MICHIGAN - c/o 2015 recruiting: Open Thread

Wow. 5 threads started in one minute. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed!

I knew this was your doing.  Thank you. 

This weekend is sorely needed and hopefully we get some good news.

Respect for making non OSU threads

We need a Mcclane!

Go Blue.

with the guys coming in this weekend? any possibility of any committing this weekend?

I think Arrington Farrar would be a solid get and we just offered Rueben Jones a DE commit to Nebraska.  Staff is definatley putting in some serious work.

Until signing day when I will see who signs with us.

would have been solid for Harbaugh to by on the telecast last night, but glad he's working on staff/recruiting stuff. I think we definitely need to pick up another 2 Olinemen and another Dlineman. Roquan would be a ridiculous pick up this late in the game as well.

What is the chances of Marshall committing here ?

I think the staff will finish the class strong. Won't be filled with top guys but instead solid guys that will fill holes and prevent another roster disaster. I think we will get one or two surprises and some teams will be mad at us for taking their players.

Just give me lots of 4 and 5 star kids, with a smattering of 3 star spice. Furthermore, make sure they are actually a better football player at the end of their time at UM than they were when they arrived.

No update on him but I really want him in this class. He's a future AA in my opinion. Of course guys like Clark, Weber, Marshall, etc are huge wants as well.

I have often wondered at what the "bust" rate of highly rated recruits is. I feel like Michigan has to have a higher average than its peers. This is not a critique of these players character, simply their on field performance. Players like T Richardson, Big Will, Derrick Green. Kyle Kalis, and Devon Gardner. At best they were average Big Ten players. At worst they were / are massive disappointments thus far. Some have more chapters left to write. To me it feels like our top 2-3 highest recruits from each of the las 3-4 classes have not made the impact needed to lift UM back to where it could / should be.

Brady Hoke's lack of Signing Day activity drove me crazy. Many elite recruits want to be courted until the very last minute and Hoke never wanted to do that. Saban, Meyer, Stoops, Malzahn and others all play the game. I imagine Harbaugh will pull some victories on signing day and become a closer for us.

42! the southerners can totally handle that! !
