2019 Recruiting Outlook: Post Daxton Hill Decommitment Edition
Current Commits: 23
Expected Commits: 28-30, so 5-7 spots left
- QB (1) : Cade McNamara
- Projection: Done for the class
- Projection: Done for the class
- RB (1): Zach Charbonnet
- DJ Williams; unlikely to come to Michigan
- Projection: Done for the class
- WR (4): Giles Jackson, George Johnson III, Quintel Kent, Mike Sainristil
- Cornelius Johnson; Recent report from Steve Wiltfong suggests that Michigan is a real player, but Stanford is most likely the leader
- Kyle Ford; USC has been leader and Kliff Kingsbury addition probably helps them out; longshot to Michigan
- Jaylen Ellis; Michigan is in contention
- Projection: Cornelius Johnson is the most likely bet
- TE (1): Erick All
- Sam Snyder; Coach Moore recently visited him in home and he has set a visit for Michigan. He's a kid that's been blowing up with offers but Michigan hasn't offered yet, most likely due to seeing how many spots there are in the class
- Projection: Sam Snyder if offered
- OT (2): Trente Jones, Karsen Barnhart
- Trevor Keegan; Recent run of crystal balls suggest that Keegan is coming to Michigan
- Danielson Ike; Ed Warriner has made it a point to keep in touch with him and get him back on campus; He will make a return visit to Michigan soon
- Dawand Jones; New kid that has been blowing up with offers. Michigan has crystal balls but not sure how hard Michigan is pushing for him
- Projection: Trevor Keegan and Ike or Jones (most likely Ike)
- OG (3): Nolan Rumler, Zach Carpenter, Jack Stewart
- Chris Akporoghene; visited Michigan this past weekend. Listed as a tackle but doesn't have the prototypical size
- Projection: Done for the class
From the push made to recruit multiple OL, it seems that the staff wants at least two more OL
- DE (3): Gabe Newburg, Mike Morris, David Ojabo
- Zach Harrison; You all know about him. Michigan leading in crystal balls but who really knows
- Projection: Zach Harrison
- DT (2): Mazi Smith, Chris Hinton
- D'Von Ellies; New offer after Karlaftis reaffirmed to Purdue. Seems to be favoring PSU but visit to Michigan in the works
- Jared Harrison-Hunte; Same story as Ellies with visit plans in the works; Miami(YTM) may be in mix
- *My expectation is Mike Morris will move inside similar to Carlo Kemp
- Projection: Done for the class
- LB (2): Charles Thomas, Amauri Pesek-Hickson
- Quavaris Crouch; Clemson has all the crystal balls. Michigan is always in contention but who knows
- Projection: Done for the class
- Viper (1): Joey Velazquez
- *Quinten Johnson said he may play at the position as well but with Hill de-committing, it's unlikely
- Projection: Done for the class
- CB (2): DJ Turner, Jalen Perry
- *Perry may be a better fit for safety
- Projection: Done for the class
- S (1): Quinten Johnson
- Josh Sanguinetti; Had interest in Michigan for a while but it may have faded when Hill committed
- Jamal Hill; Michigan is listed as warm on 247. Tall, fast safety that may be a under radar option
- Projection: Jamal Hill

Would be a little weird to see a different player with the same last name as Daxton at safety. Constant reminder.

Seems like we've had at least one player named Hill on the team for the last 5-6 years, so the coaches must have wanted a backup option to make sure we continue have a Hill on the roster at all times.

Any update if Pep Hamilton has been shitcanned yet ???
December 9th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
Insiders, any safeties we may now target that might be options this close to signing day? Ideally a 4-Star out there wanting to come to Michigan.

We already have a pretty full class, if we miss on Harrison we will not have a top 10 class. That's not a great class IMO, but a good one.

Still can’t believe we lost this guy based on rumors etc, can’t believe Bama used the ole Harbaugh to the NFL and it worked. Very disappointed in this one as I saw this kid as being one of the great Wolverines of all time.

The annoying thing is that Michigan belted Penn state and Wisconsin, yet we aren't able to get Lance Dixon or Logan Brown to even visit, same with Barnett and Dobbs, thats four big misses in the state of Michigan, that they didn't come close to landing
December 10th, 2018 at 5:21 AM ^
Keeping drevno and hiring pep last year set this program back big time. If wheat was still on staff we would not have missed out on 4 Michigan guys
December 10th, 2018 at 11:14 PM ^
This blog is dumb when it comes to losing Dobbs, Barnett, and Brown. They simply don't care and have a million "quality" reasons in their own mind as to why its OK Harbaugh whiffed on in state talent this year. We could really use those two highly ranked Olineman
And as for future in state recruiting in 2021 the state of Michigan has two top 10 recruits nationally ranked. Both currently projected Notre Dame leans. Michigan really needs to get a grasp on in state recruiting NOW

I don't think any high school player would believe this:
Chase Winovich said any recruit who’s discouraged about coming to Michigan because of the Ohio State game should know it’s a mirage. “We’re building a powerhouse,” he said.
I myself don't think it was a mirage. Ohio state used the industrial sized can of Whoop Azz
December 10th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
Do we have any kickers or punters
December 10th, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
I personally cant wait for Charbonnet
Still sucks that if we beat Ohio State we would likely keep Hill and get Harrison. This class would've been Bama/OSU tier. Wouldve been on paper the best Michigan defensive class of all time easily. Guess it will just be harder to become elite but still possible

This hurt , hope the team has some secret commits ,. ready to sign next week or we are in trouble
