UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Hannibal]

Do your attrition numbers include guys not getting a fifth year? There are a few candidates.

[WM Wolverine]

My attrition numbers are just a quick estimate of the 'typical' amount M has.

[WM Wolverine]

23-25 is about what I expect; doubt we'll be off more than 1 from that range.

[whodean]

Ben Gedeon come on down.

[Rob F]

Ben Gedeon come on down.

YES! Just saw that a minute ago on MGoBlog! 4* LB out of ohio, the fence around ohio fails again!

[Pasadena Blue]

Hope Levenberry still comes on board.

[WM Wolverine]

M's remaining needs:

*2 WR, 1 SDE, 1 DT... M is also still recruiting the CB position (dishing out a few offers recently), so the coaches will probably take another one...

That puts them at 21-22 recruits; the rest the scholarships are BRA. I see 2-4 spots available to 5-star types like Kendall Fuller, EJ Levenberry, Su'a Cravens, Ty Isaac, etc.

[WM Wolverine]

13 of 17 commits from Michigan or Ohio...

[lineygoblue]

IMO, Levenberry is going to FSU.

Good get on Gedeon tho ....

[WM Wolverine]

Levenberry spent a week in Florida near FSU and they only are now, 'even' with M. It's clearly just a FSU vs M battle and Levenberry is suppose to be at the spring game this weekend. Probably a coin flip but M is in good position to land him...

One surprising visitor for this weekend is Joey Bosa (3-tech DT, 5-star) out of Florida. He's had a top four of Florida, Ohio, Wisky & Alabama. M could join that group after this upcoming weekend.

[WM Wolverine]

Odd seeing such a naked recruiting board, so many positions are 'done' already and it just turned April... Most spots are either filled (QB, TE, OL, LB) or they'll only take an 'elite' player at (RB, CB, S)...

Needs left are mostly just DL and WR. M should get a 'major' head start on '14 recruiting and if you read Tremendous; M is in on a lot of blue chip kids for '14.

[iam416]

Gedeon is a good get.

As for Bosa, he's all Tide from what I read. The Nick will have another ridiculous class.

[WM Wolverine]

Agree that's likely his destination though If Bosa is taking visits on his own dime, I think he's at least considering others.

[iam416]

Yeah, I mean, he is. But he also visited Wisky on his own dime. Meh. I'd love to see him in Columbus, but he's all Tide. Ridiculous defensive haul. They'll get the consensus top 2 players nationally, both on the defensive side, plus Bosa and probably whoever else they want. Goodness.
