Sam Webb Crystal Ball's 2022 5 Star OT Josh Conerly Jr. to Michigan
Conerly is from the state of Washington and just visited for the game vs Washington. Webb entered a CB with a confidence level of 6 last night, following Steve Lorenz doing the same on Wednesday. Not sure what Conerly's timeline is but the main competition was thought to be USC and Washington, so fingers crossed this start progressing quickly on this front.

Lorenz and Webb have ballz which is encouraging. But I'll hold off on any excitement until Wingding weighs in.

I missed the whole wingding thing. What's that about?

Someone typed "Wiltfong" and it auto-corrected to Wingdings. It became a meme. :-)

Wingding is the correct name and everyone had been getting it auto-corrected to Wiltfong all this time.
Now, Balance has been restored to the Force.

It was me. My android phone autocorrected Wiltfong, to WINGDING, and it got stuck in the title of my post, and I didn't catch it, and couldn't correct it.

Some poor soul tried to tell us about Steve Wiltfong's balls, but it was auto-corrected to Wingding. Hilarity ensued...
EDIT: I should really refresh the page after walking away for 20 minutes...

I think he says his timeline is likely signing day, the later of the two. Hopefully one of those silent commits!

Great, but the acid test is where is Wingding’s CB going to?
September 17th, 2021 at 12:03 PM ^
Sounds like an excellent choice! Go Blue!
September 17th, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
You had me at 5 stars! Hopefully the great great game atmosphere will help convince him to leave the West Coast. I’m more optimistic about a recruiting battle against USC and Washington than the SEC teams or Clemson.

Just wanted to say thank you for actually including his recruiting profile, position, and star ranking in the post. 90% of the time people post a name (and if we're lucky a position) but no other info about the recruit, leaving the rest of us who don't obsessively follow the whims of 16 and 17 year olds to google who the hell they're talking about.

Where is Ak47 on this post? Odd.

UW fans are freaking out over this movement. Losing a recruit from Rainier Beach just doesnt happen. MUAHAHAHAAH

I always dreamed that given our recruiting advantage, Michigan would finally become Wisconsin 2.0 - a program whose identity is to pave your face in on the ground with elite OL and RBs, but with the talent at QB and WR to keep you honest.
Kind of like this season so far, albeit against weak opposition, and with plenty of questions yet answered in re QB/WR play.
Landing kids like this on the regular would be a nice step in that direction.

I will take Wisconsin's success and consistency with Michigan's ability to recruit top 10 classes.

A victory in Madison would be great this year

Cool. Rainier Beach in Seattle is a great basketball school with a few players who played in the NBA most notably Jamaal Crawford, Doug Christie and Nate Robinson. Good to see them with some football talent too

Conerly looks like a good DT too
