Michigan has just landed a very big fish in the class of 2019:

That's GA OL/DL Chris Hinton, currently #9 in the 2019 composite rankings and a very likely five star. Hinton had offers from just about everybody; the most relevant suitors were Stanford, OSU, Bama, Clemson, and Georgia. He is a major pull out of Georgia, further establishing Michigan as a force in that talent-rich state.
As a bonus, he's got a 2020 brother, Myles, who is also tracking towards being a big-time prospect.
A full Hello post will appear tomorrow, as if by magic.

That'd a big man and a big addition. Go Blue!!!

This is shaping up to be a fantastic Defense for many years to come!
August 5th, 2017 at 10:38 PM ^
kudos to all involved. I know there's a long way to go... but this fantastic.
I can't wait for the hello post to see what drew Hinton to Michigan.
This is out of the blue and into the maize.
Welcome Mr. Hinton.

I remember Hokes 3rd year when the top receiver and Fournette commited within days of each other. It takes a while to pick up steam on the crootin' trail when a new coach arrives. Seems like Harbaugh has gotten over that hump. I think the negative talk of other coaches claiming that Harbaugh was gonna go back to the NFL within a couple of years is wearing a little thin with these young guys that have seen Jim at Michigan during their whole highschool tenures. I look forward to many more.

not to nitpick but damien harris committed not fournette (and i forget the receivers name but i know hes at fsu)

I was thinking George Hamilton, thats the orange actor. lol Looks like Campbell has 3 catches for 42 yards for his career.
August 5th, 2017 at 11:35 PM ^
But we had them on the hook during that season that we started out with the crushing loss to bama and they slipped away as the season went into the toilet.

It didn't take Harbaugh a while to build steam.. Go back and look at the 2016 class, his first real class and on just one year of recruiting. And the 2017 was just as good, if not better. He hit the ground running and he won't stop until he dies.
August 5th, 2017 at 10:46 PM ^
this is a guy get for the program! Along with Herron, Rumler and Thomas, 2019 is looking like it could be a very special class...
that DL could be an all timer...

wow, key pickup. a big time georgia prospect with national offers, hinton carries serious recruiting weight...not sure hell finish quite so highly ranked but its huge for other prospects to see national 5 star types comfortably committed and repping m.
not to mention hes a versatile talent with potential to satisfy any of several roster needs...hinton is clearly a large, athletic dude with potential to make a real impact at SDE, DT, OT or OG, depending on how he develops
August 5th, 2017 at 11:07 PM ^
This guy can BALL.
This 2019 class is shaping up to be one of the best ever if we can hold onto all of these guys.
We'll need some of these guys to come in and play as impact true freshman if we want a run at the playoff in 2019.
August 5th, 2017 at 11:16 PM ^
You mean a third consecutive run at the playoff!
August 5th, 2017 at 11:19 PM ^
August 5th, 2017 at 11:19 PM ^
does this mean that no other teams from the south want him? I thought I heard that Michigan would never get a highly ranked recruit out of the south if an SEC team wanted him (paraphase).
August 6th, 2017 at 12:05 AM ^
2019 seems to be a loaded class, and hopefully monster 2018 (and 2017) teams on the field will help solidify it. Now go lock down Dobbs, get Crouch and Cain!
August 6th, 2017 at 11:14 AM ^
If this is true, the Dobbs' recruitment will be one to watch.
Does the staff sink assets into changing his mind just because he's from in state?
Does his top 50 status stick if he's showing "prima donna" tendencies?
In the end, I'm thinking he just might not be a "fit" for the UofM program for potentially a few reasons and if he ends up a top program then that's good for high school players in the state as well.
We sure don't want top ranked kids from, let's say "Georgia", to stay in state for no other reason that " the best players in the state........." Bla bla bla bla bla.
Logan Brown is trending heavily to Michigan and, in my assessment, has a higher ceiling-in every way. Brown has visited multiple times and Dobbs seems to think Michigan should chase after him. This 2019 Michigan class is going to be a two-way street and Harbaugh is not going to take kids who think the world revolves around them. And here, clearly character matters to the Michigan staff...look at the kids they are bringing in...who wouldn't be pleased to be called their parent???
August 6th, 2017 at 11:58 AM ^
I have to say I hope he has other reasons than that. That's a little pathetic.
August 6th, 2017 at 10:12 AM ^
may not be taking two of them - would rather have a diehard Michigan man like Rumler if both ranked high
Harbaugh continues to build and improve the MACHINE!
We are going to kick some serious A in the next 3-5 years, and hopefully beyond!

Isn't this exactly what you want?
And yet you're still negative?
Can't have it both ways, if stars matter to you, celebrate a 5* with the same EUM as you complain over 3*s.

It's winning games on the field, beating OSU, winning championships.
August 6th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
and it's perfectly consistent with your body of comments here overall at MGoBlog: it's a litany of whining, complaining, finger-pointing, cavilling, bitching, and piss-moaning, regardless of what Michigan sport is being discussed.
Sports should be fun, but it appears that for you it's an endless exercise in frustration and resentment that Michigan isn't at the apex in every sport in which it competes. You really would be happier rooting for another program that can meet your standards.

Georgia is the new Indiana, which is the new New Jersey, which is the new Ohio.
