2019 has more potential than any Michigan class in the modern recruiting era. Maybe Ever. The amount of attention we are garnering from the Top Elite talent in the country is something Michigan hasnt seen in a Long Time.

Top Talent Looking At Michigan

JT Daniels #1 QB 5 Star

Noah Cain #1 RB 5 Star

Devontae Dobbs #1 OT 5 Star (We Lead Crystal Balls)

Chris Hinton #2 SDE 5 Star (We Lead Crystal Balls)

Josh Sanguinetti #2 ATH 5 Star

Logan Brown #10 OT 4 Star (We Lead Crystal Balls)

Marvin Grant #2 Safety 4 Star (We Lead Crystal Balls)

The in-State talent for Michigan in 2019 is about as good as it gets . Theres roughly Six 4 Stars and One 5 Star.

All we have to do is beat Ohio State, have a 10+ Win season, and win a decent bowl game to keep this momentum going

I know there are different psychologies involved in different games, but Wisconsin, MSU and Northwestern had them on the ropes last year, and most people here know how I feel about Penn State's perception. We obviously outplayed them and Clemson mollywhopped them. OSU is far from the indomitable machine that they are made out to be.

Dobbs is still 2 years away and his parents are major Michigan fans. I agree that we shouldn't slow play him but I think the relationship will get to where it needs to be. I think we have probably given OSU more of a shot than we would like but I still think he ends up in Ann Arbor.

Of course, the kid could be looking to spread his wings a bit and leave the area.  I would certainly understand that - I did the same after college.

Let's hope he stays local for universities and can spread his wings after he gets drafted in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft!  I wrote that just so I could write 2022 draft - it is crazy to me how fast time is going.

Daniels is like Andrew Luck. He's smart enough to go to Stanford and he's the best QB. He would be insane not to go to Jim Harbaugh. He's supposed to visit this month I believe

As for Dobbs I mean we are leading the Ballz so obviously the insiders feel we have a good enough relationship to land him.

#1 OT is in Michigan...........WE BETTER NOT FUCKING LET HIM GO!

The main competition probably will be Stanford for Daniels. Meyer is kissing the ass of every highly rated sixteen out there that may be interested in Michigan. Shit Meyer why don't you have Noah Cain move in with you if your that scared he might go to Michigan. I am sure he paid to have him back on campus before Michigan visit.

He wasn't a big football fan growing up so he didn't really grow up an OSU fan. That being said, he is probably going to be a 5-star from now until signing day and one of the most coveted prospects in the country. I think we have a really good shot, but we will be fighting OSU, Bama, Notre Dame, etc. His lack of ties to OSU could help us but also open him up to other national powers we will have to contend with.

Yet again, it's a reminder that I am not getting any younger - we're now talking about recruiting cycles in which none of the kids were alive for any part of the 20th century, whereas many of us lived through a nice chunk of it.

Buckeyes are a real threat here. He already had a three-day unofficial there in April. When they found out he was going to Michigan for four days they wanted him back again before his trip to Ann Arbor. So he goes back there for a second visit for three more days from the 16th-18th. Harbaugh wants to spend alot of time with him and show him how high of a priority he is. That is the reason for the four-day visit.

That's not good. They will wear him out and after two days in AA he will be ready to sleep in his own bed for a change. Harbaugh needs to be creative enough to keep his attention and the enthusiasm level high. As you can see OSU already has a plan to de-rail our plan.

Harbaugh just needs to kick the shit out of Meyer. Ohio state talks about crazy Jimmy but I believe Meyer and his coaching staff would do just about anything to land a recruit. That school is becoming very suspect and fan bases across the country are becoming very vocal about osu recruiting. I would love to hear from a recruit what Meyer and his toadies say about UM and Harbaugh. I am sure they follow every five stars visit with what do you need to come play ball at osu. Talk to coach coombs he's got a number of a guy who can make that happen. Meyer was foul at Florida and when things started getting suspect there he developed the infamous chest pains that miracuosly just went away. At the time osu fans were against Meyer and were maybe the loudest of all, but funny know that he is at osu he runs the straightest program out there. BULLSHIT!!.

Long visits over 3 days can be a little drawn out. Hopefully it coincides with the BBQ so he doesn't get bored and has some other (100% Blue) recruits to hang out with. I like the idea (4 days) but sometimes it's hard to keep a recruits attention that long. I had a chance to look at his highlights and they are very impressive. He has a low center of gravity and power that I Ithink translates well to the next level. Reminds me of LeVeon Bell in that he is patient enough to wait for things to develop. I know coaches teach RB's to keep running hard, but backs like him and Bell seem to do very well waiting and then flying through to hole, particularly in tight spaces. They definitely have his attention, now they gotta close the deal (Sure wish Wheatley was around for this one). Go Blue!!!!!!

I just listened to his interview on WTKA. He is more mature and more polished than people in my office who are paid to do public speaking for a living.
