MSU now has the #1 class in 2016. Good thing the game is on!

This is just what was always going to happen this year. Sucks but it's not like the MSU program is going to go away. Let's just have faith in Beilein and the guys we have.

Can't even hate on this class. Pressure will be on them to win it all. It will be interesting to see how Beilein responds on the trail. We've got to reel in some top flight talent soon. Not sure how this momentum shift happened so quickly in recruiting.

I've watched Winston a lot live and I really think it's going to take him a few years to be effective in the Big 10.  He's very skinny.  Similar to Levert but he's not even close to as tall.

Interesting quote from Bridges, basically said he was going to Kentucky because he thought Winston was going to Michigan, when Winston committed to MSU he followed him there, said he commtted to Izzo a few weeks ago.

So basically if we would have gotten Winston, Bridges would have went to Kentucky.  That smarts, twice.

Aren't going to cut it Beilein. If you're going to accept the commits of those guys at least put up more of a fight for prized recruits first. I realize we aren't going to pull in hot shot recruits every year but it would help if there was room on our roster when the commits decide where they want to go. Props to Izzo though, he's built a masterful class.

That we've never gotten those guys. But these last few years we haven't gotten very good classes and it isn't turning around. I'm just saying if another year or two goes by where we don't get any top flight talent we are going to be in serious trouble.

DUDE... We got a good replacement for Winston. If not better replacement by some people. Not to mention the other 4*s we have in that class. Ugh.

We'll

Let's just enjoy this year. After this year, I can't see us really competing with that kind of talent that MSU is pulling in. Beilien can coach, but to keep up, he's going it have to recruit better. Plain and simple.

So Michigan doesn't have 2 four star big men and a four star PG Committed? Man, I coulda swore we had a fantastic recruiting class. I guess not because we all know that if one team gets a good recruiting class, no other team can have one also

Have to give Izzo credit, he was in a major lull but is now recruiting again.  Not sure why we can't reel in higher recruits, especially after outperforming MSU the last 5 years.

Another 5* Izzo recruit who will be there at least 3 years. I am suprised he was willing to outbid Cal this time. Cal usually has unlimited bankroll.
