Are we in decent shape with most of these guys? I have not heard much about Mangham but I assume we are involved.

I'll take all of those guys please and thank you.
Dobbs, Brown, and Smith would be especially helpful.
Is Dobbs the player who went to Ohio St's camp and got an offer as a freshman after destroying one of Meyer's DE commits? If so, I want him at Michigan.
big year for instate offensive linemen
Nice. Should be another good in state haul.
The talent level in Michigan is increasing each year, a lot of good players are starting to get recognized. This is great for Michigan and some other schools in the midwest. MSU, however is on the verge of being crippled. If Mich does snag 4/6 or higher MSU will officially hit rock bottom, if they havent already.
"The talent level in Michigan is increasing each year."
I don't know if that's an accurate statement. It was an up year in 2017, I think there's a drop-off in 2018, and then it seems to be another good year in 2019. To Michigan fans, maybe it SEEMS like there's more talent each year because the top guys are committing to or very interested in Michigan, whereas Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Michigan State were pulling in a lot of the good players for a while.
Hinton wants to play defense.
This guys name is Thibodeaux and you're trying to tell me he doesn't live in southern Louisiana? Bulllllllll
I'm surprised sparty hasn't offered Owen Pappoe or Faatui Tuitele.....if you don't feel like clicking on the link, I think they were 3 and 9.
Chris Hinton, and Stephon Herron Jr. all look phenominal. Would love all 3.
We are in good shape with Dobbs, Brown, and Grant.
We haven't offered Smith, Barnett, or Mangham.
Barnett and Dobbs have been on fire lately with new offers.
does anyone know historically the level of talent that Michigan High School's typically possess?
This last year (e.g. Peoples-Jones being #1 WR Overall) seemed incredibly talent-laden (and in perfect timing for our massive numbers of senior departures) than I'm used to seeing.
This year seems more like what I'm used to, but, is that average for what Michigan high school's typically produce?
Straight to the Big House!
GO BLUE!
