Playing with the Class Calculator on 247
Yeah, I'm bored.
Just for shitz n grinz I subtracted N Harris from Bama. Added Harris, Nico, Filiaga and Solomon to the good guys and ended up at roughly 300 for each team. That sort of shows the lead Bama has up to this point. Granted, Bama will add a player or 3, especially if Harris would decommit.
My guess is Nico and Filiaga will be Blue and our chances might be better for Harris than they are for Solomon. Who knows. It isn't that far out of the range of possibilities to add those 4.
IMO, Recruiting is like a drive in golf to use a golf analogy. Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh and Smart all hit their drives and you could throw a blanket on top of the drives. They are all good classes. Its what they do with the 2nd shot and putting, development, etc will make a team successful.
Dontonio's drive is back about 40 yards and in the rough, btw. Poor Sparty!
Go Blue!

Another spring at IMG!

Here's who we're looking at (that I know of):
1.) Najee Harris (Crystal ball prediction: 33%, 2nd highest chance)
2.) Aubrey Solomon (4%, T-3rd, although he said himself that Michigan was the leader in November)
3.) Chuck Filiaga (75%, 1st)
4.) Nico Collins (75%, 1st)
5.) Tedarrell Slaton (38%, T-1st)
6.) Jay Tufele (Considered in 20% 'foggy' range, although his interest in Michigan is listed as 'warmer')
7.) Willie Gay (12%, although he said Michigan was his #1 before his visit to Ann Arbor in October, which he made very positive comments on afterwards)
If we get all of those guys, the score rises to 308.64, but let's be realistic. How many of these guys do you all see us picking up?

for Gay and Slaton?
that seems to be the issue with them
Filliaga and a NT are the 2 most important pieces IMO

A player they're looking at after Wilson did not commit is Mekhi Becton. OT Huge guy. High ceiling? I think thats the word on him.
Look at his hudl about half way through. He down blocks or whatever it is they call it when the OT just goes at the defensive guys legs. He's fairly agile for his size, imo.

I'll take any top 10 class. Harbaugh will build a great team with his recruits. Last year he was number 5 and most likely be number 3 in '17. I was a bit surprised he did not get a bigger bump in '15 but it is hard to recruit with only 1 month on the job.

Nico: I dont think were getting Nico anymore. He just said he will announce in February where hell go. If Alabama wins it all like they are supposed to, I think that hype might draw him to Bama
Fillaga: I think hes a lock for Michigan
Solomon: I think hes going to come to his sense and come back to Michigan. I mean he decommited over a thank you card? lol. That isnt a serious reason to not choose a school over
Harris: Im scared on Harris. Many people forget HE IS AN ALABAMA COMMITT. He could simply not be saying anything because........hes committed to Alabama. Now I do like that he continues to rock Michigan gear. I know that doesnt mean much but if he really didnt like UM anymore I dont think hed wear our clothing. Its 50/50 in my mind

Oh no, that could only be bad news. Especially if you ignore little things like it's about the 100th time he's said that and he's never said anything else. Waiting to see if Bama is good, also logical. Now I'm really worried.
Thanks for the news on Harris. I had no idea he was committed to Bama. No one ever mentions that.

Hey, I decommited from Harvard over a card.
It said "You can't come here".

we have 18 4/5 stars - the rest are 3-star development guys for depth to overcome previous recruiting classes
Bama has 20
OSU 16
Georgia 17
LSU 12
in other words, the top of our class is on par with just about everyone
