2012 has 32 5*
That would easily give Shane 5*, along with a slew of other prospects, so Sugar Shane will have his work cut out for him - RB Ty Issac, WR Treadwell and Foster, and TE Adam Brenneman are all in the top 32, along with LB EJ Levenberry. This could be another top class for UM.

At #16 overall and currently
At #16 overall and currently
At #16 overall and currently the #3 QB in the class (a much deeper QB class than we saw last year), he will definitely have an opportunity to earn his 5th star. Last summer he really stood out in the 7 on 7s. He likes to get a lot of exposure, so I'd say its likely that he will impress over the next few months.

Visiting with his mom? That's huge.
A few months ago, the only hold up to his commitment was getting his mom on campus to see if she liked it. I think he's said since then that he wants to wait a while now, but still it's great that we can get his mom on campus.
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.

This is just pure speculation
This is just pure speculation
This is just pure speculation on my point, but I'm guessing that our staff reached out to him to take a visit.
Hoke doesn't like doing the big "junior day" type of stuff that other schools like to do. He would rather get more 1 on 1 time with the recruits. I hope he does the BBQ at the Big House thing again because that always seems like a hit with the families and the recruits.

Actually it is a combination
Actually it is a combination of tape, combine/camp and actual live game scouting. The only problem is that there are only so many analysts that can make it out to the games.
If you are not that known early in the process, my guess is that analysts would rather go to games with big name guys.
We didn't really here about him until he got offered, and soon after that his recruiting took off with offers from across the country. It is pretty clear that the coaches got some tape before the recruiting services.

Shane will probably be a low 5-star right now. But a lot depends on his last season in high school.
Hopefully we can secure some of those other T100 offers.
Always reaching for the banner.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:44 PM |
Depends...
Depends...
His ranking likely depends on this summer 7-on-7 and camp performances more than anything. DLS stats won't affect his ranking to the national guys like other exposure.
Hey, at least we know he'll do well on the ESPN rankings now that he's chosen the UA game haha.

With our commit and the interest from the rest of the targets, I'd be very surprised if we didn't land at least 5 from the top 100. If they get one of the TEs (Butt or Breneman), one of the Illinois lineman (Pocic or Bosch...you could even throw a Chris Fox from Colorado in there) and they get one of the LBs they want (Levenberry, O'Daniel, or Kalambayi), they're set. It would be icing on the cake if they got someone like Sua Cravens or Kendall Fuller. Oh and that's not mentioning wide receivers like Foster and Treadwell.
It's early, but I feel really good about where this class can go.

I can't say this with 100% confidence, but I do know that Logan cut off discussing his recruitment with the pay sites for about a month or so for a while. I've wondered if that's why he seems to be moving down certain boards before moving up. His fall from 37th to 84th (correct me if wrong) in the latest 247 Rankings I believe are a product of this. WIth the offers he's gotten and the schools that continue to call him, I don't see how he's not one of the top 100 players in the country.

On a related note, and I cannot explain this whatsoever: I watched an interview of Ty Isaac and as soon as I saw him without a helmet, I thought, "This guy actually looks like he would go to Notre Dame."
What about this interview makes me think Notre Dame? Pessimism?

Rivals did not have a midwest recruiting analyst up until about 6 months ago, when they promoted Hemholdt. This year, the midwest has better representation, and better than the usual talent (Michigan is a little down on depth, but Ohio and Illinois are absolutely loaded).

I have no idea on what plannet, Rivals thinks Max Browne is better than Shane Morris. That kids mechanics are a nightmare, his delivery looks like he's playing dodgeball. He gets happy feet too often, and his numbers are inflated. He has Rick Mirer written all over him.

Also, regarding Dymonte Thomas:
Josh Helmholdt: Alliance (Ohio) Marlington safety Dymonte Thomas is one of the fastest players in the Midwest for 2013, and overall an outstanding athlete. As a junior, though, he mostly played close to the line of scrimmage and we did not get a chance to see much of him in coverage. So, we did not get too bullish on his ranking until we were able to more thoroughly assess his coverage skills.

No other recruiting site
No other recruiting site
No other recruiting site seems to think of Tyrone Swoopes as highly, I woner what they see in him. His offer list isn't stellar either, I know it's early, but it's not even comparable to LTT's who is MIA from this list.
He's a 6.0 on Rivals - which means he has a great chance to be a 5-star.
