My own dream class for 2010
"Ok, a few short notes. I am a Texas high school football coach, so I am knowledgeable and not just some n00b. I don't post much on here because I don't have much free time (see above). Having stated thus, this is meant as my own dream class, if you will. Before you point out the obvious, I am fully aware that these kids are not all (or even close to most) going to commit to U-M and/or ever play in the Maize and Blue. That's why it is my "dream" class. Because we don't know the exact number of kids that will be in this class, I am using a 25 member "full class" as my baseline. Have at it:
Offense:
Devin Gardner (QB)
Christian Green (QB)
Lache Seastrunk (RB)
Corey Brown (RB)
Austin White (RB)
Ricardo Miller (OWR)
Jeremy Jackson (OWR)
Jerald Robinson (OWR)
Brandon Ifill (SWR)
Chris Dunkley (SWR)
Robert Crisp (OL)
Seantrel Henderson (OL)
Torrian Wilson (OL)
Defense:
Dior Mathis (CB)
Lo Wood (CB)
Cullen Christian (CB)
Marvin Robinson (S)
Jordan Haden (S)
William Gholston (LB)
Ishmael Thomas (LB)
Derrick Bryant (DE)
Darryl Baldwin (DE)
Jonathon Hankins (DT)
Jay Guy (DT)
Torrea Peterson (DT)
So, that makes 13 on offense, on 12 on defense. Obviously a "dream" class, but we can all dream can't we?
Feel free to comment/suggest/question any of my choices. I'm aware that there aren't many in-state names on this list, but again, this is not how I would recruit, just a pipedream of a once in a lifetime class. Like I said, it's nice to dream...

Baldwin is expected to commit to OSU and he's a SDE, as is Bryant. We need at least one pure WDE; I suppose Gholston is a WDE/WLB, but he's talking like he wants to play LB in college. Not sure what other viable WDE targets are out there.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:31 PM ^
Me either. Hard to come up with a complete list this early. Just throwing it out there...

None of these guys have a name that stands out......we need recruits with colorful names- who cares if they can play football. We guys named Harry Dumas or Hugh Jass- give me something to work with.
February 19th, 2009 at 12:41 PM ^
I'm still waiting for a recruit named Frodo Buttbanger or Starbuck Caprica.
February 19th, 2009 at 1:44 PM ^
Larry Raper is a start.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
I was pissed that Lord Barkevious dropped M. I want ALL the good names. All of them.
In the list above, I'm interested in that "Lemonier" and "Champagne" guy. That'd be cool.

I am a tad concerned with the number of LBs. I guess we will have to see where the hybrids from this year's and last year's classes end up. To increase the number, I would like to see one fewer RB and Slot. I would be ecstatic to add three quality CBs!
