My prediction is 6 Michigan recruits but Shane Morris will be absent. (not really, but srsly I wouldn't be surprised at all)

A few interesting notes:
TomVH reiterated to the WN board "you guys will be happy..."
Also, 15 of 17 commits are now on the watch list, only Shallman and Hill were left off.
Moving Shallman off puzzles me..
April 17th, 2012 at 10:23 AM ^
All of them will be in the top 100. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that our commits will be ranked 1-17, with Shane Morris at #1.
You hate Michigan if you think otherwise.

...that we would have 8 players in the ESPN 150: Shane Morris, all five offensive line recruits, McCray, and Thomas.
However, after reading the scouting reports for each of Michigan current commitments (ESPN has finally posted them for all our players), I have added two more to the list for a total of 10: Taco Charlton and Gareon Conley. Reading both of their reports got me so excited for their futures at Michigan, particularly Conley who has really been under-the-radar at this point. Between his designation as an UA All-American and his scouting report, I believe he'll make the cut.
One guy who probably won't make the cut, but I think will be the sleeper of this class, is Jaron Dukes. The scout who drafted his report stated he was a "more agile and faster version of (2012 Ohio recruit) Dwayne Stanford...and in our opinion more physical." I know that I would've gladly accepted Stanford into the fold last year. A better version of Stanford? Yes, please...

I'd be willing to reconsider if more film of Jaron Dukes becomes available, but at this point, I would pick Stanford over Dukes. I also doubt that Conley will make the list.
EDIT: And I was immediately proved wrong by Conley, who's pretty high on the list. Wow. I'm not sure if I agree with that ranking, but good for him.

So is it just the 150 or do they give out stars as well??
April 17th, 2012 at 11:31 AM ^
According to TomVH, they will give out stars for the ESPN 150 recruits, but that's it.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^
Just came out. Morris #4 QB, highest ranked.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
Has Ben Gedeon as #1 ATH but only an 80 grade, Dymonte #12 ATH so that is obviously off. Only Shallman and Hill not 4 stars. Morris only rated 82, rest are pretty much 80,81.
We have the #1 OG (Dawson), #4 and #5 OG, #10 (or#11 OT Tillman), list just went down.
April 17th, 2012 at 12:02 PM ^
Shane Morris 37
Gareon Conley 63
Mike McCray 75
David Dawson 92
Logan Tuley Tillman 97
Dymonte Thomas 98
Chris Fox 105
Jourdan Lewis 107
Kyle Bosch 112
Taco Charlton 115
Patrick Kugler 121

Thought ESPN loved Shallman...
Whatever though, I was hopeful they'd move Lewis n Conley up so thats good.
April 17th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
unless they classify him as a RB.
April 17th, 2012 at 11:51 AM ^
Thats way lower than what I expected for Morris
