Football recruiting off to a hot start for 2013

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>We all know that Shane Morris, five star prospect and one of the top 3 pro-style QBs of the 2013 class, has already verbally committed, but since then, Michigan has secured the verbal commitments of another nine four star recruits, including four OLmen. Having 10 verbal commitments of such calibre so early in the process of impressive to say the least, even of those commitments are not binding. It speaks volumes to how well coach Hoke is doing. Below is a list of our verbal commitments to date:</p>

<p>QB Shane Morris, 6'3", 190 LBS, ***** (#16 player in the nation)
OL Chris Fox, 6'6", 300 LBS, **** (#46 player in the nation)
OL Kyle Bosch, 6'5", 290 LBS, **** (#60 player in the nation)
OL Logan Tuley-Tillman, 6'7", 280 LBS, **** (#109 player in the nation)
OL David Dawson, 6'6", 300 LBS, **** (#199 player in the nation)
TE Jake Butt, 6'6", 230 LBS, **** (#96 player in the nation)</p>

<p>DE Wyatt Shallman, 6'3", 260 LBS, **** (#160 player in the nation)
DE Taco Charlton, 6'6", 240 LBS, **** (#183 player in the nation)
DB Dymonte Thomas, 6'1", 180 LBS, **** (#77 player in the nation)
DB Jourdan Lewis, 5'11", 170 LBS, **** (#167 player in the nation)</p>

<p>We are already set at OL, QB and TE. We really need to recruit a couple of difference makers at RB and WR. We also need to recruit CBs and DLmen.</p>

<p>Alexander, you missed two commits - Khalid Hill (TE) and Jaron Dukes (WR)</p>

<p>[Hello:</a> Khalid Hill | mgoblog](<a href=“http://mgoblog.com/content/hello-khalid-hill]Hello:”>Hello: Khalid Hill | mgoblog)</p>

<p>[Hello:</a> Jaron Dukes | mgoblog](<a href=“http://mgoblog.com/content/hello-jaron-dukes]Hello:”>Hello: Jaron Dukes | mgoblog)</p>

<p>Remember drake Johnson has verbally committed for rb.</p>

<p>Jaron Dukes is a good start at WR. There are a handful of other 6’3" WRs that have been offered. Among them, Marquez North, Robert Foster, Laquon Treadwell, Marcell Ateman and Demorea Strongfellow. Hopefully, a couple of them will bite!</p>

<p>At RB, I really hope we can land at least two good ones. Ty Isaac, Derrick Green or Justin Davis are all excellent and have been offered.</p>

<p>Taco Charlton said he loved that at the end of the Ohio State basketball game he attended, the Maize Rage chanted “we want Taco”. That made a difference to him he said as a lifelong Buckeye fan.</p>

<p>It is always nice to get our meat hooks into Buckeye prospects! ;)</p>

<p>There are so many great players that we have offered, hopefully, a few of them will sign with Michigan next year. I can think of the following players:</p>

<p>OL
Patrick Kugler
Brendan Mahon
Ethan Pocic *
Laremy Tunsil</p>

<p>RB
Justin Davis *
Derrick Green
Ty Isaac</p>

<p>WR
Marcell Ateman
Darrell Daniels *
Robert Foster
Marquez North *
Demorea Strongfellow *
Laquon Treadwell</p>

<p>DT
Michael Hill *
Justin Manning
Henry Poggi
Greg Webb</p>

<p>DE
Jonathan Allen *
Joe Mathis *
Al-Quadin Muhammad *
Wyatt Teller *
Eddie Vanderdoes</p>

<p>LB
Michael Hutchings
E.J. Levenberry Jr.
Mike McCray
Dorian O’Daniel
Jaylon Smith *</p>

<p>DB
Su’a Cravens *
Antwuan Davis *
Kendall Fuller
Vernon Hargrewaves III *
Tim Harris
Kameron Miles
Priest Willis *</p>

<p>All of those players have been offered, but I doubt more than a handful will join. Even then, adding 4-5 of those players to our current 13 is sure to give Michigan another top 10 class. Those with a * next to their name seem to have Michigan high on their list.</p>

7

<p>You needed to add an * after this guy’s name.</p>

<p>OL
Patrick Kugler</p>

<p>Michigan just got him! ;-)</p>
