All the hoopla about "bright young recruiters"

They MIGHT add 1 or 2 more 4* tops. Its looking like a class with more 500+ overall rated players than not, like the 2018 disaster.

This is growing into a trend, them somehow managing to exceed expectations for one year this season is not going to automatically fix it either.

Michigan crystal balls for uncommitted recruits:

Recruit NamePos247 Rate247 RankCB %
Oscar DelpTE95.86#9433%
Dillon TatumATH90.47#267100%
Deone WalkerDL89.50#326100%
Ja'Kobi AlbertATH89.00#35833%
Dillon BellWR87.29#567100%
Jeremy PattonWR87.10#5897.7%
Deuce SpurlockATH84.16#119650%
A few notes on the above....

Oscar Delp is a Sam Webb Special. Blue Sam cast his Michigan CB way back on September 23, 2020, and has not updated it since then. In the meantime, SEVEN other experts (including Wiltfong) have cast CBs for Georgia.

Jeremy Patton has only one Michigan CB (from, you guessed it, Sam Webb), but it is the most recent CB cast (July 14th), so maybe Blue Sam will get this one right.

The most recent CBs for Albert and Spurlock are against Michigan (Auburn and Mississippi State, respectively).

If Michigan should land all three 100% CB targets (Tatum, Walker, Bell) and their most recent CB (Patton), then their class would have 20 commitments with a total score of 229.02 points (up from 212.21 points) and an average per recruit of 88.52 (up slightly from 88.50).

By way of comparison, Ohio State currently has 17 commitments with a total score of 286.97 and an average per recruit of 94.37 ... and the Buckeyes are still legit contenders for at least a half dozen top prospects (Zion Branch, Xavier Nwankpa, Earnest Greene, Kam Dewberry, Chris McClellan, Kenyatta Jackson, Caden Curry, Hero Kanu).

Talent gap, anyone?

And on that note, Wiltfong dropped his CB for Bell to 1… consensus is that Jawja will land him. Incredible.

They basically recruited themselves out of the Delp sweepstakes by accepting commitments from the #518 composite, #27 TE AND the #587 composite, #29 TE.

I’m sure it was through 4D chess scouting and not incompetence, laziness, or just plain giving up.

But I thought all of the yoot on their coaching staff would attract these kind of guys???

Not a lot of movement for Michigan guys. Some guys you would have expected to make a decent jump and they actually moved down slightly.

Seems like their supreme talent evaluation is...a bit off the mark.

I really wonder what they sold Johnson and if at some point he will wake up.

He is like a question on the SAT exam "Which of these is not like the others?"

Being a legacy has got to be the only thing clinging on there. I'd assume he has a change of heart if their season doesn't go ok enough.

Funny thing is they still think they can flip Domani Jackson from USC, even though they can't even reel in low rated 3* DBs they were supposedly the front runners for.

A bad season can also work in scUM's favor. Hairball can sell him on early PT and the fact that he'd be a legend and turn scUM around.
