Sam Webb predicts the last 4 kids in the class

In all honesty, I know we wanted one more linemen, but I honestly feel thats is because we were in on so many highly rated guys, and if we can squeeze 5 mroe commits it will deff. be a linemen. But I am already in love with what we have done for the OL and can hold off until 2013 now.

Yuri Wright is a stud, 5-star talent. You don't pass at that. I think it would be great to finsih out the already defensively minded class with Yuri, give Greg more peices, create depth and that day to day battle at practice.

Payton and Dabroh are two quality players at a position of need. As for Dunn, we have all been crossing our fingers for a while now.

...Just my thoughts

For the most part I feel like the feeling is that both Garnett and Banner will end up on the west coast. Add to that, that it looks like the interest in Jordan Diamond has cooled on both fronts, and this kind of makes sense. Having said that, I still wouldn't be shocked to see Banner in this class.

Seeing how we just offered an offensive lineman I'd assume that we'd get somebody in the class

I'm just acting on basic recruiting mind sets, that until a kid visits, you don't really know what you have. I believe TomVH said that early and often, even when he was aksed about Wright. 

Yes, how DARE you make a thoughtful point that may call into question one of Sam Webb's conclusions. What do you think this is, some kind of discussion board?

I'd have to go with Sam Webb because following recruiting is what he does for a living, but why lambast somone because they might have a differing opinion.  As far as time on this blog goes, that doesn't necessarily make one an expert. 

Rexy, Daisy had puppies. Love, mom. *nods*

"I'll get you, Beer Baron..."

"No you wooooooon't."

"Yes. I will."

"Doooooo'h."

the Henson class was epic.  In the Rivals era, I'd go with the 2003 class, which had 2 5 stars in Woodley and Burgess, and then a slew of 4 stars, including Crable, Long, Mundy, and Hall.  Of the 17 members of the class, 13 were 4 stars or better, and the lowest ranked recruit was Brandent Englemon, who turned out pretty well.  

2012: 1 (obviously not final ranking)
2011: 23
2010: 12
2009: 14
2008: 6
2007: 10
2006: T9
2005: 2
2004: 5
2003: 8
2002: 19

The 2005 class had 23 commits, 2 5*, 12 4* with an average of 3.65.

The 2012 class has 1 5*, 12 4* with an average of 3.61.
 

We had the number one ranked recruiting class in the country in '98/'99.

It could end up that way.  If we land Wright, Darboh, Payton, and Dunn, that will make 15 4-star guys, most of whom were wanted nationally.  Our 3-star guys are guys like Godin, Funchess, Ojemudia, Braden, and Wormley, who got offers from at least a few other major programs.  It's an almost perfectly balanced class that is especially great in the trenches.  It's got everything but a QB, which won't matter if Gardner gets his redshirt.  The 1995 and 1998 classes were amazing too, but this class might end up as the best.

Moar Linemen!

+1 because I agree.

Still, strategically, I wonder if it might make sense to hold off on another lineman until next year (if the Banners and Garnetts of the world go elsewhere).  Doing so would enable the coaching staff to sell a thin depth chart again next season, and I think recruits are less worried about those in their same class than those older than them.  Plus, it already seems like we're in on a bunch of good 2013 OL prospects.

I don't think any of us know, just our collective speculation/desires. I think Dunn is leary of going to a team in such obvious turmoil, I have no idea if he will actually commit to Michigan.
