I respect his coach and
I respect his coach and family wanting him to take it slow, but we might only take two receivers in this class, and with Sugar Shane (and our coaching staff) recruiting a lot of top players, those spots won't last forever. I think Dukes is a good player, but I don't know if he's a "we'll save a spot for you no matter how long you wait" type of player.

I'd be surprised if they only took 2 WRs in this class.

But only a little surprised,
But only a little surprised, right? When you look at the breakdown, if we take a class of 22, that's one guy per spot on O and D. If we take three receivers in 2013, that means there are other position groups where we'd have to take fewer.
I doubt we take fewer than 4 DL, or fewer than 4 DBs, or fewer than 5 OL if we don't get Kozan. We have one QB (and we might take another), we'll take 2 RBs and 2 TEs. That's 18, which leaves room for 2 WR and 2 LBs, assuming we don't take a second QB. We might take 3 WRs, but I'm not sure where we get the other spot from unless the class grows above 22. Which it certainly may.

Is it still going to be a 22
Is it still going to be a 22
Is it still going to be a 22 person class with us missing out on the last week of recruiting 2012?
Id imagine the number will be closer to 25.

If we don't get Kozan, it
If we don't get Kozan, it
If we don't get Kozan, it starts at 17. We have a couple guys who might not get 5th years, but not more than a couple. So it could be higher than 22, but probably not by too much.

If you assume 2 non-renewed
If you assume 2 non-renewed
If you assume 2 non-renewed 5th years, expecting only 3 guys to leave the program in a year is pretty optimistic. I'm not sure how many we're averaging every year, but it's certainly higher than 3.

Couldn't 4 OL be sufficient
Couldn't 4 OL be sufficient
Couldn't 4 OL be sufficient with the number we took this year plus the two monstrous walkons we've taken in the last two classes? Seems to me with that many young guys, as long as you keep filling the line with 4 more guys each year the depth issue will be solved pretty quickly. I don't know much about this though. I'm just curious.

Walk-ons contribute so rarely
Walk-ons contribute so rarely
Walk-ons contribute so rarely that you don't even want to count them. And taking 4 in 2012 isn't a lot considering we took two and zero in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We need 5, but I'd take 6 if we can find enough good ones.

Who pays anymore?
Who pays anymore?
I think this fits hoke's requirement of a "fanatical" approach to recruiting guys who are Michigan Men. Kids like this with love for the program are exactly the type we need. All be it few and far between that they are this open about it and shed their ego's, this gives me great hope for 2013 wr core. As always, tremendous another reason i don't have to pay for any info.

Thanks Aqua! Keep up the great work! Also, Jaron sounds like a great kid. Like others have said, I love getting talented, tall WR's, but I love it even more when they truly have a love for Michigan like Jaron. Go BLUE!

Seems ridiculous to me that they're making him wait to commit. If they're talking about waiting for a week or so, ok. But any longer than that seems stupid given how much he has always loved the school.

Nobody is making him wait, his coach simply told him not to allow emotion decide his choice for him. He wants to come back and look at the facts. That's a smart way to do it.

It must be amazing to go to your dream school and just lay on the field. I really hope we get him. Taking him out of Columbus would be great. Great work Aquaman. As usual.
