So does this mean Hello :Clark and Wheatley? The timing of both Pickard and Snyder are rather odd if not, since both guys would be better served and seemed to want to go to Michigan over the schools they chose.

It will be a crazy few days but i have this calm feeling that I have not had in some time. Knowing that no matter what happens we are in great hands and on Sat afternoons I won't be yelling at the TV in anger nearly as much.

I could be mistaken here, but if I remember correctly Snyder has had considerable contact with Mike Riley as he was - I believe - an Oregon State commit before Riley made the jump to Nebraska, so we would have had a lot of makeup work to do (just in terms of familiarity with coaches, I would think) in order to flip him perhaps. I still believe we could potentially be in for a pleasant surprise or two on NSD this coming Wednesday.

One of my friends who is also a Michigan fan asked me what would happen if no one else signed onto the class. I know Michigan wont get skunked, but how shitty would it be if everyone on the board went elsewhere? 2016 may be a big class after all.

I'd rather JH just get the kids he think will be talented enough to help the team in 2015. If we wiff on them all it will just mean more spots for JH to fill in 2016. JH will coach these young 2016 recruits up to play in 2017 and 2018! No more freakin excuses about youth again. You will not here it from JH!

I totally agree, but what makes it dire is look at the depth by class chart.  there are 26! Jrs on the roster.  thats 26 slots open for next year if we max this years out.  and even if we max this years out, i'm sure there will be atleast 2 guys leaving do to attrition, which will bump up against the 25+3 max easily.  We really need to fill this class out with as many kids that can contribute as possible.
