Arnett & Thomas Make 1st Edition of 2011 Scout 100
Arnett is currently Scout's #1 WR in the country. It would be huge to pick up these 2, though we're probably on the outside looking in for Thomas right now.

Nice. The list is in alphabetical order, so that's why Arnett pops up first for WRs. Still, he's going to be a big time prospect. Landing Thomas would be nice since he's a MLB, but since he goes to Detroit Renaissance HS, I highly doubt he'll come to UM.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:27 PM ^
He's the #1 WR because they're listed in aphabetical order. Thanks for the heads up though.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:29 PM ^
I could be wrong but I think thats just the order of the alphabet. I don't see any specific rankings other than the 100?
EDIT:
beat me to it. not trying to be a redundant dick face
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:35 PM ^
Call me crazy, but I think it's in alphabetial order.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
Also of note for us, LB Trey DePriest and CB Doran Grant.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
I was a bit hopeful and wanted to see Greg Brown or Demetrius Hart on that list. But they are not there (yet?).
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:40 PM ^
If I remember correctly a year ago, Devin Gardner was not a Top100 player either.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:43 PM ^
Ricardo Miller and Marvin Robinson WERE top 100 players at this time last year though.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:43 PM ^
The list is in double reverse alphabetical order. I am not surprised to be the only one to notice this. You know, because I am so smart.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:44 PM ^
That's a little surprising.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:49 PM ^
I'm most surprised by the fact that Stanford already has commitments from 3 of the players on that list, more than any other school at this point. You just have to wonder if their coach will still be there when they enroll in 2011.

I.E. Tai-ler Jones.

Shhhhhhhhhhh. Dont feed the dragon.
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:26 PM ^
You wouldn't also go by the name tomhagan would you Farnn?
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:02 PM ^
No, I'm strongly in the RR camp. I'm just impressed by how well Harbaugh has done with the Stanford program and I get the feeling he plans to move on to either a major program or the NFL in the near future. With his big wins this season he's got to be a desired target for many down programs.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:53 PM ^
Demetrius Hart is a great player regardless of whether he's on the list or not. That kid can flat-out move. If he weren't a midget, he'd probably be on there.
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:50 PM ^
was great in Arrested Development but I don't know how he will be as a wide receiver. Hopefully better than he was at magic.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 PM ^
If you make a reference to Arrested Development you get a +1, that's just how I roll.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
to Arrested Development you deserve +1 as well.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:08 AM ^
If you have a policy of +1ing a +1ing of a reference to Arrested Development you deserve +1 as well.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:24 PM ^
is not coming to Michigan unless hell have frozen.
One player to watch is Hasean Clinton-Dix from DP, a teammate of D-Hart. He will rise up to top 100 and he's the type of athlete that are usually found in elite defense like FL. The good new is he's almost a Michigan lock and should commit to Michigan once he gets an offer.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:29 PM ^
(Insert Lewinsky joke here)
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:38 PM ^
There are lots of 2011 guys "interested" in M on this list
I know it doesnt mean much to be listed in the "schools of interest" on scout, but it appears RR is targeting defense again this year:
5* DT Tim Jernigan
4* WR Arnett
4* DE Jadeveon Clowney
4* MLB Lawrence Thomas
4* CB Doran Grant
4* OLB Trey DePriest
4* WR DaVaris Daniels
4* DE Jalen Grimble
4* S Karlos Williams
4* QB Cristian LeMay
4* QB Braxton Miller
4* DT Kevin McReynolds
4* WR Jarvis Landry
4* OT Christian Westerman
It's early in the process, but all of those guys have Michigan listed in "schools of interest." That seems like a lot of highly rated guys to me... yay
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 PM ^
It says a lot that even after two down years there are still that many top 100 prospects who have interest in our program.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:02 PM ^
Rodriguez wasnt kidding when he said the Block M is the best recruiting tool he has ever had (I dont know if he said "ever," but I seem to recall something to that effect)
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:25 PM ^
that UM was among the first schools to offer many of the players on the list. It shows that RR and coaching staff are doing a good job of evaluating talent. Also happy to see that the majority of players with UM offers were on the defensive side of the ball. It will be necessary to show great promise on the field next year so we can convince the higher ranked defensive recruits to sign.

its looking like its going to be another great year for the talent in the state of michigan. with a good season we could be in for a very, very strong recruiting class. very excited.
