Sam Puts in Crystal Ball for 4* Safety Jordan Morant
Jordan Morant is a 4-star safety from Bergen Catholic in New Jersey. No. 161 overall, No. 10 safety, No. 5 player in Jersey. Sam Webb announced this morning on WTKA that he just put in a crystal ball for him.
Has offers from Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama and lots of others. Do want.

I wonder what Sam thinks about Bigfoot...
He said Jim's looking at him as a right tackle. Close to giving us a gut feeling about him.
I'm hearing rumors that Bigfoot is going to have to go the JUCO route.
Most schools are looking at him as a RT, but heard that M is looking at him for the D Line. Heard he’s an absolute beast!
Bigfoot definitely isn't transferring.
I'd prefer Yeti, as he's faster in the snow
And yeti, neither one is a match for Murderwolf.
Great kicker. Can make FG from 90 yards away.
Can confirm that he has a big leg.
I wasn't sure how this recruiting class was going to turn out but it seems like we are picking up steam. I'm hoping for another Top 10 class.
Michigan seems to get going a little bit later than some of the other big programs, but the classes eventually come together nicely.
Given that it's hard to project how high school kids will develop, I think delaying as late as possible makes a ton of sense. Assuming that people will drop their existing commitments for your program (e.g., if you're Alabama).
While I mostly agree, I think Michigan will see more of that in the 2021 cycle rather than the 2020 cycle. If you look at the board of targets that are interested in Michigan, there are positions where it seems Michigan doesn’t have a ton of high end targets interested in them. Positions like CB, WR, DT, and LB (though that position has been filled well so far). Of course there’s a lot of movement yet to happen and targets will appear out of nowhere, so I still expect Michigan to end up with a good class.
With a string of early entry high draft picks that are playing well in the NFL, how the hell are high end CB's not interested in playing for Mike Zordich?
Da fuck is going on, here???
I’ve heard Zordich is a pretty weak recruiter. Excellent coach, but his recruiting leaves a lot to be desired. Considering how lock down our corners have been for the past 3-4 years, we should be in every top corners top group. I’m not sure what the CB board looks like right now, but besides Seldon, it seems we are only in on Henry Gray (maybe) and Eamonn Dennis (ATH).
247 is saying that Eamonn Dennis is being recruited by Michigan as a slot receiver/all-purpose back. I might add Ryan Watts to the board at CB though.
yeah CB is troubling. they really need to land the next hill, thomas, etc - not that those guys grow on trees but theyre overdue for top flight CB.
they rolled the dice on some taller dudes like st juste, sims, grey, green, and could really use a few quick, tough athletes able to cover inside or out
Yeah I've been watching CB as the one worry spot in terms of recruiting. While we brought in a bunch of prospects the last couple classes, they don't have a lot of speed. Having Hill and Long as entrenched young starters probably didn't help recruiting. Next year's class should have plenty of opportunity for early playing time, and now the play of Hill and Long is an asset.
I was glad to see per Touch the Banner that both Gray and Ryan Watts are visiting this weekend. Picking up at least 1 elite CB this cycle is critical.
Campanelle, Gattis and Nua, those positions make sense to be lagging a little right now with new coaches but I have a feeling they finish strong.
Bama, LSU, and UGA are currently #2, #3, and #4 right now in the team recruiting rankings. UF is #7.
This sounds familiar.....
He’s not exactly wrong on this one. You can still wait on the best players and still lock down top talent. Michigan is already doing so for Class of 2021.
It's more account created yesterday starts to push SEC narratives.
Well it’s maizen’s new account. We all know what he is about
That’s some in-depth research. Thanks for letting us know.
Supposedly, several national pundits such as Mandel are saying we have the top OL in the nation. Hard to wrap head around that, if true, simply because of the tackles. Runyan, while 1st team BIG, should be playing guard, and RT has not been settled nor proven to have a good player.. So for those writers to state that is shocking. Sure, our inside three may be the best, but still.... am glad to hear it though.
Steve Wiltfong over at 247 had a writeup today on it and it didn't sound too promising to be honest. Really disappointing actually.
Really disappointing that you are back again Maizen.
Sherrone Moore and the new staff guys have been putting in work. Warriner is quietly doing his thing as well
Do want?
JA!
Glanced at this and read it as Jorah Mormont. Really need some coffee.
You were not the only one.
I thought Ja Morant was in the transfer portal.
What do you think Jorah’s closing speed would be? Seems pretty spry for an older guy.
Considering he came out of nowhere to protect his queen, I’d say he runs a sub 4.0 40
Maybe he's been exiled from Jersey.
Find a top-tier talent to play alongside Dax at safety while depriving PSU and OSU of one? Works for me.
4.69(ha) 40 time! Too slow. Do not want. /s
I want.
So no Speed In Space?!?!?!
I hope this isn't just his attempt at burying the Martin transfer portal story. I haven't listened to this morning's podcast but Sam and Ira were essentially laughing at the idea of Martin transferring yesterday. Oops.
What do you want them to say on air? There were rumors on a rivals board, then Gattis seemed to squash those rumors on Twitter and Martin participated in practice, then he decided to transfer. There were signs that the rumor had be squashed then something changed.
On the topic of Sam's CBs, he is almost always right with the CBs because he doesn't put one in unless he basically has verbal confirmation of a commit or a very good reason to believe the kid is going to commit. A Sam Webb crystal ball means a lot
No, that’s his gut feeling. He’s a little more loose with the CB
Yeah, I mean, didn't he talk to Martin's parents? They said he was all in. A day later the kid heaves.
There is nothing wrong with what he reported. Maybe the parents really thought that, maybe they were shielding their kid, who knows. But you can't get a better source other than the kid himself.
Hell yes. Morant is the #1 safety and borderline five star on 247, the service that knows what it’s doing. Would be pretty wild if we landed the #1 safety in back to back classes.
That would be awesome. Michigan has done a good job of bringing in a really solid player at some position every so often, but less so getting a pipeline of all really good recruits at a position across years.
I realize that it's easier to get good guys to come when there's a clear path to near immediate playing time, but a deep second string is necessary to regularly perform well over such a long and grueling season.
He probably did after Yoder did.
/s
Did he mention anything about Makari Paige, who's 4* safety from West Bloomfield? Most of his CB picks are for Michigan, but and OSU writer put one in for Ohio State yesterday.
Sounds like we may trailing OSU there from the scuttlebut on Paige. Staff has Morant at the top of their board so maybe its an either/or situation there?
