That One Last '13 Spot

fit in with their approach to the rest his recruitment.

With the current class, they stand 2 scholarships over the limit for next year.  I think I see one 5th year player who is pretty certain to not get the 5th year, but where will the other one come from?

Well the RCMBers are convinced he's flipping so if he does stay it will be a gut punch to that cesspool.

With poggi is very bizarre. Either the biff twitter account isn't actually his, or if it is then that certainly doesn't bode well for Michigan. The things that were stated kind of rubbed the B1G the wrong way, if he truly means it, which is weird because of his connection to Iowa, then I would expect Henry to flip by signing day. Who knows, I've heard reports though that Henry was kind of tagging along. We will see soon this week, if hoke didn't know about the OV, coupled with remarks from Biff, I would be surprised if hoke still considers him committed, assuming this was not discussed with Hoke...who knows, maybe it was?

the surprised recruit signing. Something totally off the radar, like flipping a 4* or 5* WR recruit! If we don't get that surprise, I say the coaches should just bank this last spot for the 2014 class.

Could use a speedy slot Ninja in this class.

I really hope we offer Gibbs especially if poggi decommits

Reschke ? get him to flip from sparty, stick it to them one last time this recruiting period

Anyone think we may go after James Crawford aka the nephew of #2? I wouldnt mind keeping that legacy with the good guys

I am not sure what we will do with our last spot, but felt compelled to post this link to some msu recruiting news. Its paywalled. http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/midwest/post?id=8788. Essentially it's a story about a msu offeree who decided to attend Toledo instead of msu. The recruiting equivalent to losing to a Mac school. Unbelievable. Now most drama that unfolds from here, I have perspective.

I'm betting that it's more like 2 spots.

I'm betting on the MI men closing with a pleasant surprise, or two.

I cannot believe Kelley flirting with the NFL will not shake loose more than one kid from ND, to someone's benefit. And I think that the MI staff's West coast ties may lead to a snag of a previous OR commit.

I'm betting we lose one we did not think we would lose, gain one we never thought we would get, and gain another who is a sleeper in the rankings, but had a break out Senior year.

Sentimental hogwash!

I think it's pretty difficult to conceive of a scenario where it makes sense to bank a scholarship.  Certainly there must be at least one worthwhile player who is  either uncommitted or who is committed to a lower-profile school but would flip to Michigan if he received a late offer.

I disagree with brooktrail. We dont need any DE's or CB's at this time. Biggest position of need would have to be WR first and formost. Then I personally would take a DT. This coaching staff prides itself on its D-Line however the D-Line recruiting under Rich was terrible, and now we kind of need to overload at the position.  No one knows what will happen if Pipkins or Washington gets hurt next year, who will replace them. Its a very unproven position for us.

Ive been looking at the prospect board on scout and one person did catch my eye.

Darius Latham out of  Indiana. 6-5 285. Looks pretty good. Anyone know why he went with IU over all his other offers?

Need 4 star + wide receiver.
