Saturday Swim Lanes

Submitted by alum96 on

Thought it would be relatively quiet until Monday but this is Harbaugh's Michigan fergodsakes.

Just a quickie today.

Changes:

  • Hamilton out (damnit)
  • Nate Johnson back to firmly in
  • Viramontes projected to be the silent commit
  • Mathis was barely in this table anymore but Ole Miss visit seemed to solidfy him there
  • Lorenz just CB'd Stewart to Stanford so I am going with that and calling him out for now
  • Pie got both Lorenz and Wiltfong to Louisville today so I already had him off the board but this seals it.

So down to 25 spots taken from 26 yesterday.  With 31 total projected which is inclusive of 1 grayshirt.

Going to remove 1 more for Dytarious Johnson (academics).  Brad Hawkins sounds like will sign on NSD and then work more on his academics so keeping him in class.  This drops us down to 24 commitments.

Projected final guys:

  Yes  
25 Rashan Gary  
26 Victor Viramontes UM
27 Lavert Hill UM
28 Quinn Nordin USC / UM
29    
30    
31    

 

This leaves 3 spots - if we get the 3 guys from the Pacific Time Zone we done.  If you believe in video game recruiting 1 of those spots goes to Fuller; if you believe crystal ballz not so much.

  Trusted Agents?  
1 Connor Murphy Left Coast v UM
2 Devin Asiasi Left Coast v UM
3 Boss Tagaloa Left Coast v UM
4 Isaiah Simmons Clem / Neb / UM
5 Jordan Fuller OSU
6 Will Fries PSU

I wouldn't be surprised if the staff is looking over possible OL they could flip at the last minute to replace Hamilton. It's not going to be another top-300 player, but there might be somebody committed to Purdue or Illinois or someplace who looks promising.

Need to a get a fourth OL in this class somehow. Hoping to land a grad transfer next year seems a pretty poor proposition, as there haven't been a ton of linemen with degrees shopping their wares. Five spots on the o-line means that anyone with the kind of talent we want already has a starting job. Raulerson seems to have been a rare exception, where he was riding the pine because he didn't see eye-to-eye with the Texas staff.

Is there even a Greg Little chance we land someone random and awesome who suprises us and jumps in one of these lanes. Maybe trouble possibly coming from current school of commitment? Or is it too late to make up ground? Eubanks coming out of nowhere gives me hope..

IMO difficult to flip someone who has never been on campus who has been on many officials at top notch schools where he has been on campus and built those relationships.  Last year we got Washington to do it but that was a low 3* whose offer list was sparse.  If you are talking a top 200 type player - he would have had to vist UM at some point to flip.

Also we are just about to enter the period where you can only talk to recruits via phone or text or DM etc - no more face to face time, so difficult to see someone coming completely out of nowhere who has not been surfaced by now.
