Your most wanted recruits

Filiaga, Solomon/Tufele, Najee, Collins, and Gay in that order. 

Assuming we got only one of the NTs and an RB decommits in reaction to a Najee commitment, that puts us at 30. Whoever Harbaugh deems necessary to fill out the class after that would be fine with me. I'd assume it would only be 1 or 2 more anyway and nobody else on the board really catches my eye from a talent or need perspective if we got the above group. 

You know, I really want Isaiah Wilson in the class. I'm hoping he flips. Don't know how possible it is but other than ones you mentioned he is it.

Doesn't second semester start a week from today? Reallistically wouldn't Harris have to make a decision within a few days of that? Honestly I'm surprised we don't have someone inside the FAA that can tell us whether he has a plane ticket to Detroit booked, a la De Niro in Meet the Parents. 

All your recruits are belong to us..

I would love any two of the following:

• Filiaga
• Solomon
• Tufele
• Harris

Of course, I'd prefer all of them, but really, any two of these guys would be great. More would be totally awesome.

As for the others (Gay, Collins, Becton, Leatherwood, Slaton), I'd take any or all of them, but Leatherwood and Slaton seem very unlikely (committed elsewhere, plus grades) and Gay, Collins and Becton less needed. I guess of the latter three, I'd almost say Becton, then Gay, then Collins.

I also would love for Harbaugh to pull something out of his hat at the last minute . . . a 5 star or high 4 star guy currently committed elsewhere would be awesome. Especially on the line.

I had a dream last night that we landed Harris. Hello post and everything. He is my number one, even though our luck has been low with top rated running backs. I never saw anything crazy special with Green, Isaac, or Walker. Harris is on a different level, and would make an impact from day one.

...that we become known as the murder/death/kill lineman school, that regularly produces maulers on the O line and Football sociopathic QB stalkers on the D line. That's all. :-)

As great as it would be to land Najee Harris, RB is not a position of tremendous need. We need linemen. Both offensive and defensive. Big, nasty, angry ones. So Solomon, Filiaga, Collins et al.

How we lost Wilson! With our coaching staff, facilities, Jordan Brand, the recruits from Ny NJ, and we led for over a year. This is happening more times then not w top notch kids on the Line. I wonder why

The consensus top 3: Solomon, Filiaga, and Harris.

1a. Solomon because he could be an impact freshman to help our depth issues at DT.

1b. The same can be said about Filiaga at OT; instant depth/starter at OT.

1c. Harris for obvious reasons; landing #1 in back to back cycles, stealing a dude from Bama, keeping a west coast pipeline.

We of course need to stay strong on getting Gay, Collins, and Becton. I'd go full-court press on these three to make sure they commit to the good guys.

Tufele and Slaton we seem to be fighting an uphill battle, but I wouldn't stop going after Slaton. 

Harris Solomon Darnay Holmes Tufele Gay Filiaga Collins Slaton Becton This is such a great class already, however it finishes out will be solid.

1) Solomon 

2) Filiaga 

3) Harris - If he sticks with Bama, I'm very excited for the potention of O'Maury Samuels

Like to see the staff pluck a star DB out of somewhere. We got a lot of young talent so I'd like to be stockpiled in that area. I think Watson my have reached his ceiling.

I'm with you, I'd love one more solid defensive back. I don't know what are chances of flipping Paris ford are but that guy looks like a potential star.

A stout OL can make a 3/4 star running back look like a legit 5 star, and protect the qb, and make decent wide receivers look amazing.. Give me more OL/DL men. If we had a good OL, then obviously Najee would be the clear cut #1.

I think a DT who can play effective reps next year is most important. Then an offensive lineman who can compete as a freshman.

Harris would be needed as a playmaking RB. We currently have fine RB's but no complete, playmaker. 

You're right, deveon made huge strides these last two seasons but he never had the vision the really good backs have. I see the same thing with Kurt Taylor, Karan higdon, Ty Isaac. Kareem walker and Samuels seem to have good vision from what I've seen. Chris Evans absolutely has the vision but will he ever make up for it physically ? Najee Harris would cover up so many weaknesses on this team, a complete game changer. Now if we don't land him and are rushing attack remains the same I still believe we're bringing it so much receiving talent that will make up for it. Didn't Florida state under Winston just have an average running game?

Way to high on Harris both list rank and percentage. He is going to bama. Filiaga is easily the most important player, then Solomon. Your percentages are on point.

Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. Give me all the top o-line and d-line.

I want them all but here are my top three desired signings (just like everybody else):

1. Najee Harris - Having the top QB, WR and RB would be epic for this class. Could be a game changer.

2. Aubrey Solomon - This kid is a beast. Can you imagine Gary and Solomon lined up side-by-side on the D-Line in a couple of years.

3. Filiaga - We need more OTs (Offensive Tackles - not Off Topic posts related to what I will eat before the OB or what to name my dog).

Order of probability:

1. Filiaga

2. Harris

3. Solomon

There are no bama insiders worried about Harris flipping. 1) because he committed and not going to flip. 2) they are loaded with young stud rbs. Filiaga for president Solomon for VP Collins for Sec of state 2017 Michigan's greatest recruiting class ever.

Having a RB of Harris' quality can lead to gaining hidden yards that our other backs (since Hart) have missed. He can make an O line look very good and close out close games. We've lost 3 big games the last 2 years that could've been won with an elite back. Not to mention how defenses would have to commit to stopping the run, therefore opening the passing game more. I don't see an OL that will help immediately and I disagree with DL depth being as important as or more important than a game changer at RB.

Harris

go Harris (difference maker on O and recruiting), Solomon (need a great 1/3 tech), Filiaga (OT void) and a Gay (he is a spread killer). Get those 4 and then I don't care if JH adds 3 long snappers. Great class If it closes well.

I'm just over here like "what's next years class look like?". I mean, if Michigan's in on a ton more talent, like I assume they are, anyone who joins now could really just be icing on the cake. if it's another top 5 class next year, then that'll be 3 supreme classes all back to back to back. what didn't get addressed this year will get addressed next year. and now a days, freshman and true sophomores are starting all over the place, and being successful. I would love to land Harris, Solomon, and filiaga, but only feel decent about filiaga. so on to next year.

after missing out on Wilson he's the biggest need. Harris to Michigan would be indescribable. Landing back to back number 1 players. Harris would start right away. Harris/Evans is a nice 1-2. Solomon would be final piece of the puzzle. OT RB DT in that order. Filiaga 85% chance to happen. Harris 35% Solomon 25%. I do want Collins and Gay think Michigan is sitting good with both. Can't wait to see who commits next!

Tyrone freakin Wheatley.  That said, loved what we saw in Evans and Higdon and we do have some promising talent coming in.

Looks like we will end up with some serious potential on both lines, hopefully we can wrap up the last elite unknowns.  All said and done, a GREAT class.  Also, can't wait to see some of the young guns at QB develop.  The future's so bright, we gotta wear shades!  Let's clean up the Orange Bowl with some seminole fluids and push these final recruits over the top!

GO BLUE!!

These 4 are the MOST wanted, IMO. I know the rest are needed in certain positions and have potential but these guys are all Home Runs 

 

Harris, because we lost a RB and I hoped that we had officially closed the deal on this game chaning RB before we let our bird in the hand go. Would of been happy with what we had but if we can trade one for the #1 player we gotta do it.  Makes me think we alrfeady got him 70%.

Gay will be a super star playing the Peppers spot if we can get him. He's no luxury, he will sinlgle handedly give OSU nightmares. He likes us a bunch and you add our current commits and i like our LB's over anyone in the nation. We need to work on mom 75%

Nico may be a luxury to some but he is the tall go up and get it receiver who will kill short DB's and fits in well with the taller/physical receiver corp we're recruiting this year. Last year was fast slot-types this year tall field streatchers. I'm calling them the 3 headed monster 90%   

Solomon has a lot of potential because he has size and is very physical. He plays a position of need, and with guys going to the NFL, he potentially could play a lot as a freshman. We have to continue to work on mom but I think we can get him if we convince her that he will become an outstanding human being, not just a football player. 65%
