Buckle Up? Matt Falcon Announcement at 7 PM
[Ed-S: 4-star, top 250-ish RB from Southfield (Lawrence Marshall). 247]
There have been some rumblings on Twitter about big Michigan news today. Apparently the rumblings are getting more....rumblier?

EDIT2: MGoFish, who has been covering this, seems to be semi-confirming the news
LRT: That may or may not be related to the earlier news

Nothing official yet. #StayTuned

EDIT4: Now Sam Webb is semi-confirming it.
Tweets from 2016 Southfield (Mich.) RB Matt Falcon make sense if you heard today's recruiting roundup. If you didn't: http://t.co/y9VmtfDQap

ALL THE EDITS: Yep.
Big announcement at 7pm

Two.
Are we couting Davis as a RB or FB?
I mixed up Reese and Davis.
Davis is the guy who said RB. Reese is a FB/LB
Falcon: A-Train
Davis: BJ Askew
Reese: Chris Floyd
Let's go hurt someone.
With the needs on defense I cannot imagine more than 2. I think this class will eventually be 21-23 people. We need to rebuild the entire DT (save Hurst and Mone) and DBs (save Watson Kinnel Washington) post 2016. Last year's class had 3? 4? defensive players.
It's going to need to be 12+ defensive players. Doesn't leave much left when you have 2 RBs, 1 QB, and you need a few OL and WRs. And TEs.
I think the coaching staff is expecting a class of 25. Jay Harbaugh and recruits have been using the #fab25.
I think you are right when you say it will be defensive heavy class. We had 0 LB commits in the 2015 class, so I think we can see up to 3-4 LB (MIKE/WILL) in this class. And another 1 or 2 in that rush LB spot.
- QB - Peters
- QB/WR/ATH

I don't think we take that many...more like 18-20. But we'll see.
I could see 6 DBs. We literally have almost nothing post 2016. We cannot field a nickel defense as it currently stands assuming Peppers leaves. And if you want to RS your DTs we need a bunch too there. Esp with guy like Pallante switching to FB.
You also need a TE in there - or two! Harbaugh!
We really need annual 27 person classes like OSU.
Make the QB/WR/ATH a DB...
And flip a LB to DT?
And just realized this and came back to comment that I MISSED THE TEs! HARBAUGH I'M SO SORRY!!!

Mr. Falcon!
...it's 3 minutes til 7!!
well
Back in my day when a kid said 7 PM he meant 7 PM. He also meant it walking uphill, barefoot, in the snow.
Based on Mike Weber's timeline we should know by 9 PM.
But Lorenz says it's not a trolling announcement.
