    Michigan's only real chance at Stanford is if OSU fills up on WRs before he commits. If Thomas beats Stanford to the punch, then Michigan may be a player for him.

    No way will we get Stanford.. unless something drastic happens.

    Dorboh and Payton are realistic.

    Correct.

    Just saw that Kyle Kalis dislocated his kneecap and has bone chips floating around in the knee. Hopefully its something that he can come back from and be ready to go at least by next fall.

    Kalis said he was okay, which is a relief.

    They can take 28 kids now and they are at 22 because pf the walk on. This because of the 2 that left. I expect a 26 or 27 class.

    Freshman TE Chris Barnett is no longer at Michigan. Haven't looked to see why yet, but I'm disappointed.

    Terry Talbott gone as well?

    Correct. Due to injury.

    Barnett tweeted a little while ago...
    I will always have respect&love for #michigan. its a great school and big things will happen in the near future. it just wasnt for me.
    Sounds like it might be issues with his family (dad in particular).

    He showed up WAY overweight and didn't go hard in practice.

    No surprise here.

    He was one of the two guys I had heard were potentially leaving, now the waiting game again.

    This is not good, having potentially 30 freshmen next year against maybe the toughest nonconference schedule ever is scary. I really think Hoke is going to have to go after a few juco players, he should be able pick whoever he wants as long as they qualify since they will be guaranteed playing time.

    Yeah, he was 280 in the spring. Hoke half-jokingly told him if he gained more he'd move him to offensive tackle.

    I bet he rebuilds through regular recruiting and avoids the JUCO route. JUCO fixes rarely work well.

    This. Hoke won't out right say it, but he doesn't feel like there is enough talent to win big. Only way to fix that is with recruiting.

    Michigan commit Joe Bolden will be playing on ESPN today at 3pm.
  • bo shemmy3337
    Might have smore more room in this class with the few kids leaving. I expect UM to grab one 4 star WR and get Dimond. The other 4 or so spots left are really up to whomever desides to commit first.
  • WebFire
    I'd like to see 2 WRs, 1 OL, 1 DT.

    2013 Michigan commit QB Shane Morris was given a 5* rating by Scout today.

    This kid has legit talent.

    Sound like Kelvin Grady and Vincent Smith will be on KR duty, while Jeremy Gallon will be PR.
