How do you want/think the rest of the recruiting class should be filled?
Want vs think is a big difference here. Walter Nolen is the big target that's left, but I think this class will depend more on landing some other targets. Getting Deone Walker and Dillon Tatum to commit is essential, and missing on either of them will be huge. I want to land Nolen, Delp, and Conerly. I think we will land 1. Pettaway is a bit intriguing with PSU and UNC both having highly ranked RB commits, so I'm really hoping we can get back in the running for him.
I'm betting there will be a slew of decommits across all teams, so it'll be interesting to see if any new names pop up on our target lists.
I would love to see both Lively and Reed don the maize and blue...would make one hell of a front line :)
I want all of them to be Heisman finalists. I think I don't always get what I want.
But sometimes

...that's how I think the rest of the class should be filled.
This is an Ezekiel's Creatures account.
Ewers looks like a professional wrestler--an 80s professional wrestler.
PASS
I agree, CB. And speaking of wrestling, I like to see how those folks in Admissions at TOSU are going to wrestle with his grades at enrollment time.
(Okay, sorry...went too far.)
Negged for 'TOSU'...
With all 5 stars
With all 5 stars man
With all 5 stars!
I feel good about the cornerback position with Will Johnson, Kody Jones and Myles Pollard.
I would like to add another EDGE to pair with Mario Eugenio. Maybe Aaron Alexander can fill this role, I don't know the coaching staff's plan for him.
Alessandro Lorenzetti and Connor Jones look like nice prospects on the offensive line, but I would like to add another tackle or guard.
At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, I think CJ Stokes has the potential to make an impact right away. Him, Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards sounds like an intriguing trio.
Mike DePillo from Clarkston could be an under the radar quarterback to take a chance on, in my opinion. He is only rated as a 2-star prospect by 247Sports and Central Michigan is his only reported offer, but he's a hard runner and has a strong arm downfield. Listed at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds.
with 5 star top 100 prospects that we back the money truck up too
Flip Domani from usc, land Nolen and Connerly, pick up a couple more O lineman and then just whatever fast guys we can get
I think we will make a push for Domani, but he will stay at usc. Probably will make one of those "I'm staying home" videos once signing day comes around. I also think our chances with Nolen are pretty good, but when Alabama wants something they tend to get it.
We should fill the class with Angel Dust
DTs and CBs, that makes a defense. Get a shot ton of them and see who pans out.
A new head coach should be filling it out in December.
My eyes are on inside LB. We need to land Patton now if Cheeks is going elsewhere.
Agreed. I figured this post would be filled with majority sarcasm posts of "All 5 stars" or "All 3* since Harbaugh can't recruit". Do you know what Dillon Tatum is being recruited as?
Patton would be a great get, and Texas has an abundance of talent that we need to start recruiting.
Tatum is being recruited as a safety. Regarding inside LB, seems Spurlock is a plan C for the other two.... and his tape wasn't savory....but this new recruiting staff are ace recruiters across the board save Nua, and one thing I think nobody might be considering at the moment, is that they close out some stars, very late in the cycle, as in, signing day flips.... after all, the prior staff got players on signing day that to us were out of nowhere...so its not far-fetched to think that superior recruiters and closers can flip some late.... I think we will have a very good season, and see some surprise flips.
Agreed. Now it seems that getting the player to sign is more difficult than getting them to commit.
With really good football players???
As of now:
- WR/RB Dillon Bell
- OL Mark Nabou
- DL/OL Deone Walker
- DL Isaiah Hastings
- EDGE Joshua Josephs
- LB Jeremy Patton
- CB Jahlil Florence
- S Dillon Tatum
Another name close is DT Kenneth Grant. He could be a good grab especially if we see Walker more as OL. But one more OL, RB, and S would be nice.
Overall the class isn't too impressive, as it leans too far into scouting finds over sales wins. But with so much negativity around the program and our constantly reshuffling recruiting board, this staff is in a tough spot. It is disappointing we haven't been able to pull a few rabbits out of our hat thus far, but there is still time with guys like Conerly and Nolen.
Does anyone know why M isn't recruiting this kid Michael Williams from West Bloomfield? Doesn't have a M offer listed on 247 but that's all I know so any info is welcome. Just curious. 4 Star LB so you'd think there'd be some interest.
Williams has been injured for a year so nobody has been sure how good he still is. Michigan and others are waiting to see how he's recovered this season.
Ah. Got it, thanks for the info.
Hopefully he's really good and comes to Michigan. ?
