This is a crossover from the shenanigans thread.
So they’re looking at the following prospects.

From LA and currently 100% projected to USC with 5 predictions. An MGoBlog poster claims ND is running 2nd which is likely delaying his signing, but he has some friends on Michigan’s team and visited once. Looks like UM is running third at best.

Committed to UM earlier in the year before flipping to MSU following UM’s embarrassing loss to the Spartans. This seems like by far their most likely opportunity to add a decent prospect at a position of need.

NJ prospect. Projections are split between BC (2), Penn State (1), and one guy I’ve never heard of on Michigan. It looks like they’ve got some ground to make up at the very least if they’re even in it at all.

Nice name. CA prospect 100% projected to A&M with 6 predictions. Was mentioned by an MGo poster but feels like grasping at straws.
And that appears to be it right now to back up Matty’s confident boast.
Also worth noting the major defensive staff shakeup they’re projecting right now.
I like the idea that they previously had to poach a DL coach from Navy (who shockingly hasn’t been great at recruiting...or developing talent) but they’re going to get someone better to step into their current dumpster fire under a HC on the autism spectrum with no job security (assuming he is retained at all).
If not and the entire staff is revamped, their shot at landing anyone else in the ‘21 class is basically zero.
Fun stuff.
