Commit Prediction Thread
a number of sources including Sam Webb and WolverineWire (Isiah Hole's new gig) are stating that we will pick up another commitment today. Sam says that he's a four-star. it's unclear whether Sam means a four-star in his view, on 247, or on the composite. make your predictions below. my guess is Denver Warren, 2020 DT from Illinois.
If it's truly a kid that is already rated as a 4-star on the composite, I'm gonna be optimistic and say Keegan or Cine, leaning to Keegan.
Cine would be a fantastic steal from the state of TX, and especially from PSU, who appears to be the 100% leader.
He's such an interesting recruitment. He's from Florida originally, he was living in Boston and going to Everett when we offered him, and just moved to Texas this year. He has 100% CBs to PSU, but they've already taken two safeties in this class and 10 of those 12 crystal balls came in February of this year or earlier. He's kind of a Don Brown special, we just got him on campus for the first time, and I think his recruitment has tipped away from PSU and towards us.
I was in Boston last week and talked to a friend of Cine who said that Cine absolutely LOVED his visit. I didn't get the impression that a commitment was imminent, but I did get the impression that Michigan is very much in the running for that recruitment.

I'm praying its Cine. I believe he's ranked in the low 40s right now and I still think that he's under ranked. He is a vicious hitter that would be fantastic in this defense. To me he looks like Kam Chancellor.
Me too! Hell, I was happy when I learned he transferred to TX from Everett. My son's (HS JR) team is playing Everett this year. Hoping Sainristil joins his former teammate, both in BLUE and in Texas!!!
Keegan
Well we're heavy in it with 2019 4 stars S Cine, OT Keegan, or WR Kyle Ford. No clue if it's a 2020 kid.
My money is on Keegan tho.
BigTrev!
Does anyone know what time this is supposed to happen?
I'd kind of like to get some things done today instead of sitting here 'refreshing' the day away. :)
I'm guessing Quentin Johnson
Evan Petzold, Michigan recruiting reporter, said it’s not Johnson on the Twitters. Although, he is announcing tomorrow and we’re the favorites
Quentin is definitely committing soon so he is the chalk in this game.
I think someone posted last week about some defensive guy committing at the opening not sure of his name
Denver Warren
Trevor Keegan
Harrison Bailey
In that order
Bri'onte Dunn
Ah, a classic.
Alex Kozan
Harrod? Was trying to figure out based on a 4 star that Sam already has a Crystal Ball in for.
Ford
Harrod’s not a four star, staff has moved on from him. Sam might not have a CB in for this pending commit - he tries to not steal kids’ thunder by throwing a last second CB in just to boost his score.
In other words, Sam doesn't write for the Freep.
Here's a clue...
_ach _arrison
I like the way you think, delusional as it may be.
I've never heard of "Ach Arrison"
Sounds like a 0*. Paging Bluey for his insight!!!
Ahhhh. Bluey. Took to long to flush that turd.
Is it wrong that I miss the guy a bit? I have nobody to use my sparkling witt against.
The other trolls: AK47, Albatross, MGrowOld and others have disappeared with the recent commit run.
mGrowOld is not a troll
Not only that, the guy's a veteran on this blog. He may say some things I don't agree with, but damn, not everyone with a conflicting opinion is a troll.
Just that word, troll, needs to he phased out or something. Tired of seeing it.
Concern troll - not like a Sparty troll. His melt down over Jeff George Jr. getting a walk on spot was a shark jumping moment.
he won’t admit that he overreacted.
*Wit. Sheesh. And I don't think MGrowOld is a troll. He's just old, and sometimes cranky as a result.
Too many starz.
Too many starz.
Need to add a star!
Data question/Nerd Alert.
Guys, its a little slow here at work so I've got time to look into recruiting stars, stats, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows of any easy to use databases on basketball recruiting stars. Right now, 247, rivals, ESPN, etc. all only have the data on stars in image format -- can't C&P, as it's an image -- would have to manually copy this over.
It'll end up in a nice off-season diary about correlations between Fr.-to-Soph. stats and recruiting rankings to (for instance) draft pick/position and pro stats.
I know Seth has a data set for Michigan football, but was wondering if anyone knows of a good set for basketball.
Also, can't figure out how to create new posts. Sorry for embedding here. :(
Basketball? We talkin' basketball? We're a football school!!
(Am I doing this right?)
I'd say you won't find a spreadsheet of recruiting data from the recruiting services because they don't want to give away their IP. They get paid money to compile and show that data - they don't want some nerd making better sense of it than they do. However, feel free to manually copy all of that stuff so you can enlighten us with your knowledge! I'd love to see your results...
Sorry, can't help you with any hoops databases but the link below will allow you to create a new board post:
Hey - slightly different but along the same lines.
I am also on the hunt for some raw data. From what I can tell around 2014 most of the open APIs that were available to grab this data closed up. ESPN discontinued its API and I believe agreed to some sort of deal with Sports Radar. Sports Radar has everything I want but they will not give me access.
This market seems ripe for a disrupter for decentralization. Make an open API and just charge for blocks of calls. There are other services doing this but not play by play data. At least not that I could find.
Final rant - is there really more than 1 recruiting service at this time. How many staff members does ESPN actually have dedicated to college recruiting?
cozan
Any update on Quavaris Crouch? I know its a long shot, especially now that Michigan has two 4 star RB commits, but his high school tape is outrageous.
Zach Harrison would be an incredible get too, just ran a 4.47 forty.
Harrison is a 5*
I believe we are recruiting Crouch for LB
Crouch wants to ply defense.
Crouch is deciding in August. Lorenz thinks we are definitely in the top 2 with Tennessee
Giles Jackson.
Yeah, he's technically not a 4* but he seems to be a 4* talent, doing well at the Opening Finals. You got Cade in his ear telling him to hurry up so that Wandale Robinson doesn't take his spot. Cade and Giles have a history together playing on the same 7x7 team. So, yeah, could be Giles.
Almost positive its a 2019 guy considering the "upshot for the rest of the class" section in Ojabo's Hello post.
That's not for sure since Quentin Johnson is committing tomorrow. Whoever is committing later today is a surprise that is not scheduled. Many thought it would be sainristil since he would be a flip but it's a 4 star guy so that really opens up the board to a major surprise in 2019 or a 2020 kid
Ohh I like surprises. Commitmiss is always better with multiple surpises
My guess is Keegan or Cine, probably Keegan.
Serious question though, how does one get to Isaiah's new site, the wolverine wire? I can't seem to find it for some reason
