Thanks

Give me MOAR 1000 ranked players. We will coach up and kick some Bucknuts 5* butts.

Call me Ishmail
November 25th, 2022 at 12:38 PM ^
"Ishmael Joe"? Sounds too mushy.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:40 PM ^
Tell me all about the two types of chowder they have at the the inn again. Take as much time as you need.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
I have never heard of him but he seems to be a great deal like Jason Hewlett who will also hopefully be committing soon. If these are what our LBs are going to start looking like I am all for it!
November 25th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
Seems like we've put out a bunch of offers recently to Ohio risers after their senior years. Hewlett's ranking shows that but we'll see what happens with Ishmail's
November 25th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
2023 Athlete, 6-4, 220 lbs.
Allen Trieu thinks he's an outside linebacker.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
More kids from Ohio. Need to establish a pipeline. Welcome to UM Ishmail.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
What propulsion system for this Ishmail?
November 25th, 2022 at 3:00 PM ^
No doubt he’ll he rocketing up the rankings
November 25th, 2022 at 12:35 PM ^
Pumped for Breeon and go blue!
Side note… do we have any reason to believe 2024 will be a major turn around from an objectively underwhelming 2023 class? At some point you’d expect the NFL stuff to have diminishing impacts and the new recruiting coordinator to find his groove… but we not exactly capitalizing on a historically GREAT run by our team when it comes to recruiting impact.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:38 PM ^
If Jaydn Davis commits early as is being predicted, probably?
November 25th, 2022 at 12:54 PM ^
Unless we have another offseason where everything that could go wrong does—Harbaugh for a time seems like he’s 100% gone to the NFL, lose both the OC and the DC, lose both our recruiting coordinators, not having an early 5 star commit like JJ or Will Johnson to lead and unite a class—the recruiting experts at the paid sites believe 2024 will be back to our normal Harbaugh class of right inside or outside the top 10. Especially if can land Jadyn Davis who sounds like he wants to commit at the conclusion of his football season.
November 25th, 2022 at 6:26 PM ^
This is so real. I think it’s actually taken me this long and 11-0 to have enough space to be able to approach this as balanced as you just did. Everything that could have gone wrong absolutely did.
November 25th, 2022 at 1:05 PM ^
I do think 2024 will be a good class. We're in a great spot with Jadyn Davis, 4* LB Mason Curtis committed, commit Manuel Beigel reportedly had conditional Bama offer, in a great spot with 4* OL Luke Hamilton, in a good spot with Davis' teammates Channing Goodwin and Jordan Shipp, and we're hitting Ohio pretty hard in 2024
November 25th, 2022 at 1:16 PM ^
Looks like Nyckoles Harbor is still in play. One of the Miami (YTM) sites says Jason Taylor & Ed Reed are his lead recruiters. #oof
November 25th, 2022 at 1:36 PM ^
Harbor is 2023
November 25th, 2022 at 12:36 PM ^
His highlights look like they are all WR. He doesn't seem especially fast, maybe they want him as a TE?
November 25th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
He's going to be a linebacker.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:37 PM ^
Hell yeah!!!
November 25th, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
Michigan is #3 in America and Harbaugh has a proven record of success and sending guys to the NFL, but we're still taking low ranked "under-the-radar" guys. It just feels like Michigan is in a position to aim higher. Yes, I'm a dick about this.
November 25th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
User name so checks out.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:51 PM ^
Welcome, Breeon! Start tackling anything that is red.
November 25th, 2022 at 12:55 PM ^
Careful on your travels north through that shit state Ish. Don't get Munsoned out there.
November 25th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
Awesome news. We seem to develop 3 star guys into top tier players better than developing the high 4 star 5 star guys. Green bros, Barrett, Schoon, Haskins, Bell, DJ Turner, Sainristil, Paye, Khaleke, Uche. All 3 stars, all big time contributors. I trust the staff if they see something that they can develop.
November 25th, 2022 at 1:10 PM ^
Good to see Ohio kids increasingly open to coming up here again. Winning cures all.
November 25th, 2022 at 1:36 PM ^
huh? theyre getting guys like all, moore, etc without legit osu interest. good players though not massive recruiting battles. maybe im missing something but doesnt appear much has changed
November 25th, 2022 at 1:10 PM ^
Confident that this coaching staff will prove these rankings wrong!
November 25th, 2022 at 1:48 PM ^
Great, another under the radar recruit. Why can’t we capitalize on our incredible 2 year run? Recruit rankings do matter. I’m all for a few flier recruits each cycle but this class is particularly underwhelming when taking their rankings into account. I’m assuming with the current climate it’s come more down to our NIL ineptitude than anything else. I mean Harbaugh has said as much that Michigan won’t go all in with NIL which has caused him significant frustration with the higher ups.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Significant frustration with higher ups? Proof?
November 25th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
I remember he mentioned this several months ago from an article I read. And the visceral reaction I had to the regents constantly taking the high road to the detriment of the football team. The game has changed so much in the last year with NIL, we better get our shit together or we’ll be left in the dust sooner than anyone on here realize. Though it seems many on here seem completely fine to go back to a top 15-20 team.
November 25th, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
Michigan got to this point with classes in the 10-15 range. They are on track to do that in ‘24.
We all know this class is subpar. Bitching about it does no good.
November 25th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Juwan Howard? Harbaugh has always seemed to be right in line with Warde downplaying the significance of NIL like by bringing up Michigan's transformational over transactional experience as a major selling point to recruits. If you happen to come across that article again, I'd love to see it. Would definitely please me if Harbaugh changed his tune on NIL at some point.
November 25th, 2022 at 2:10 PM ^
If recruiting was everything TEXAS A&M would be winning the CHAMPIONSHIP today without playing one down. Keep gazing.
GO BLUE
November 25th, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
This is such a dumb reply. A&M has been top 10 last few years. The #1 class they just signed are all freshmen. Would not be surprised to see them in the championship convo in another 1-2 years. This isn’t some esoteric controversial topic that requires a counter argument. It’s been objectively hashed out in every possible way. Generally speaking, RANKINGS MATTER.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
A&M is absolutely horrible even with those good classes. Development matters/
November 25th, 2022 at 4:23 PM ^
Dude sit down. Just look at where bama, Georgia, and Ohio st landed on the recruiting rankings the last 3 years…
November 25th, 2022 at 5:01 PM ^
Dude sit down he mentioned A&M.
November 25th, 2022 at 2:33 PM ^
Welcome to the Squad, Breeon! We develop talent!!
November 25th, 2022 at 4:24 PM ^
Definitely need LBs welcome to Ann Arbor
November 25th, 2022 at 9:53 PM ^
UM staff seems to be prioritizing matchup/situation advantages rather than total package or stars at many positions. Ishmail and Hewlet are rangy, athletic guys who can develop into pass rush specialists or coverage anomalies as LBs. Minter can rotate them into the game as necessary and dominate in packages.
ishmail has some common elements with Simmons from Clemson - who was a rangy 3* that returned into a defensive star.
