'Cats comin' for y'all
Thats a really solid group.
Thats a really solid group. I'm not very surprosed that Richardson got bumped down a bit (I think he did, anyway. He was very high on one of the sites, at least), and its nice to see Funchess on there.
Edit:
Notable 5 Stars:
Kyle Kalis, Sheldon Day (will be at BBQ), Brionte Dunn (will also be at BBQ), Zach Banner (I believe were still recruiting him hard), and Jordan Diamond (might be at BBQ)

No offense to Strobel,
No offense to Strobel, Ringer, and Funchess, they are all terrific prospects and I am glad they are committed to Michigan, but if their rankings are 126, 206, and 224 respectively, their is no way that Bolden is 236.
Strobel
got an OSU offer and Bolden, reportedly, wasn't even close. Seems like Strobel gets a lot less hype than some of the others, but, in my estimation, he's one of the biggest commitments and potentially a 4-year starter at SDE.
TSIO told Bolden he was too
TSIO told Bolden he was too small...lulz.
I think that was Notre Dame
I think that was Notre Dame not OSU.
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
Wow. That's great. M could be
Wow. That's great. M could be pulling 15 out of the top 300. Pretty hard to beat, except by Texas and Bama. Diamond seems to be heading steadily northward. I've gotta believe he's our final o-line guy, unless a five-star decides to jump the line.

I have some of the previous rankings:
Kalis 21
Ross 73
Magnuson 96
RJS 115
Richardson 149
Strobel 211
Bolden 238
Don't know about the others.
I can't believe Kalis fell
I can't believe Kalis fell that far. That seems weird to me.
Me fail english thats unpossible!
Conspiracy
Is it the osu decommitment? Even though his offers remain the same, that might have an unfair effect. I'd hope not, but I have no idea how else to explain it.
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

He's not really camping. You'll see people make jumps usually because of camps.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Strobel and Bolden the only
Strobel and Bolden the only ones that you listed that went up. The other six went down, even if it was just a bit...
Holy jumping Strobels though
that's an 85 spot move
Thanks turd.

The opening really hurt a bunch of players stock. A few of note:
Stanford dropped around 20 spots in WR rankings
Manguson dropped on scout and Espn
TR dropped a little bit
Shittu has really fallen and scout and Espn also
Obrien on the other hand seems to be helping his stock.
That's because he hasn't
That's because O'Brien hasn't committed to Michigan yet...
JC Shurbutt of...
....247Sports was talking up O' Brien on Bill King's Sirius/XM show this morning, but it was in the context of an answer to an Iowa fan's question about potential Hawkeye commitments. He never mentioned Michigan or O'Brien's attendance at the BBQ this weekend, so I didn't take it to mean that Iowa had any special advantage.
Shurbutt also had nice things to say about Shane Morris based on his Gridiron Kings performance, but we knew that already from the post-event writeups.

Wayne Morgan
I'm not quite sure what he was ranked before but he is now a 3 star and the #43 safety...i had read that he didn't perform well recently and this may be an indication
Also not in the top 300
Man I do not understand the
Man I do not understand the huge discrepancies that exist between Scout and Rivals.
For example, isn't Magnuson the 30th player nationally to Rivals? And he's 133 to Scout??
Granted, yes, they are 2 different services and do their own scouting, but, it seems like there'd be more consensus between the 2 sites. A difference of 5-10....even 20....spots I could understand, but 100? Sheesh. At that point, how do you know which one to believe?
(Easy answer is, "Whichever one ranks our player higher." But really....which ranking has more credibility?)
CJK5H
I don't know much about
I don't know much about either site but I do know that Scout has a midwest analyst while Rivals does not so go with Scout for midwest guys and rivals in the other areas (I'm assuming that since Rivals doesn't focus on one area of the country, they focus more heavily in the others, i.e. south and the west).
Me fail english thats unpossible!
I think they should all do
I think they should all do what ESPN did with Houma. As soon as a player commits to Michigan, move them to 3rd at their position (or higher please).
There are 250,000 or so
There are 250,000 or so senior High school football players a year. About 2500 get I-AA scholarships. I think some slop in the ranking is to be expected (I'm not sure how you settle on a top 100 or even top 300 from a group of 250,000).
My approach is to pay special attention to the consensus top guys, and then look more at offer lists that rankings after that.
How does 2500 kids going to 1-AA
effect Michigan? We don't play App State anymore...
Yes...that guy.
Yeah, should be I-A. Thanks.

(I'm not sure how you settle on a top 100 or even top 300 from a group of 250,000).
I've wondered about their methodology as well. Presumably, they must have "guys on the ground" that feed them info, but sorting it all out has got to be a grind. For basketball, they've at least got the summer AAU circuit to compare the big names. Football seems to involve a lot more guesswork.
Guesswork and being,
Guesswork and being, necessarily, limited to guys who attend camps/7 on 7's or play in programs that have lots of D-1 talent and are scouted in person regularly.
You
also have to take into account the fact that each individual scouting service may see the player perform at different times and places. Rivals could've seen one of Magnuson's better performances or Scout could've seen one of his worst (probably not worst, but you know what I mean).

Rankings change for only top 300??
May be I just have to be a little more patient, but I was under the impression that Ben Braden was thought to be moving up to a 4-star. I dont know for sure but do these new rankings mean that only the 300 were shuffled or were other moves either up or down seen as well?
I know TomVH, who I think is prooooobably in the know, suggested that the new 6'7'' 325lbs Braden is someone in line to move in the right direction.
Also a bit OT but does anyone have any info on any LIONS news as far signing any players??
10th? wow
10th? wow

reffering to Darby?
where was he before/ whats your take on him
I thought he was top 50, I
I thought he was top 50, I mean he had a great showing at last weekend's event and has a ton of speed, see my sig, but I am not sure he is top 10 in the country. Certainly take it though
Current Smug rating: "lethal"
I'd be interested to see the +/- movement if anyone out there has that information.
