Nice to see Kyle getting some love on a national stage . . . feels like its been a while since a class has had this much pub.
Also making the list:
Jordan Diamond, and several other former Michigan targets.

Never heard of the two in-state kids
Larkins is a Toledo commit; Ricketts holds MAC offers. Just thought it was interesting.

It's been an interesting
It's been an interesting recruiting year. It seems like when Rodriguez was here, everyone thought "Will such-and-such mediocre recruit get offered?" Now that Hoke is here and seems to be going after better talent nationally (and not just in Florida), these second- and third-tier recruits aren't even discussed.
Ruben Lile from Cass Tech? Eh, nobody cared that he's headed to Iowa. Stephon Hall? Who's he? Evan Winston out of Muskegon has barely generated a peep on Michigan message boards.
I don't think there's any question that Hoke's approach to recruit has changed Michigan fans' attitudes.

Maty Mauk
made the list as well.
Saw him play footbal and basketball this year. Kid has zero conscience. He will throw or shoot to/from anywhere.

That's one reason I'm glad he's headed to Missouri.

Pretty sure it should be
Pretty sure it should be Prescott Line, not Lane. Stinks for the kid that they couldn't get his name right. His brother was a bit of a miss for Rodriguez. Would be the big back that Hopkins hasn't been. I can't help but wonder if the younger brother will be another one that should've gotten a better look.

Great for Kalis, but...
how in the #[email protected]%& do they pick this team? A lot of big names missing. And who is Nathan Ricketts? Hard to believe they have him as the best LB in MI with Biggs and RJS.

Ricketts has a few offers and
Ricketts has a few offers and has (unofficially) visited Michigan. He's actually a pretty decent player who's been putting up good numbers since his sophomore year. I don't think he's better than James Ross, but he's no slouch.

Not a bad list,
but looks like that's actually a rough draft as they left out Darboh at WR, Bolden, RJS and Ross at LB, Magnuson/Pipkens for lineman, and Richardson and Wilson as DB's.

Anyone notice where the kicker is from?
Goochland, VA. Sorry, the market is killing me today, I needed a chuckle.

Please don't make fun of Justin Verlander's hometown
Unless you were actually trying to upset Justin Verlander.

Barkley Hill is a guy
Barkley Hill is a guy Michigan should have taken a look at IMO. Big kid who I think is just as viable of an option as Drake Johnson.

OT: Garnett
I cant start a topic, but since this is about lineman, I figured that I'd put it here... I'm interviewing for a medical residency position at Stanford today and just walked past Josh Garnett on his tour of the medical school and hospital. I have him a quiet "Go blue" and got a big grin from him and his father...
I know.... "Cool Story Bro"...
