makes me bizarrely happy.
Pharaoh Brown is 6-7? Thats huge, I did not know that.
Yeah I have a feeling that is a typo. I thought the same thing you did.
Consesus seems to be 6-6, one site has him 6-5, one at 6-7.
Not only do we own the state of Michigan, but the entire Midwest. I'll take it!
other potential gets:
#6 - diamond
#17 - o'brien
#22 - darboh
#27 - ron thompson
#37 - madaris
Day @7 might be a longshot but still potential
I posted this in the Madaris thread yesterday but I'm not sure anyway saw it. According to some people over on RCMB, Allen Trieu posted behind a paywall that he thinks Madaris is about to announce a commitment to Nebraska, which is why he didn't show up at the BBQ.
I think I read somewhere that Pelinin might be moving to a different spread offense that throws the ball more, but it still doesn't seem like it would be that big an improvement. We'll see though.
Are under rated. Kalis is considered the best player in Ohio but this list has him 3rd? There are not 17 better football players in the midwest than RJS.
Brionte Dunn, who could still end up Blue (at his own initiative, of course!)
Kalis has been considered one of the top prospects in Ohio along with Dunn and Washingotn, seing them ahead of him isnt a big deal.
Kiel is obviously number 1.
On that "shopping list", I'd think Dunn would be one of Michigan's biggest targets on the board. We need a workhorse, big back with talent. And Washington would be a great player who could start for us for 3 years. But, I'm guessing our chances with him aren't that great compared to Dunn. There's always hoping though!
There's almost no chance we'd take another DE. With our need at WR and DT, combined with already having 4 DE, I don't think there's room. Obviously, you make an exception for a guy like Washington, but it's not gonna happen.

God that is impressive on Hoke's part.

I guess Hoke wasn't kidding when he said he would focus his recruiting on the Midwest area...
Now, since the current crop of commitments essentially represents quite well the WHOLE Midwest all by itself; Michigan Fans who thrive on recruiting might relax a tad. For, easily They should be able to see Hoke was not only not kidding, but his focus was amazingly a-Maize-ing...I can "see Maize and Blue spots before my eyes"....and, I still say Hoke at will can shoot down a flitting gnat at 40 paces in either injure or kill mode with either hand; because, Hoke can claim not just the Midwest's quickest, but the Planet's quickist, lickety-split, lightning-fast finger point...smoking finger-nails and all. Blow on those golden finger-tips, pardner...you brought in your men for justice!
