Curt Mallory heading to New Jersey on a recruiting trip

 

 Steve Wiltfong 
 
Speaking of Michigan assistant coach Curt Mallory, sounds like he'll go see a five-star prospect tomorrow.

The article is a premium link, but if you think for a quick second, it's not that difficult to figure out where he's going. 
 
1.) He's the secondary coach
2.) He's our east coast recruiting coach
 
While it's possible he's visiting a number of recruits, Yuri Wright fits the bill for this perfectly. He's a 5 star on 247, and he's the only 5 star defensive player left on the board, with Michigan high on his list.

I hate hate HATE how we are going to have to turn down so many 4-stars.... First world problem, I guess. Once Hoke and his staff realize their true recruiting potential (i.e. next year) I don't think we will be in this situation again, I think this year they didn't expect to do super well so they loaded up on prospects early, plenty of whom were 3 stars. Like I said though, first world problems.

The coaching staff looks at the players potiential. They could care less how many stars they are. The stars mean nothing, they are only an opinion of some area scout who watched a highlight video or game. The coaches learn the personallity and can measure how much drive the player is. Stars dont mean anything.

Just out of curiosity, who do you think the coaches wouldn't have taken? Not every player the coaches like is going to get four stars, and no school has all four stars in a class. I think the coaches knew what they were doing.

Recruiting is a gamble like that. You can take player X and risk not having a spot for a better guy, or you can pass on player X and not have a guy as good come February. I'm happy with how the coaches handle it.

After listening to everything Hoke has said about expectations since day one, how can you think they didn't expect to do so well?  And just look at the discrepancies between the different services to see that there is clearly a lot of wiggle room among probably the top 3 or 4 hundred players.

I hope Coach Mallory can work some magic on Yuri. While I realize it really doesn't mean anything unless the class turns out well in 4-5 years, it would be nice to pick up Yuri and a few other good recruits to round out our class with a #1 or 2 ranking. It might show the class of 2013 that Michigan is back on the field and on the recruiting trail.
