picked for him today for M, including one from Sam Webb.

Some of these guys are low ranked by the services, but they seem to fit a need. Brenden Rice won't have any undue expectations on him, .. will he?

They've now got 13 commits in the top 400 (10 4-stars), 4 in the 400-500 range, 1 in the 500-600 range, and 1 unranked. All in all, that's fairly solid.
