2013 recruiting
MBB 2013 Class up to 6 on Scout
Scout has updated it's overall class rankings. Michigan has moved up to 6th overall and 3rd in the B1G, trailing Purdue and Indiana. Michigan cracks the top 10 despite Scout criminally underrating Zak Irvin, leaving him entirely out of their top 100. PG Derrick Walton comes in at 48 overall while Post Mark Donnal follows at 80. http://michigan.scout.com/2/1192620.html#.T9CxJDJZceY.twitter
Michigan In Top 3 for Leon McQuay III
Per 247 Sports, Michigan is in Leon McQuay's Top 3 along with USC and...Vanderbilt??
A very interesting list to say the least and there is a long way to go before his stated decision date of Nov. 21, but hopefully Michigan continues to make a strong push. It's also worth mentioning that many believed he was going to stay in Florida for a long time, but it seems the longer it goes, the more the out of state schools are getting looks.
Jack Kennedy drop the beat.

5-16-12: Nebraska picks up Greg Hart.

2013 RB Wilkins Visited by Michigan
Without revealing too much of the paywalled article on 247sports, Coach Heck visited Jordan Wilkins (4* RB from TN) school Monday. I thought this brought up some interesting discussion points...
1. Michigan is still looking for a RB for 2013. Do we really need one?
2. Even though we haven't heard much about him, Wilkins sounds to be the next top choice at RB after Isaac (coaches told him they're looking for one more RB and they want him "to be the guy.").
3. This brings up timing questions... if Coach Heck visited and talked to him on Monday, but Isaac announced on Tuesday?... hmmmm
4. How does he look / how would he fit in? (I'll leave that to the gurus on the board)
5. What does he eat for breakfast? (but seriously, I hesitated posting this, because I thought the board got a little obsessed with Isaac, but maybe we've learned our lesson?)
