A Glance at the 2017 Recruiting Board
With the commits today, figured it may be relevant.
1 QB: Currently McCaffrey.
3 RB: Currently Taylor, Dillon, and Samuels. May change with outside chance at Harris and Akers.
0-1 FB: Currently Mason; Possibly Carter if Mason is slotted as LB
0-1 TE: Don't really have any obvious targets on the board. Falo Possible.
4 WR: DPJ, Collins, Black, Martin.
8-9 OL: Currently Hall, Stueber, Honingford, and Herbert.
- Most likely also Wilson, Ruiz.
- Possibly Wills, Fillaga, and Slaton.
- Unlikely Leatherwood.
6-9 DL: Currently CMH, Paye, Paea, Jeter, Hudson, Villain.
- Possibly Tufele, Reitmaier and Irving-Bey.
3-4 LB: Ross currently (Mason could count here as well);
- Likely Singleton, Anthony, and Gay.
1-2 CB: St-Juste currently; Thomas likely
2-3 S: Woods currently; JKP and Hawkins (from previous class) are likely
It seems like based on what's cooking... 32 seems like it is a target number for us. Emphasis on the trenches is pretty clear.
There were obviously other people on the board, but I wanted to keep it pretty streamlined. I will edit in any obvious omissions!
Maybe I should add Aaron Banks who I think harbaugh visited during the bye week.

I thought the B10 had a limit to class sizes? I was thinking 28? Must be wrong.

we don't complain about that anymore as we now take advantage of it.

Excellent thread. With Benjamin's recent de-commitment from Iowa and his mention of Michigan he should probably be added to this list. Hard to say whether this would affect Kurt Taylor's spot but IIRC Eno's avg/rush is 8+ compared to Kurt's 5+

Gotta add- Kurt seems like an awesome guy - tough, loyal.
Also: its Rutger Reitmaier

Some others will drop out. I see absolutely no reason, for example, to take 9 OL. I don't know why someone would want to be part of a 9 person OL class. 6 or 7 is stretching it, 9 is almost a two-deep. I expect some OL and DL guys that are currently in the fold to no longer be in the fold by signing day.

Winning starts in the trenches. Boo yah.

I would hate to see Kurt Taylor not ending up in this class. But what happens if one of the top RBs decides to come to Michigan? I've heard Taylor might be pushed out, which would really suck based on his character, loyalty to the program and the number of times he has visited Michigan. He loves Michigan. Here is to hoping he ends up in the class.

I think he'll project to more an OLB like Uche and company
