6'5", 205 lbs, ESPN150 Watch List, 4* #6 TE to Scout.

Good pickup. Either Thompson or he should be a great receiving option. Also Sparty's gonna be pissed. A lot of them feel as if the FHH trio were all bound for them.

EDIT: and A.J. Williams...

6'6", 260 lbs, 3* #15 TE to Scout.

Solid pickups at TE, filling bot the receiving and blocking molds the coaches wanted.

You think Sparty fans are starting to realize/worry, with Brady here we are going to own Michigan recruiting again?  Or do they still have a solid choke hold?

They only ever had a chokehold on in-state recruiting in their warped and twisted minds.

I've seen them try and rationalize Braden and RJS coming here. But I'm personally looking forward to seeing how they spin this one. What with FHH being an "MSU feeder school" and all three of them being Lansing-bound...

and here:

http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Board/93/MSU-offers-Funchess-1283231/1

but sounds like they weren't surprised by this, and they now think Ojemudia is a Mich lean as well. They are realllllllllly hoping they get Burbridge, if we get him that one will sting for sure.

In twos

Our commits really do come in pairs this year.  Two O-Linemen within a day of each other, then two linebackers within a day of each other.  Now two tight ends on the same day.

Great news.  Welcome to both.

Are we not getting Ron Thompson anymore then? I'm glad we got one of the Farmington Hills guys so far though, hopefully he can bring in Mario O and Aaron Burbridge. Both look like good tight ends, AJ is 6'6" I wonder if he runs well.

possibly moving to the offensive line.

That would make room for Thompson, I think.

I really couldn't find any video on AJ, but from what I found he appears to be more of a blocking TE which is possibly why he doesn't have more offers/ranked higher.

This is correct. The staff

This is correct. The staff have told him he'll be a TE but he could end up on the OL. No matter where he ends, he's being brought in as a blocking TE.

Funchess on the other hand could be a big WR if the staff wanted.

Great news! Funchess is a great prospect and has some good looking teammates.

Where does this leave Ron Thompso? Are we looking to take three TE in this class?

Well,

With the relative lack of Tight Ends on the roster and the recent opening of a scholarship with the departure of Cullen Christian, I would not be surprised to see 3 TEs taken in this class, especially given the caliber of all three of them.

Michigan will take Thompson.

Michigan will take Thompson. Funchess is a TE/WR hybrid. He will play both according to him.

Ron Thompson has always been a HEAVY Michigan lean, and has almost committed to us in the past. Also, the coaches have stated that they would have no problem taking three TEs this year.

I don't think it's crazy to think that one of these tight ends could end up as a wide receiver. I miss seeing the bigger and taller wide receivers we've seen in the past. However, AJ Williams is as big as a house. I'd leave him at TE.

Funchess is already 6'5" 200+lbs. as a junior. Put him in an S&C program and he could probably get up to 240-250 without trouble.

It would take quite a bit of beefing up to add 40-50 lbs. to a frame. It's possible on a 6'5" frame but Junior Hemingway is 6'1" 225 lbs. Our S & C program could mold Funchess anyway they want. I wouldn't hesitate to pluck another TE.

I would love to see Funchess molded into a beast WR.  I think I read he has a 4.6 right now in the 40, sick the S&C coach on him, make him bigger/faster/stronger...boom...beast mode.  But either way, glad to have him!

No, but since the coaches have said they will take 3 TE's this year, and two just committing, it could trigger a commitment from someone like Ron Thompson to ensure he has his spot.

I don't know if it's his recruiting strategy or just the way things worked out so far, but I really like Hoke's style of going hard after recruits early in the process.

With the third set of

With the third set of position commitments pledging in pairs, it's possible that's not a coincidence.  It could be indicative of a relatively common recruiting strategy that's employed to varying degrees at most programs across the country:  "we have two TE spots this year, and I just wanted to let you know that one was filled this afternoon.  If you want a spot in this class, it's now or never; I'm going to make this same phone call to five other guys after you, but wanted to give you the first crack at it." 

This is a high-pressure sale that can be very effective; one potential drawback whenever the stratagem is employed is an increased risk of decommitments down the road (e.g. guys who were leaning Blue but not completely sure pull the trigger to reserve a spot but may not have finished their soul-searching).

I have no idea whether or to what degree Michigan is employing similar pressure tactics, and I don't think anyone in our class so far is going to decommit, but it's something to consider. 

That said, welcome Funchess and Williams.  Best decision you'll ever make!

Hard to say right now. Apparently the staff have told Funchess he could play some WR and if that's true, they might want a 3rd TE anyway.

Combined with Williams

Combined with Williams potentially switching to OT down the road, a 3rd TE is likely, especially since the coaches have mentioned that number.

Pairs

I really want to get Diamond's and Thompson's commitments but if we had to take a position pair next I'd like (in my dream order):

1. O'Brien & Day - DT

2. Wormley & Godin (or Ojemudia) - DE

3. Diggs & Burbridge - WR

4. Ross & Bolden - LB

5. Two safeties?

6. Diamond & Denman (or Pirsig) - OL

7. Richardson & Morgan (or Reeves) - CB

Haha, I definitely wouldn't mind one of them unless Morris somehow commits to us this year. As for RB, I think that priority is on the backburner unless one of the following happens (again in order of my dreams):

1. Dunn decommits from Tsio for us :)

2. Marshall commits

3. Brown comes in a package with Diggs

Deon Bush is also listed as a safety on Rivals.  However I believe the consensus is that he most likely won't leave the south, although I could be completely wrong on that.  Magnus would probably know better, I think i remember him mentioning something like that in a previous thread.

Just another thought on Williams...

At 260 lb, he is FORTY POUNDS heavier than Omameh was at the same point...kind of gives you a little perspective.  This guy is either going to move to the OL...or be a monster 290 lb TE.  Both are intriguing...actually.

As for Thompson, how can he commit?  Unless we take two more TE, it seems we only take commits in pairs...

The best thing about this recruiting strategy is the degree to which it neutralizes one of our three top rivals. RR's wanderlust created an opening for

MSU. Now Sparty is screwed.

Ron Thompson is probably....

Ron Thompson is probably wondering what just happen... I think with Funchess and Williams commiting it should help expedite Thompson's decision. He doesn't have the luxury to drag his feet anymore... Either way I think we take Thompson if he commits because I believe he has the better hands of the group.

GO BLUE!

Great to see both of them here

Personally, I hope the rest of the class finishes out something like 5 OL, 4 LB, 3 TEs, 1 RB, 1 QB, 1 WR, 2 DTs, 2 DEs, 1 DB

We have some flexibility with 5th year Seniors and such, if we had more room I would bring in another DB or two. Just my ideas.

Breakdown of who I want:
OL- Ben Braden, Caleb Stacey, Jordan Diamond, 2 others
LB- Royce, Ross, Ringer, Bolden
TE- Funchess, Williams, Thompson
RB- Keith Marshall or Wes Brown
WR- Anyone but Stefon Diggs would be who I want, package him with Wes Brown at RB and we've got ourselves two phenomenal players and a new pipeline
QB- Robert Gregory (Should bring in Diamond with him)
DT- Godin, O'Brien
DE- Wormley, Mario Ojemudia
DB-Terry Richardson
