Depends if anyone else leaves, but I'd be inclined to say there will be more and if so we can do both.

Agree. Plus, none of these 3 tight ends seems like a lock to stay at the position, so it's not necessarily true that we'd be getting 3 TEs.

Putting the O/U at 4
Just a hunch after seeing some pretty unhappy players coming off of the field after the spring game.

Hard to say right now.
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.

M has been in the driver's seat for quite some time. The Funchess commitment was certainly more surprising.

So which position group...
will 2 rucruits from the same position group commit to UofM, within a day or two of each other? (So far 2 - OL, 2 - LB, 2 - TE)

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!

God observes that Michigan
God observes that Michigan football is corrupted with short slot dots and decides to destroy all remains of spread football. But Hoke "was a righteous man, blameless in his generation, [and] Hoke walked with God," and God gives him instructions for the ark, into which he is told to bring "two of every sort [of 4* smash mouth, pro-style football players]...and so it was done.
Then God established his covenant with Hoke and Borges and Mattison and with all UM assistants, and places the rainbow in the clouds, "the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all Michigan Men on the earth."

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
