    Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

More Optimism from Sam Webb

On this morning's Recruiting Roundup Sam seemed to double down on his previous indication that "a couple" of good things would happen for us in June.  Today he responded to a questioner who felt that we have been missing out on too many of the very top prospects; ie, Isaac, Levenberry, Garnett, etc..  Sam's answer was that we already have many top guys in this class and he also hinted very broadly that we can expect some top names to commit to the Maize & Blue in the very near future.  No gut feelings and no names mentioned, but a very confident statement.  Let the speculation begin.  LaQuon and Poggi are the two obvious big names out there, and though Hurst is not a big name (yet) I think he would be a fantastic addition to the class.  Get those three on board and we are playing with house money.

Every school misses out on great recruits they think they have a good shot at.  We see Michigan as everyone's dream, but for a kid who didn't grow up thinking that and who has the option of some combination of Alabama, LSU, USC, Oklahoma, Florida, Auburn, Penn State, and yes, even Ohio and ND, it isn't hard to see that some will choose to go elsewhere.  It's no big deal.  You just have to win your share of the battles.  It's like baseball.  Even the best team is going to lose 40% of its games.

If you told anyone we'd be here now (2/3 full class in May with all the 4 stars) we'd all take it.

Now we need to start pulling some RB's with that kind of profile (4 star, highly touted) and we'll be all set (and the succesfulQuon well, but he is fairly likely at this point).

After that fantastic weekend in February we were into house money.  Already having a stud QB and Safety in the fold to add the OL, Butt, Hill, Lewis and Taco made for a great class.  After that we have already added a couple of recievers, 2 highly rated linebackers, another corner and the 5th member to the Oline. 

This group is already as highly rated as our top 10 class from 2012.  I would say we are deep into the houses pockets with 6 spots left to fill.

a top rated RB (Wilkins), elite WR (Treadwell), a couple excellent interior DL (Poggi and Hurst), and a big corner.  That would leave one wild card spot for another top prospect.

Maybe it will be someone such as McQuay, Cravens, or Mathis. Treadwell and Poggi have been known as top recruits on our board. I hope Treadwell commits soon but I do not see Poggi committing I feel like he is Bama all the way.

McQuay, Cravens, and Mathis are all real longshots.  I would be very surprised if any of them were to commit to Michigan, let alone anytime soon.  And even if Mathis did commit, he'd change his mind in three days.  A commitment from him doesn't mean anything until NSD.

Any insider scoop on Poggi out there?  It seems like after his Alabama visit, things got really quiet.  I remember them saying that they wanted to try to visit as many programs as they could by summer and make a decision by fall, but I haven't even heard about him visiting anywhere else.  Has it come down to Michigan vs. Bama?  

As for Sam Webb... I'm really hoping for Hurst and Treadwell.  Please please please.

Or maybe he's just doing some heavy thinking on what is probably the biggest decision of his life so far.  Enjoy the long weekend because our stressing over the question doesn't change a thing. (note: I obviously haven't heard anything either.)

For all the talk of Cravens, I am anxious to get Dymonte on campus. He's gunna be a stud. Treadwell would be a nice get as would any of the names we are all speculating on. FWIW, Webb is about as good a source as there is out there and he is usually conservative in his predictions. Sam does a nice job. 

Go Blue!

Hopefully Webb is a little better source than he was before the Spring Game...

Sam Webb didn't say he had any sources for that information prior to the spring game.  He was asked a question of how many more recruits we'd have by the spring game, and he took a guess based on nothing more than his educated speculation.  He clearly indicated that it was only speculation, and didn't even have very specific people in mind for that speculation.

Knowing that, this sounds different.  This is information that he is passing along, rather than a speculation that he was asked to make.

So if you're going to bang on Sam Webb then please tell me who has more accurate insight and better connections in regards to Michigan recruiting.

In his defense, these are 17 year old kids that are under a lot of pressure to make big decisions. They might think they know what they want one day and completely change directions the next.



We can never really know what they want until NSD. Ever hear of Josh Garnett?

JC from 24/7 sports just said this morning that he doesn't expect Michigan to get any new commits for awhile. He thinks Michigan has no shot for the RB Green and didn't sound to upbeat about Wilkens either. He also doesn't think Hurst is a lock. Its interesting to hear the different services opinions. Scout is my favorite, but there all interesting.

Sam Webb has a great track record and is completely immersed in Michigan athletcs so I'll give him the nod over this guy JC.

That guy is an idiot.   I am sorry.  He might be making those statements since pretty much every other site thinks Hurst will drop when he visits... that way he can look like he's really connected when others aren't.

Let's not forget, that Hurst has told multiple interviewers that he hopes to make a decision AFTER he gets home from his Michigan visit and has had a chance to talk things over with his family.

I'm not saying he won't be so impressed that he won't commit on the spot, but that seems to be the assumption on this board and across the blogosphere, and I'd hate to see mass panic if the kid quietly goes home leaving us all dangling from our seatbelts in a circle of empty PBR cans.
