The ESPNU Top 100 has been released....QB Shane Morris is a five-star, DB Dymonte Thomas a four-star: http://es.pn/yrjSll
Not an insider on ESPN but TomVH also mentions that there are a plethora of Michigan targets on the list
damnit was just going to hit
I counted five 5 Star QBs
Interesting since I don't think ESPN has any 5 star QBs in the 2012 class.
You are right, they only gave
You are right, they only gave out 11 5 stars this year.

no LTT
Is it a surprise Logan isn't on this list with that offer sheet he has already?
Phil Brabbs FTW
It is great to have Shane in
It is great to have Shane in the fold so early. Knowing that he has been in the ears of so many top recruits about coming to play with him in AA is great. Hoping to land a couple of big time recievers to go with him in the 2013 class. Although I can't wait to get this kid in a winged helmet, there isn't another player in college I would want keeping his spot then DRob. Go Blue!

I paid 10.49 for a 3 year subscription
It was on discountmags. I used the coupon code MAGS. I just checked and its 13.49 a year which is really high. Keep an eye on slickdeals.net, people post deals on here too.
Phil Brabbs FTW
Any other M recruits
of note on the list?
about half the list
But in all seriousness, it is littered with UM prospects. (both offerees and serious interest)
Give it a day or two to let NSD settle down and i'm sure Magnus will have it broken down for you.
Thanks
I am particularly interested in Taco Carlton as he seems like a kid who could drop for Michigan at any moment - perhahps on his upcoming unofficial visit. I get the sense he will be a low 4-star/ high 3-star type. Probably bigger fish out there, but you can't quantify the fact that he's a kid from a Ohio that desperately wants to go to Michigan. That always counts for something in my book.
Nope.
No Taco on ESPN's list
Besides Shane/Dymonte...
Kendall Fuller - 5 Star
Ethan Pocic - 5 Star
Kyle Bosch - 4 Star
Laremy Tunsil - 5 Star
Cameron Dillard - 4 Star
Robert Foster - 4 Star
Ty Isaac - 4 Star
EJ Levenberry - 4 Star
Dorian O'Daniel - 4 Star
Henry Poggi - 4 Star
Jaylon Smith - 4 Star
Chris Fox - 4 Star
Five Stars
ESPN made Morris a 5 star because he committed to the UA game. So don't expect Rivals to give him 5 stars.
Michigan Football- What you gonna do when hokemania RUNS wild over you?
or it could be that he is
or it could be that he is just really good.
He is really good, but as
He is really good, but as dumb as it sounds this is the politics of recruiting now.

Steve Elmer
Anyone know the story with Steve Elmer? In state recruit has already committed to Notre Dame?
I believe he was at the UTL
I believe he was at the UTL game along with all of the other recruits and found himself pulling for the Irish over the course of the game. I guess he figured if he was pulling for ND in that enivronment then that is where he needs to go.
Go Blue!
Honestly I expected ESPN to
Honestly I expected ESPN to rate Shane Morris a 3 star.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
Best Recruit?
Quizztavious Flufferberry! 6'2'' 215 pound LB from Alpharetta, GA.
That is a made-up name.
I went a little
overboard with the last name.
ESPN is the last place I
ESPN is the last place I would willingly put my money in. I'll stick with Rivals....don't need to support the SEC more than ESPN already does
Ever notice how everytime ND upgrades their stadium, it still looks like the Big House? The 2015 artist rendering is no different...Go Blue
I don't...
I don't like supporting ESPN, but being fair - doesn't Rivals lack a midwest recruiting analyst?
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
Mike Farell is their
Mike Farell is their "midwest" analyst, but he also analyzes the nation and the Atlantic East
Ed: oh and josh helmholdt also
Immigration papers for entry into #hokenation; COMPLETE!!!!!!
I wonder if him already
I wonder if him already committing to UA game has anything to do with this.... Not that I don't think Morris is a phenomenal looking prospect and deserving of a 5th star
Nice to see we already have
Nice to see we already have two quality 2013 recruits.
OT: I subscribe to ESPN the Mag, does that mean I get free insider access on ESPN.com?
yeah isn't that the only
yeah isn't that the only reason anyone would subscribe to the mag? I don't think I've read a single issue of my 2 year for $4 bucks subscription
Demetrius Stinson
Look at this kid out of Detroit, why isnt Michigan recruiting him?
Do you know that they
Do you know that they aren't? He doesn't have an offer, but there are a lot of 2013 guys that M is recruiting but haven't offered yet.
Also, it might depend on what position he plays. We might not need another sub-5'9" RB, and if we do I'd guess Berkley Edwards has the upper leg at this point. But if Stinson can play CB, who knows.
I count 26 5-star players on
I count 26 5-star players on the list, including 5 QBs. There are only 11 total 5-stars on ESPN this year, none of whom are QBs. Therefore, either ESPN is very bullish on the class of 2013, or these players should be considered only the likely pool from which the 5-stars will be drawn.
where's Logan Tuley-Tillman?
where's Logan Tuley-Tillman? all the good stuff i here about him, you'd think he'd be in there...
Let me start off by saying
Let me start off by saying that I think very highly of LTT, but what do I know.
I think 247 was very bullish when the came out and rated him the #38(??) prospect in the nation. I think it was based on all the interest he was getting from top schools (UM, ND, ohio, Bama, etc.).
Since then they have dropped him down to #84 in the nation, which is still very good.
My guess is that ESPN hasn't watched tape on him or don't know enough about him. It is ESPN after all.

We'll see, but a kid with
We'll see, but a kid with early offers from that group should certainly be a top-100 recruit. Hell, a kid with thos offers in December should be top-100. And it sounds like USC will be throwing their name into the hat with him soon, and with their recent OL haul and limited spots, that will mean a lot.
I put more stock into offers
I put more stock into offers than stars given out by recruiting services. It just so happens that better offer sheets usually mean more stars.
I just think this is a classic example of ESPN not actually doing their job in scouting a kid. It is obvious that coaches that get paid lots of money have identified LTT to be a blue chip prospect.
