Recruiting Update: Top Five Prospects Most-likely to Go Blue!

-
1. Keisean Lucier-South, DE: Scout Grade: 88/100 (three or four year starter and contributor on day one) The five-star pass-rusher from So Cal appears to really like Michigan as well as some of the other guys currently committed to the program. He tweeted a shout-out to his "bros" Darrin Kirkland Jr. and Alex Malzone over the weekend, as both guys joined him and hundreds of other recruits at the Opening. Lucier-South's visit to Ann Arbor for the Penn State game on October 11th will likely be the final opportunity for the program to make a big impression on him. 
2. Brian Cole, WR/CB/Athlete: Scout Grade: 83/100 (two or three year starter and immediate return specialist) The best prospect in the state of Michigan right now would be a huge addition to the Wolverines' roster. Whether he plays offense, defense, or special teams, Cole has the raw talent to become a great college football player. If he likes what he sees this weekend at the Barbecue at the Big House then I wouldn't be surprised to see a commitment from him soon. Originally, I thought the Spartans were in the lead for his services, and I wouldn't really change that quite yet, but I really like Michigan's chances going into this weekend's event.
UPDATE: Cole committed to the Wolverines on Satruday, as I was writing this piece.
3. Mike Weber, RB: Scout Grade: 81 (two or three year starter) Weber seems like a great fit and he was seen wearing a Michigan T-shirt at the Opening last week, but the Spartans once again are also in hot pursuit for his services. The opportunity is there for him to help turn one of the greatest college football programs of all-time in the right direction after several years of mediocrity. 
4. Darian Roseboro, DL: Scout Grade: 80 (two or three year starter) Getting this kid would greatly make up for missing out on some of the better strong-side end prospects over the last couple years. Whether it's at end or tackle, he looks like starter-quality material. He too will be attending the BBQ at the Big House event this weekend is expected to make his decision a couple weeks later. 
5. Tyrone Wheatley Jr., TE/DE:Scout Grade: 78 (two year starter or role-player) A solid four-star legacy prospect seems to fit the mold of what the coaches want at both TE and DE. His diversity is a huge plus and he will likely become a solid contributor for the team some day.

2020 Recruiting Class Among the Top in the Nation (whether you believe it or not).

-
Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan coaching staff are wrapping things up for the 2020 recruiting class to mixed reviews. It's hard to argue against the talent they did acquire, but most detractors point to the lack of 5-Stars and the few big whiffs on top recruits to end the cycle. The simple fact of the matter is that it is another class by Harbaugh that ranks among the top 10% of college programs. In other words, with a 12th ranked rectuiting class, they were still better than 118 of the other 129 teams out there. Anyway I look at it, it still amazes me how people can be upset about it. Yes, it is true that they are not landing the big-time top-heavy classes that Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson continue to land, but that is okay. It has to be okay because that's just not where the Wolverines are at right now. It is still a lot better than most though. And just ask Texas, UCLA, Tennessee, USC, and Nebraska fans how they would feel about the prospect of playing the Crimson Tide

The Must-Get Prospects of 2022 - UPDATED By Position

-
High Priorities:  Defensive Secondary: One of the most important position groups to focus on in this cycle. Michigan only signed two DB's last year, so there could be as many as six DB prospects taken in this round of recruiting. It's a good thing that there are a lot of quality prospects in play here and it's even better than some of them are already committed.  Will Johnson 5-Star (Gross Pointe, MI) Grade: 98 - COMMITTED The 2022 recruiting class is loaded with top-notch prospects at corner. Johnson is by all measures a top 15 overall recruit and being that he is an in-state legacy prospect, one couldn't find a bigger "must-get" player in any cycle. Wherever he goes he should immediately be competing for playing time and he has the raw skills to become a shutdown player at the next level. He is the number one player on Michigan's board, period.  Chace Biddle 4-Star (Garland, TX) Grade: 86 - Is a big name out of Texas that is high on the Michigan bo

Recruiting Class, 2021 - The Final Positional Grades

-
 Quarterback  J.J. McCarthy  5-Star  (6'3"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not the biggest kid or the passer with the strongest arm. He's just the best QB prospect that Harbaugh has brought to Michigan so far, and he is enrolled early to learn the offense this spring. Positional Grade: A- Running Back Donovan Edwards 5 -Star  (5'11"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not only did Harbaugh sign the best quarterback of his Michigan head coaching career but he also signed the best running back so far too. Edwards brings a ton of speed to the table and can take it to the house on any given play. He was just awarded First Team All-American by Max Preps will get reps as a freshman after enrolling early too. Tavierre Dunlap  4-Star  (6'0"/195lbs) Grade: 79 - A very solid back that could compliment Edwards well. He is a bit bigger and has some decent wheels in his own right, though he is not as fast as Edwards. He could be a starter someday too. He too is enrolled early. Positional  Grad
