We should expect Bolden to get a bump in his ratings on 247sports.  Right now he is outside the top 247.

Bolden will make a nice jump, but not sure about top 25 in the country'ish. I expect a multi-year starter and very solid player for Michigan. He helps a DC maximize a scheme for sure.
That is what 247sports analyst Gerry Hamilton said in their UA thread.

The organizers must realize that having Michigan and Ohio people on the same team wouldn't make for a good team atmosphere.

Also, I think there's a team from the Yucatan joining the Big East next year, so these silly "direction" things are pretty meaningless.

We had 8 back in 2003: Prescott Burgess, Anton Campbell, Shawn Crable, Leon Hall, Ryan Mundy, Will Paul, Clayton Richard, and Garrett Rivas.  That was a pretty good haul.

Then we had 7 in 2004 and 6 in 2009, so getting Wright would match the 3rd-most we've had play in the USAAAB.

When did the other AA games start up?  Back then I think the USAAAB was the only game in town.   So the numbers would be a little different if all 3 existed then or if just one existed now.

Still Great info and interesting to look at through the years, thanks.

I was just watching last year's UA game and they had a SC Right Now about RR getting fired. They then showed Michigan's defensive commits and Dallas Crawford was in there...completely forgot he was ever committed to that class. Actually had to look him up.

with Bolden, Ross, and Jenkins-Stone coming in,  with Ryan, Morgan, and Demens back this group has potential to be one the best linebacking cores in recent memory with Mattison at the helm i could easily see this being a top 5 defense in nation in next few years.  GO BLUE!
