You mean you didn't hear he committed...?
This might be arrogant, and if it is, it is, but we're Michigan

Jarrod Wilson
Tall, rangy ball hawk with speed. Looking forward to seeing what he can do, especially since he will get to participate in spring ball.
Jarrod Wilson, AJ Williams,
Jarrod Wilson, AJ Williams, Ojemudia, and Pipkins....
Jarrod Wilson has been at the
Jarrod Wilson has been at the top of my list from the day he committed. I think he can have an immediate impact from day 1 and that's he gone way under the radar both in terms of national recruiting as well as for Michigan fans. He will make some big plays next year.
Joe Bolden is someone I think everyone should be excited about. He's getting on campus early. He seems to have an extremely high football IQ. I think he too can get on the field early and will be a leader for this team in the future.
Pee Wee is probably my third favorite. He's loose, but determined. I love his personality and I think he will make press conferences interesting for years to come. He's also a beast on the field. I think Hoke and Montgomery can turn him into a future All Big Ten NT.
Honorable Mention to Amara Darboh. I like guys who have good stories, good perspective, and a good head on their shoulders. Darboh is that kid. His story is remarkable.
I do love all our recruits, but these are the kids who stand out. I hope that they can all come in and help increase the level of competition. These are a talented bunch of kids.
Avatar is a reference to this. Go Blue!
Since bolden and pee wee have been taken
I'm excited to see if Tom strobel can crack the lineup on that d line. He seems to have the size too
This might sound arrogant, and if it is, it is. We’re Michigan.

Mitch McGary
Pipkins by a landslide for me
Followed by Wormley. I'm also sort of excited about Sione Houma, but I would guess he's going to redshirt.
210lb FB
The one recruit I don't understand. He plays in a full house so he hasn't been a lead blocker in HS. He's extremely undersized for the position and with Hopkins move to FB and Kerridge getting healthy I just don't see him seeing the field for a while.
He does have talent, but I just don't see him as a college FB.
Fullbacks
It wasn't really until Carr's later years that UM went to the all-he-does-is-block style of fullback. We used to have fullbacks that would get some carries in the running game and catch the ball out of the backfield (guys like Aaron Shea, Chris Floyd, Burnie Leggett, Che Foster, to name a few). BJ Askew was mysteriously effective as kind of a hybrid fullback/tailback player. So, maybe that is what the staff has in mind for Houma?

Kyle Kalis
Can't wait to see Kalis mow down everyone as Fitz and Denard run for another 1500 yards each.
I'm also excited about Pipkins, but I hope he doesn't do anything... eye-opening... off the field.
I'm not sure what you're
I'm not sure what you're getting at... maybe I missed something. The only off-field issues I've heard of are his hilarious impressions and the media loving him
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

Amara Darboh
Saw a lot of highlight footage from him in high school and I'll tell you what with his hands and speed he reminds me of a young Manningham or Arrington even better maybe!
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

Garnett, Reeves, Grant
because we don't have them locked down yet . . .
Kalis, Bolden and PeeWee for those who already committed.
Josh Garnett
Yeah, I went there.
Ross/Bolden
Those guys look like naturals, and I look forward to having LB play be a strength.

Woodson. I don't get the joke of naming past recruits. I mean I get Demar, but just other random commits I don't understand.
Kenny Allen and Bo Dever...
...just because no one else will say their names. I will.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
Kalis
The guy is a monster already before even stepping into the big boy weight room. In all of his interviews he's just a humble, well spoken kid who will be a great locker room guy as well. Big things to come from this young man
Receivers
Darboh/Chesson
It's a position where
(1) We need depth
(2) You naturally see guys rotate in for snaps behind starters
(3) "Easier" to learn/transition and you historically see a more guys make an impact as freshmen (S. Watkins, J. Jones). This characteristic is what separates it from D Line.
Next comes Pipkins/Bolden.

6' 2" and 6' 3". They'll be some big targets for the QBs.

PEE WEE
b/c IF he and BWC can both get more fit and PEE WEE can learn the schemes, the combo of those two up the middle has the potential to be sick. Even if not, I'm not anxious to see where Pipkins starts out and how the coaches talk about him as a predictor for future dominance.
I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

I was thinking similar, except more likely a wideout. I think he would be M's tallest receiver too.
Vada Murray
Vada Murray, RIP, was a 3/4 yr starter at safety who was also 6' 4".
Shazor
Earnest Shazor was also 6'4" I believe.

Murray = Good Example, Shazor...not so much.
Shazor was a WLB playing safety because that's just what we did. We said, screw this spread thing sweeping the nation...we're going to play defense like the Power I will forever be in style. Tommy Hendricks worked. Ernest Shazor did not.
However he had a SWEET hit in that Purdue game!

Dunn
Getting f'd by Meyer. He will not get half of the carries promised.
[Caved troll is caved. Sorry, Mobile app users.]
Bolden
The things he said when he committed about ND and ohio, and everything I have read about him since, suggest to me that the kid is a natural leader. If he can play at a high level, I can envision him being the emotional leader of this defense by his junior year.

Ben Braden
HE is 325 lbs, and looks in shape. He could play at 340 in 2 years, and be a monster no one saw coming

AJ Williams. With the reports
AJ Williams. With the reports of him being a top 5 player from Ohio if he were strictly an OT i'd say he warrants consideration.

Right away? Pipkins. Over the entire four years, I have a feeling Allen Gant is going to be an impact player.

pharaoh brown
was my favorite, I thought he would be a killer TE or athletic DE.
Favorite Recruit: I like Mario O. now. The skinny DE on Alabama gave me hope for fast and athleticguy who can own the edges.
2.) Funchess seems like a serious weapon if the coaches can use him.
3.) Wormley seems like he could be as good as Spence and the like if he can get coached up.
Kalis, Bolden, Ross etc are just solid and great recruits
