Self promotion.

A few grayshirts and some potential decommits could open up some more spots. Room for other guys to commit as well.

You will get some snark because this topic has been addressed at length, including in the "upshot for the rest of the class section" of Ace's Hello: Devin Bush post. But, to answer your question:
1. There will probably be a few kids from the current class that go elsewhere; that is normal, and I expect that if better prospects want to commit, Harbaugh will honestly tell them that while he will honor the scholarship, he doesn't expect them to have much, if any playing time, and suggest that they look elsewhere;
2. Pie is not coming, as I do not believe that we would take anothe receiver unless it was someone truly elite;
3. The max is 28, as early enrolees get backdated;
4. Even if we get Gary, Hill, Walker and Long (far from a certainty and getting even 3 of these would be amazing), we would only be at 26 (and then see point 1), leaving room for at least 2 more.

The Michigan beat writers seem pretty confident that Jim is only taking 27 in this class.

don't end up committing, I see us missing out on a couple positions of need.
If we only have 5 spots left, which would conceivably be:
- Gary
- Mathis/Nauta
- Long
- Walker
- Jones/Jackson
That would leave out a WR, another spot for Hill, an offensive lineman, and possibly another interior defensive lineman. I'd especially hate to lose one of the two OL Michigan is after. Should be interesting in any case.

You can have 28 and you can back date 3 to the previous class.
December 16th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
Lorenz is pretty adamant that Michigan is going to only take 27 instead of the maximum possible 28.
December 16th, 2015 at 2:19 PM ^
You can only do that if you can get to 85 by fall. We don't have that many open spots.

why does Scout's say 23...
December 16th, 2015 at 3:05 PM ^
Scout still lists Dele' Harding as a commit, while the other sites no longer have him as a part of the class.

Devin Bush Jr. makes 5 recruits from Florida, with two more targets from the Sunshine state still on the board. Not to mention three recruits are from New Jersey, with two more still on the board from the Garden State. Two others are from Maryland, with one more on the board from the Old Line State. Here's a free map to the recruits' homes! Home towns, that is. I mean, seriously...
Meanwhile, there is only one recruit from Michigan (Onwenu) with one other on the board (Lavert Hill) - and none from Ohio. This is shaping up to be an unprecedented recruiting class, in more ways than one!

Tomahawk Nation poster thinks UM is going to hire Bush, Sr.?
Anything out there?

Perfect complement to Bush and Butt.
