Per Tremendous:
Newly minted five-star DB Leon McQuay tells me when he's likely to visit Ann Arbor again: bit.ly/PrCdVt
— Steve Lorenz (@TremendousUM) August 20, 2012
The last two spots seem to be being held for a combination of Treadwell and either Green and McQuay, which would give us two more 5-star players (assuming Treadwell get's the bump, as he is currently the highest ranked four star player) to add to our already spectacular 2013 class.
That's Tremendous news!

I'm not getting my hopes up like I did last year with
Garnett and Kozan, we still have a long way to go until signing day.

Why did you get your hopes up
Why did you get your hopes up with Kozan? He never really wanted to come here and whatever quotes were out there on him weren't glowing towards Michigan. Especially when juxtaposed to Garnett (which I think was the "shocker" of the 2012 class).

Kozan
That's not true. He wanted to be a pre-admit to Ross. Coach Hoke didn't have the authority over the business school's admissions department to get him in so he chose Auburn for a guaranteed spot in their business school.
I bleed blue.

Garnett was never going to come east
after his twin sister accepted a scholarship (debating?) to a private California college.
5 star DB? Yes please.

I thought around the BBQ the thought was that FSU replaced Michigan in Leon's top 3?

From Sam Webb's article. Not that I'm complaining, though, Leon supposedly lit it up @ Gridiron Kings..
We were replaced after the
We were replaced after the BBQ becuase I think the coaches told him that there might not be a spot for him if he sticks to his timeline.

Personally, I'll be happy if
Personally, I'll be happy if one of the three is part of the class. That said I doubt we get any of them. Last two spots will probably go towards the Dennis Norfleet/Willie Henry/Drake Johnson "we really like your Senior film" memorial scholarship awards and I am more than happy with that as I think grabbing a couple of sleepers/late risers is just good business anyway.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized.
"Doubt" he says. Even if none
"Doubt" he says. Treadwell has consistently claimed Michigan as his #1 and has yet to change his stance on that matter, and it seems the only competition we have for Green is Auburn (also must note that Dawson has tweeted consistently that he thinks Green is coming to Michigan, most recent being this weekend). AND Mcquay, the only dude who doesn't have Michigan is his top three (who did before we sort of told him we were full at the moment), well... his top 3 is currently USC (presumably full at 18), Vandy (5 DB commits), and FSU (the team who replaced Michigan). I think that of the three, McQuay is the least likely to commit, but I still think there's a pretty good shot at that one, especially since he is planning on an official to Michigan per Tremendous today.
That being said, I agree with everything else.

Hoke needs to dangle the
Hoke needs to dangle the number 2 jersey in front of him again, and advise him that he is a bigger, stronger, faster, and more versatile version of Woodson. In fact, maybe Woodson can be on campus that day to tell him that himself.

I'd be happy with McQuay
I'd be happy with McQuay instead of Green. We already have two running backs in this class, and only one safety. Also, if it looks like RB is thin and safety is too full, Dymonte can move to RB no prob. Adding a 5 star safety would make our defense dominant in a few years, to where we'd hardly need a running back.
I don't ever see Dymonte
I don't ever see Dymonte playing RB in college, at least not on a regular basis; He's just too tall and lanky, doesn't have the prototypical RB physique, plus he has a defensive mentality. I think his meal ticket is on defense. He has a chance to be a great safety at M.
I know Dymonte is an excellent HS running back, but, to be frank, He ain't Hoke's type at RB.
Charles Woodson was a phenomenal RB in HS, but like Dymonte Thomas, his heart was on defense, also his body type wasn't built for the rigors of the RB position. I'm not saying Charles or Dymonte couldn't play college RB, but long term, they're both better served on D.
He's
He's not talking about Dymonte, he's talking about Smith and Shallman.
Practice makes perfect. Unless you're the Buckeyes. Then you have to cheat.
He specifically said "Dymonte
He specifically said "Dymonte can move to RB."
Yes, I definitely meant
Yes, I definitely meant Dymonte Thomas when I said "Dymonte." Should have been more clear, I suppose.
Although he could be a very good safety, I think he could be a great RB as well, and he's not that much smaller than a prototypical Hoke RB (if he was, he'd be too small for safety as well). I expect DT to be 205 to 210 when he sees the field for us.
Derp
I'm dumb

I think that Treadwell/Baily
I think that Treadwell/Baily is the biggest need, and after that, I would gladly take anyone from the Mathis/Green/McQuay group.
Some Auburn guys
on the Rivals board were saying that they expect Green to commit to Auburn at half time of his next game. I don't think its true (at least I hope not) but take it fwiw.
I guess it's something to
I guess it's something to keep an eye on, but honestly I doubt it. Fan boards have a penchant to jump the gun on those kind of things. Except MGoBlog, we would never do that.
