In-Home visit tidbits
Didn't see any of this in the last Recruiting Roundup so :
-Not an In-Home but Harbaugh just visited IMG to check in on '17 targets 4* Cesar Ruiz and 4* Jordan Anthony as well as '18 targets 5* Taron Vincent and 4* Brian Hightower.
-On Monday night coach Zordich had an in-home with Calabasa(Calif) 5-star CB Darnay Holmes. The writer seems optimistic despite popular thought being that Holmes will stay in California.
-This is interesting. On Tuesday Coach Fisch had an in-home with 4* WR and West Virginia commit Mike Harley Jr. There are 4 WR spots in the class and Hawkins has one locked down so the assumption was that DPJ, Nico Collins and Tarik Black had the other 3 with Oliver Martin on hold and in the alternate slot in case something odd happens. With Harley now back in the mix it makes me think the coaches aren't as optimistic on someone as the once thought.
-Harbaugh/Drevno had an in-home yesterday with 5* OT and Alabama commit Alex Leatherwood. God I want this to happen.
-3* DT Rutger Reitmaier and 4*DT Aubrey Solomon are also expected to get in-homes this week as well.

Attrition and 5th year players not returning.
December 1st, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^
Short answer - Roster attrition. Can have 85 players on scholarship. Lot of 4th year guys are not guaranteed that 5th year.
Where did you hear 28 from? Think the class at minimum will be 30.

I beleive he's saying he thought the NCAA maximum on a class size is 28.

Oh okay, I thought it was always 25 (excluding early enrollees), but that may have been the old rule. I'd like to get a better grasp of who will be enrolling early this year. Seems like a lot of guys we are going after want to.

DPJ is coming to AA.. Sam Webb has stated many times that Nico's dad is a huge Wolverines fan, so it would be a surprise to see him commit elsewhere.
December 1st, 2016 at 10:11 AM ^
Well crap, now it's not much of a secret anymore is it? You just coudn't keep your mouth shut.
December 1st, 2016 at 10:09 AM ^
I want him to, but I just can't see it happening.
December 1st, 2016 at 10:12 AM ^
How come?
December 1st, 2016 at 10:16 AM ^
And I have no recruiting connections at all........I guess I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment?
But also, maybe the staff thinks Drake Harris is leaving early? / s
December 1st, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
But he visited ten times! He has to stick with Michigan. At least that's what I'm believing until I hear otherwise. I'm going to wildly speculate that the staff knows he and DPJ are in the class and realized that they value a different position over another outside WR. Black moved his date up because he needed to in order to get into Bama's class. I also think that they like Harley's skill set better that Martin's.

Sure. How many times did $Treadwell visited Michigan before maximizing $ return from Old Miss? I am not saying Collin and his family are like that but you never know. If he has been to A2 10 times and still hasn't made the decision....hmmm
December 1st, 2016 at 1:46 PM ^
Everyone here wants to forget Treadwell. He wouldn't had helped us under Hoke anyway.
December 1st, 2016 at 11:41 AM ^
Darnay Holmes
Najee Harris
Drew Singleton
Big names......hope we can make up some ground with these guys

I posted this already in the recruiting article on the front page, but Jay Harbaugh just tweeted out a cryptic tweet:
"The grind is rewarded." The tweet had a geo-locator of the hometown of OL target Aaron Banks.

As long as we get DPJ and any combinatin of 2 of Collins, Black, Martin, or Harley, I'm fine with our WR class for this year.
