My wish list for 2013 class
Now that the 2013 recruiting cycle is now in full swing I thought it would be fun to create a best guess/ wish list for 2013. I have bee gathering information from all of Aces and Aquamans articles, Toms stuff over at ESPN, and Sam Webbs recruiting round up. Everyone here seems to think we will have about 20-22 spots open in this years class and I think that will be a safe bet. Lets get this started.
1) Quarterback - Shane Morris (check)
2) Running Back- Wyatt Shallman
3) Running Back -Ty Issac
4) Big Wide Reciever- Juron Dukes
5) Big Wide Reciever- Laquon Treadwell
6) Playmaking Wide Reciever - maybe a guy like Robert Foster or James Quick, I think Shane will be able to help reel one of these guys in.
7) Recieving Tight End- Khalid Hill (check)
8) Balanced Tight End- Jake Butt
9) Tackle- Logan Tulley-Tillman
10) Tackle- Hunter Bivin
11) Tackle/Guard- Kyle Bosch
12) Gaurd- Ethan Pocic
13) Guard/Center- Chris Fox
14) Defensive end- Taco Charlton
15) Defensive end- Tashawn Bower
16) DT- Henry Poggi
17) LB- EJ lavenberry
18) LB- Ben Gedeon
19) CB- Jourdan Lewis
20) CB- TIm Harris
21) Safety- Dymonte Thomas (check)
22) Safety- Su'a Cravens
This what I ended up coming up with when looking at what I have read and listened to. I'm not going to lie and say i'm confident in this list mainly cause I have no clue on a few things like oline. I just took names that I have seen a lot and have high interest. I do think the staff will go with a big playmaking wr eventually and having Shane will help a ton. There are guys on the list that like Michigan but personally think they will go somewhere else ( Poggi, Lavenberry and Su'a Cravens to be exact) but I do think Michigan has a chance.
Please feel free to pick apart my list and make one of your own if you want. I would like to thank Ace and Aquaman for all the hard work they have been doing. Also Magnus and his input is always a great read.
EDIT: I feel like I should throw this in here that I don't expect this list to hold up. Heck when I was making it the first time around a work yesterday I had Shaq Wiggins on there and that got shot down last night.

I have a few questions i would like to ask the mgoblog community.
First, Do people really believe Wyatt Shallman (if he commits obviously) will end up at RB?
After watching his highlights, i feel like too often he tends to avoid contact instead of just using his size and just running people over. I feel like he dances to much in the backfield. I got the intensions that he would be used as a bull-rushing RB in short yardage situations, and in my opinion im not sure if thats him.
Second, Do you guys think down the road that Desmond King will earn an offer?
After watching his highlights, i must admit that i am pretty impressed with the kids toughness. He seems like a very solid RB, however despite his size, it seems like his future is at CB. His highlight film does not show too much defensive play though.

Desmond is being looked at as a defensive back by our coaching staff, and I'm not sure if they will offer or not, but if they do offer, he would likely follow the lead of his teammate Khalid Hill and commit on the spot.

Do you think he could be a potential sleeper?
And are you willing to voice your opinion on Shallman? I really am curious what others think about his skillset.
