Crystal ball for 2020 top100 QB
247sports.com Director Steve Wiltfong put in a crystal ball in favor of the good guys for 2020 QB Harrison Bailey. For those who follow recruiting, he is considered "The Guy" for predictions, so this seems notable. Bailey is ranked the #68 player in 2020 and is the #2 ranked Pro-style QB. He plays for Marrietta High School in Georgia, who is home to multiple 4 and 5 stars recruits. If this prediction sticks, he would be one hell of a pickup for that 2020 class, and could headline the offensive side of the ball for what could be a possible top 5-10 class.
First reported by Steve Lorenz of 247. I do not have VIP, so I just looked to find this info out myself.

Edit: I just came across an interview from the Michigan insider. It seems as if he is familiar with the Pattersons. Shea gave him some advice and is a slight fan of his. He is also friends with Sheas younger brother Nick, who is a 2020 recruit at TE.

It's still a long way away. Good sign, but still long way away. You know that Georgia and basically every southern school will put on a full court press to get him there. A good season this year will go a long way to get him though.
Not to mention ratings change so much during the season. Remember Dylan was the #1 QB at one time and he might turn out to be a super star but star ratings are overrated especially in football
This kid has been on the hype radar for a long time. If you watch his highlights, he has the best motions and mechanics outta the 2020 class. He was considered to be a possible 5-star candidate early on and I think he may be a kid to rise up instead of fall.
Signed,
Alabama, OSU, Clemson, etc.
This isn't in doubt, no one that reads this site shouldn't understand that every statistical look at ratings validates them in general terms. Obvuoiusly they can and are off on an individual, but overall the debate closed long ago.
McCaffrey was the #1 QB in his class until football season started and he stopped going to the camps. He lad his team to a state championship, instead. He went to the Opening, and lit up the competition in the 7v7 tourney. He looked average in the specific skill categories during Elite 11 part of it because he didn't practice any of that stuff - because he didn't go to all o fthe camps.
I'm not worried one bit about McCaffrey's place in the rankings - as far as I'm concerned, he's still the #1 QB in his class.
I could care less about football recruiting right now. It hasn’t meant anything since 2007. I will be happy when these kids commit and proud when they graduate or have success in the nfl but until they win on the field at Michigan star ratings don’t mean shit
Yet you opened up this thread. So it appears that maybe you COULD still care a bit less
That’s what he said. He said he could care less, not could not care less.
I... I... wait.... could you say that again?
He cares! He CARES!
I care about that girl in your picture.
for all intensive purposes though, right?
he sounds like a pre madonna
Moran.
Go USA!
Go Sweden!
This kid is going Blue. Every other school on his offer list sucks. Except Alabama. Not a quarterback school. If Shey plays this year, Harrison will be blue balls by December.
Anyone else think of Crissy Moran anytime someone says “moran”?
Nope, just me... ok.
The point is mute.
I can't here anything.
nor they’re.
you make a moo point.
Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's MOO

But it's quickly become too mind bottling for me.
The statue of limitations has passed anyways
So there's a layer below commenting on it? I guess it's good to know where you stand, for reference purposes if nothing else.
I think it's time to nip this discussion in the butt.
...he'd have to be butt naked.
Idk if I’d go so far as to say Wiltfong is THE guy - he picks early and changes his picks a lot, he picks with the wind so to speak. That being said, it is no secret that Michigan has been on Bailey hard for a long time.
That's a piece of good news in itself.
I want that wind to have a heading of Michigan on signing day.
-1 for being captain obvious
Do you have any insider info to make us feel assured that wind is Blue?
And further proof that last year‘s recruiting class ranking was an anomaly. Wiltfong is a very reliable recruiting guru - even though this is merely a crystal ball for 2020. After recent recruiting news with quarterbacks and watching the Amazon documentary series with great coaching and culture, I am looking at M football very optimistically.
Would have a lot more confidence if he didn't live in Georgia. You know that full court press is coming especially now that a northern school is in on his recruitment.
He has an impressive offer sheet. I don't think those on the offer sheet will drop pursuing him. Long way to go.
Here's hoping Chris Partridge seals the deal!
I liked it too when I saw Chris Partridge was the recruiter.
Indeed, his offer sheet is impressive. I noticed this as well. Will Michigan's prestige be enough to sway him from those other fine schools to Ann Arbor's confines? Only time will tell.
Does recruit Georgia you know. As in Partridge is the recruiter for any Georgia player
2020?!
Great Scott!!!
Great Caesar's Ghost!!!
Sweet Christmas!
Cool Beans!
By the beard of Moses!
Maybe he watched the documentary and thought, "These are the kind of QBs I have to compete against? Where do I sign?"
On a serious note, that'd be a big pick up given Georgia's recruiting and play lately.
Cool
May want to tweak title...top 100 player, #2 qb.
If that comes to fruition he could be the cornerstone to an awesome class.
