Khaleke Hudson Crystal Ball to UM (Steve Wiltfong of 247)
Steve Wiltfong just put his crystal ball to Michigan for Khaleke Hudson (ATH), likely to play safety. For those that dont know, he is a prospect that has generated more hype recently with his play in the Semper-Fidelis All-Star game. Scout in their final rankings bumped him up to a 4* and #273 overall.
Wiltfong is very accurate for U of M picks, at 84%, so this is likely very good news for the good guys.
He reports offers from schools like Michigan, Pitt, PSU, WVU, MSU, Va Tech, UCLA, and Wisconsin.
He has scheduled visits upcoming to Pitt and PSU.

This kid has been #2 on my recruiting with list for months. Real difference maker and a perfect fit for Harbaugh's style of play.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:46 AM ^
January 17th, 2016 at 11:27 AM ^
He's #2 on your with litht? He's only number Theven on Lou Holtz's With Litht. Lou is more of a Devin Athiathi guy.
January 17th, 2016 at 12:14 PM ^
Ace also put in his pick for Hudson as well to Michigan
January 17th, 2016 at 9:56 AM ^
I remember reading somewhere that he was a Penn State lean. Harbaugh & Co. are doing some serious work.

by letting all their coaches get away to other jobs.
January 17th, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
This kid can ball! His tape is impressive and with his speed
it will be hard to keep him on the field.
I am looking forward to his Hello post.
Harbaugh!!!!!
January 17th, 2016 at 10:15 AM ^
How hard is he to keep "on" the field...? That could be a problem.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
Gump style runner? Worked well for Bear Bryant, if I recall my history correctly.
January 17th, 2016 at 11:00 AM ^
May be hard to keep him on the field with all the 3 and outs and turnovers he will help create.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:22 AM ^
DB is a real need, especially safety. Despite, Pepper's statement that he plans to play 4, he will have a #1 draft pick waiting for him after next season. Very tempting.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
Peppers will be a first round pick, but not #1 overall, if that's what you meant. Even Charles Woodson only went fourth, after Peyton Manning, Ryan Leaf and FSU DE Andre Wadsworth.
Still, I think Peppers is gone after this season. I think he will be projected high enough that Harbaugh will be the first to tell him he can't afford to leave that much money on the table.

Would be an excellent addition. He looked great in his all star game. Big hitter with speed.
Could be a heckuva playmaker in Coach Brown's defensive scheme.

Would be a HUGE get.
He's supposed to be recruited to Peppers' position (OLB/SS).

I'm looking for you...someone's going to do it. They're going to say it...
January 17th, 2016 at 10:12 AM ^
He will probably need a redshirt year to adjust to the competition level (or exclusively play special teams in 2016), but I would like the pickup despite his lower rating on ESPN, Rivals, and 24/7.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:22 AM ^
He performed extremely well in the late season all-american stuff versus better competition.
His recruitment reminds me of Greg Mathews. A kid who flew under the radar and blew up his senior year.
His junior year stuff is nothing special, but kids grow and progress at different rates and he seems to fit the definition of a late bloomer. IMO you need those kids, because with 5* prospects you may end up with the opposite (Kalis, and maaaybe Green) in a kid who hit puberity and grew faster than all the kids early...dominated until all of the other kids caught up to him.
I like the fact that he's just scratching the surface and getting better.
Let him come in, redshirt...watch Jabrill and he can better Tyree Kinnel for that spot if Peppers leaves after next year. Otherwise, they can fight it out after Peppers leaves in 2 years.
January 17th, 2016 at 12:13 PM ^
Kalis dominated until he ran into Funk.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:31 AM ^
I'll take another shot at a best guess list...
24. TE-Chase Allen
25. CB-David Long
26. CB-Lavert Hill
27. NICK-Khaleke Hudson
28. DT/DE-Rashan Gary
29. DE-Connor Murphy, Levi Onwuzurike, Josh King, or Josh Uche
30. LB-Jonathan Jones
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rashad Weaver or greyshirt for Weaver
+ Jake Raulerson
- Nate Johnson
+ Pie Young or Donald Stewart
+ (greyshirt) Quinn Nordin
--------------------------------------------------------------------
That puts us at 30 commits counting Raulerson as one, plus 1 or 2 greyshirts.
247Sports puts that at 287.24.
January 17th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
Yes please!
January 17th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
I think Michael Dwumfor (sp?) may be taken at DE/DT... what do you think
January 17th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
But I could be wrong, I don't know much about his recruitment.
I personally think we close with the names above and we get Murphy OR King at the DE spot (Levi O to Washington and Uche to Florida).
I think we lose Johnson and get Pie Young...Donald Stewart to Stanford.
If all of this happened. I'd cry I'd be so happy, and that's sad (but true).

I wanted to go back and edit, but with that finish of a 287.24, here's how we would rank since 2010.
2015 (3rd)
2014 (4th)
2013 (5th) - behind Michigan w/ Green, Kugler, Thomas, Morris, Bosch...yikes
2012 (3rd/4th)
2011 (3rd)
2010 (4th)
I look for us to finish 3rd, maybe 4th if we close with this class. Note that Raulerson would not factor into the rankings.
January 17th, 2016 at 12:15 PM ^
As a grad transfer, Raulerson doesn't count against the class limit. He does count, of course, against the 85 cap.
January 17th, 2016 at 3:03 PM ^
I understand this...I was just including him in the class because it's reported that we'll take him OR the UVA offensive lineman commit.
