2021 state of Michigan football prospects
While I know we’re currently focused on the 2020 recruiting class, with J.J. McCarthy and Giovanni El-Hadi in the fold already we’re off to a dominant start to the 2021 class. With that being said the 2021 state of Michigan prospects might be the best group of prospects from the state we’ve had in years. Especially the top two guys in Garrett Dellinger and Rocco Spindler who both play for Clarkston and are composite 5-stars. Problem is they both seem to be Notre Dame leans and the 3rd best prospect in the state not only looks to be an OSU lean, but plays at Belleville where Michigan has had trouble recruiting the last few years. Basically just wondering if anyone knows anything on those 3 players recruitments and our chances with them. I know it’s early, but if we could land these prospects we could be looking at the greatest class in program history...
Be successful Nov-Jan this year and the crootz will come.
Michigan is in a battle with ND for Garret Dellinger. Michigan is leading for Rocco Spindler. I think that ND crystal ball is old and spindler has been high on Michigan recently. Don’t know much about Payne. Michigan will probably push for him but he may want to leave the state similar to a lot of other Belleville players. Michigan leads for Donovan Edwards.
If your going to get 1 of the 2, Spindler is the one. IMO he is definitely the better prospect. I do not agree with the services in regards to Dellinger's ranking.
I don't know about their abilities, but I agree that Spindler is more important. More so because Michigan has a need for DTs, while they are in a good position for many top level OTs in 2020/2021 classes.
Have heard that Spindlers future may be at guard
“Don’t know much about Payne. Michigan will probably push for him but he may want to leave the state similar to a lot of other Belleville players”
Didn’t know East Lansing was out of state.
This is a digression.. but just read 247's 5 stars for 2020... we aren't in on a single player, so it seems... we still haven't recovered from Martin/Lloyd/RR of 2007.
I swear every year people post this same complaint and then every year Michigan winds up with a number of highly-ranked kids they weren't considered in the running for. It's like clockwork.
But just check Omnibus93’s track record. It’s always the opposite of positive.
not true at all, canhack.
What happened in 2007 is unlikely to have a huge influence on guys who were 6 years old at the time. They are much more concerned about what Harbaugh, Brown and Gattis have accomplished recently and what they can expect them to do in the near future.
If Gattis is as good as people here want to believe he is, enjoy him for 2 years because he’ll be fast tracked for a HC job.
If Gattis is solid but not elite the ceiling is PSU 2016....as Jimmy Franklin says “very good, not elite”
If Ed Warriner has any role beyond OL coach, we’re doomed.
Recruits will care but the next OC hire will matter if Gattis is elite.
... we still haven't recovered from Martin/Lloyd/RR of 2007
People like you are going to bitch about that until the end of time. Get over it. Getting killed by OSU last year matters a lot more to 2020 recruits than something that only football dorks and old farts still care about.
Fairly certain McGregor will end up a 5 star if Rivals gets their head out of their asses and ranks him better than the 11th best player in the state
Everyone keeps talking about the two Clarkston guys being ND leans. Dellinger has one crystal ball, from the ND guy, almost a year ago. Spindler has 4 crystal balls, one from the same ND guy and then another from another guy who is in the bottom third of all 247 guys. His other two crystal balls are for UM, one from a Michigan insider and the other from Trieu, who seems to be pretty consistent in his picks.
My point isn't that ND isn't in the running, but the talk of them having early favorites seems based on specious data.
I'd like to add here, how good Spindler's father Marc, was, pre-injury... he was to be a NFL HOF player, and dominated college, thats how good he was..the best player in college on D at the time...but blew out his knee, and bad... Lions drafted him early, despite pundits saying Spindler was done... did rather well on a gimp knee... He was GREAT at Pitt.... if his son is anything like him, and probably is, we need to land him.
“he was to be a NFL HOF player”
So it was guaranteed, right?
JFC
Tim Drevno, more like Jim Harvno.
Allen Trieu as recently as a couple weeks ago thinks Rocco is leaning Michigan and Dellinger leaning ND, although they said they want to be a package deal. Payne has seemed like OSU ever since Mattison left which is unfortunate.
Fuck you Mattison
Relax. Take a vacation. I heard the Dominican Republic is a nice place to visit and rest up.
^^^^ Ouch!
OP: Useless, long-winded concern trolling that adds nothing new to the recruiting discussion.
No, thanks.
I was looking for an update on these dudes recruitments (which I got), but don’t worry you’re unsolicited opinion really added a lot to the conversation...
You're =/= Your
Leeders and Beasts. Spelling matters.
If you’re going to be petty, at least get it right. There is no spelling error in my statement. The word usage was wrong, so that entails a grammar error. Semantics matter asshat. Did I use that word right?
If the team wins 11 games and beats OSU everything will take care of itself.
This Blog is a joke sometimes. Unless you are one of the "famous" MgBloggers you get downvoted and attacked for posting wondering why Michigan is losing an instate recruiting battle
Id rather posts like these than posts about Cavs hiring a female assistant or the plethora of other OT threads
Cass Tech... has at least four kids with offers. Three with Michigan offers Raheem Anderson(Oline), Kobe and Kalen King linebacker and corner.
Terrence Enos(Online) camp at Michigan but haven’t received a Michigan offer. He has offer from LSU, Kentucky, Maryland and few others.
If by "both seem to be Notre Dame leans," you mean that they have 3 CBs to ND collectively between the 2, then you would be correct lol
