Recruiting Q for TomVH
Tom, simply from your perspective, outside of Demitrious Hart and probably Zettel, which recruits are the highest on Michigan and which would you guess would be most likely to committ next?
I know it's still early, but was wondering if you could give a quick gauge and anybody to keep an eye on.
As always, thanks for the hard work and info.
Demitrious
Dimeetreous
Da-meat-tree-us
Demetrius
BTW love the avatar, excellent, excellent CD that is, along with his others.
DEMETRIUS!
Dyson Blades is a silent commit.
and a name of the year candidate.
is a real high motor type.
the NOTY award has already been locked up

Is that for serious? It seems legit, but also too good to be true.
It's real, wonderful, and terrific all at the same time.
The funny thing is, he is Wonderful Terrific Monds II. His father was so happy about havng this name, he decided to pass it on as a family legacy.
I thought holy crap not only is his name wonderful terrific but he is a second!!!!!! hands down name of the year not even close
Name of the Decade, maybe more.
He may be named after his grandfather, similar to Henry Ford II being the grandson of Henry Ford, hence not a junior but a II
Is leaning towards Michigan. Great hands, excellent size; should help out on the outside.
Here's a list for you. This doesn't mean Michigan is definitely getting these kids, but we're in good shape with them. It's too early to say who will commit, or who won't, so just take this as some names that Michigan is in favorable position with.
- DE Chris Rock, OH
- DE Jason Adeyanju, IL
- DT Darian Cooper, MD
- DT Corey Marshall, VA (Although, I think he'll end up choosing Va. Tech)
- DT Vincent Croce, MD
- LB Woodson Greer, CA
- LB/WR Kris Frost, NC
- LB Keith Lewis, FL
- LB Ben Kline, PA
- LB Sean Duggan, OH (Probably Notre Dame)
- QB Marquise Williams, NC
- TE Ray Hamilton, OH
- OL Tony Posada, FL
- OL Andre Yruretagoyena, AZ
- OL Zach Debell, FL
- DB Nick Waisome, FL
- DB Jonathan Aiken, FL
- DB Valdez Showers, MI
- WR Spiffy Evans, FL
- WR AJ Jordan, OH
I might be missing some, and these are only kids with offers. We're obviously going to see more names pop up as offers get handed out.
Awesome, thanks Tom.
One more question. Out of that list, who are YOU highest on and would like to see wear Maize and Blue?
I'll give you two. From this list, if we can get Chris Rock and Darian Cooper, I think our defensive line would have a lot of promise.
Our D-line would consist of (when this class will be freshmen)
Seniors - Mike Martin, Ryan VanBergen, Watson, Brandon Herron, Will Heininger
Juniors - Will Campbell, Craig Roh
Sophomore (potentially redshirt frosh) - Anthony LaLota, Terry Talbott, Richard Ash, Jordan Paskorz, Kenny Wilkins, Jibreel Black
2011 class incoming with Brennen Beyer, Darian Cooper, and Chris Rock.
That looks pretty solid to me.
Thanks for taking the time Tom.
UM doesn't have enough scholarships to hand out if all of those guys commit.
If all of those guys want to commit, that's not a bad problem to have.
I'm just going to go ahead and write Trey DePriest's name in there in magic marker. I can get another screen guard. His name should be on there...........dammit. (sigh)
DePriest seems to be all over Alabama now. Looking like them and OSU. Meh.
Dubs
And who can blame him? Alabama is the new hot spot.
The thing working in our favor is depth. Alabama already has 2 LB's in their current class and has recruited that position well the last couple years. Hopefully he decides he doesn't want to have to wait his turn and comes here where he can step in and play right away, or close to it.
Nope, can't blame him at all. They have the NC cache and Saban can recruit.
Interesting how OSU has been losing out on the top player and players recently in the state. Only have had the top player once since 07 and got shut out of the top 4 last recruiting cycle.
Tom...
How solid are the OL prospects? We've heard a fair amount about Zettel and Yurut Yrurt Yertur Andre, but what's the word on Posada and Debell? And given the fact that Michigan is looking for 5-6 OL in this class, how much depth is there beyond those targets?
I though Tacopants let after 07? A NEW Tacopants? I thought we didn't recruit Mike DeBord type players anymore.
therefore, eligible to re-enroll.
The Fr**p claims that is a recruiting violation.
safe to say this one has jumped the shark by now
"jumping the shark" remains fresh though
joey sez "HEYHOWYOUDOIN'?"
is it possible to pinpoint when exactly "jumping the shark" jumped the shark?
the phrase "jumped the shark" has jumped the shark actually also jumped the shark a while back.
Obviously.
Unless you're talking about Tacopants' little brother, I thought Tacopants had infinite eligibility?! We saw him late in the Iowa game, he also made some other cameos, but for the most part his playing time in the game is directly determined by who's taking the snaps.
Dyson Blades would have fit in very well in the Steele Sword era.
... integral and patented components on those cutting edge vacuum cleaners?
Sharp.
Are you trying to covertly say that he sucks? He is just a boy.
I'm fairly amused there are only two people on this thread taking the original post seriously.
what else am i supposed to be doing at 4 pm on a wednesday?
It's the off-season... this is a well-worn topic... we're still eight months from signing day... typos in the post... a question that only ONE person can answer... the general bloody-mindedness of the Universe...
Take your pick.
I think we're all interested in the answer to the question. But we're also bored out of our minds by the lack of football, and we get a little punchy.
I really like the list that Tom showed. What a group of recruits.
Anyone read Tom's great diaries?
Just MGoSearch them, fer gawd's sakes. He's done like three diaries in the last weeks that should answer all your recruiting needs.
look them up, yo!
We just like to consume recruiting info before we realize.....
While you are in the "long recruiting list" mood, can you tell us the guys you've spoken to who will definitely be attending the Big House BBQ?
It seems like you've said "maybe" for a lot of guys, but are there any who have given you an unequivocal "yes" response?
I'll give you a diary post on it before the event. Still working on it.
