Hello: Dylan McCaffrey Comment Count

Brian

Michigan has landed a commit from the top 2017 QB on their board, Dylan McCaffrey (Yes That McCaffrey). McCaffrey is the son of Ed and brother of Christian; he's 45th on the 247 composite, and the #2 pro-style QB in the country behind Clemson commit Hunter Johnston.

In McCaffrey, Michigan gets a 6'5" pocket passer with huge upside and excellent bloodlines; his early commit will hopefully allow him to recruit other gentlemen into the class. Michigan may still pursue a second quarterback in the class. If they do so he's likely to be a player like Gentry or Viramontes who could play another position if QB doesn't work out. More likely is that Michigan stands pat with McCaffrey and Peters in back to back classes.

Now someone needs to forward Dylan the twitter handles of Peoples-Jones, Nico Collins, Joseph Lewis, Isaih Wilson, Slaton & all our other offensive recruits.

Having a big time QB commit early is huge for recruiting the rest of the class. Lets turn this into a massive haul of talent.

And that's actually the best way to evaluate a recruiting class . . . how well you did at each position of need.

If you get the top TE for example, and he is only #50 on the recruiting list, you still got the top TE.  It does not matter that the guys in front of him are ranked higher, you can only take one or two guys at each position.  You can't take 20 DT's just because they are ranked higher.

Michigan's 1998 class is a good example.  It had the top one or two guys at at least 5 different positions (and they all worked out, no busts!).  They were essentially the core of the class that beat Alabama in the Orange Bowl.

Dave Pearson hit #27 on about the 16, pushing him back to the 10.  Then Baas hit #27 at the 8, giving Navarre just enough room to run past him.

Matt Lentz had pushed #25 almost out of bounds.  #25 had the best shot at Navarre after getting up, but whiffed on the tackle at about the 18.  Four OL>2 DBs.
