Hello: A recruit that rhymes with Jenn Prettison

Submitted by DrMantisToboggan on

It will be public soon enough. Biggest get yet. To all you ratings-whores: why so quiet?

We're recruiting character actors who worked primarily in television as well? We're running a lot more camps than I thought. This truly is an amazing bit of unconventional recruiting by the staff. Of course, I believe Hedison is in his 80s now, so there might be concerns about versatility on the field.

Are we officially over signed if we have 14 spots open?  Or are potential 5th year guys under the understanding that the 5th year is not guaranteed?  I realize attrition usually happens.  Just trying to understand our situation.

Every player knows that a fifth year is not guaranteed.

Counting Glasgow, Kerridge, and Norfleet, we have 15 seniors. Therefore, there would be at least 15 spots going into National Signing Day.

We haven't "oversigned" until somebody signs something, which in most cases won't be until February.

Back Counting doesn't matter here because we are not planning on reaching the 25 scholarship a year limit. That limit only applies when we want to sign 26 or more recurits in one given year. The limit we are focused on is the 85 scholarship limit for the whole team. It doesn't matter what class they are in, we can't have more then 85 shcolarship players on the roster at one time.

Who's quiet?  You just started the thread, there wasn't anyway for anyone to have spoken up yet.

Getting a 4* for every 2* isn't going to win the conference, much less a natty.  This class already has too many reaches, and it's not even done yet. 

And just to be clear, if *I* was the head coach at Michigan, I could get some 4* players to committ-- I'd just completely avoid talking to them and let the reputation and assistant coaches do the work.  Every time a 4* commits, it doesn't validate Harbaugh as a recruiter.

Hope that helps.
