W. Johnson Predicts Big July

Submitted by R. J. MacReady on June 24th, 2021 at 10:35 PM

“One visit isn’t going to ease the concerns the way a positive season will, but Johnson could see the growing momentum Michigan has on the trail and he even told Sam Webb of The Michigan Insider that he’s expecting big things next month, telling Webb: “I think July will be a big month for Michigan.”

Is this the year we get a preseason heisman contender and a qb who will take us to the promised land?

A) Our current makeup of commits is about 50% 4* or higher, which is right about on average for our recruiting under Harbaugh.

B) Blue chip recruits often wait until closer to NSD to make up their mind.

C) Covid screwed up the star ranking system because of less time in front of evaluators. It is less reliable now than ever before.

I always wondered what it felt like to be MSU especially in the Perles and Saban years where they were good but not great.  I remember feeling sorry for them a little. (I thought Percy Snow was a badass and I knew a few guys who played for MSU over the years.)   Michigan BPONE right now must be like what they experienced.  I'm sick of rooting to get recruits like Charbonet, Derrick Green, Sam McGuffie, etc. only to have them flame out, not meet expectations or underwhelm.

That said I'm ready to buckle up and attach my emotions to the decisions of a bunch of 17-18 year-old kids.  Damn it.

I'd rather October and November be big months for Michigan. You know....the way they haven't been for nearly twenty years. But at this point I suppose Michigan needs to be grateful for whatever it can get.

To be a bit more specific, I think it will be a big month in terms of commitments, but there will be movement in both directions. We will probably land several targets and we will probably also see several trend elsewhere. I see it going as follows:

⬆️Deone Walker

⬆️Mario Eugenio

⬆️Alessandro Lorenzetti

⬆️Dillon Bell

⬆️D'Arco Perkins-McAllister

⬇️Jordan Phillips

⬇️Lucas Heyer

⬇️Micah Pollard

⬇️George Fitzpatrick

And it will be in or out time for Dillon Tatum. I'm hoping he joins the fold but it's not a certainty.

Damn - some of you are so negative, I almost ALMOST feel sorry for you. The same trolls who post on this site post the same bullshit on social media. Recruits read this stuff....so when a 3 star signs and people come out bitching about him being a 3 star, how do you think that makes our fanbase look?

For what its worth, this class is shaping up well. If they stay on course with some of these other kids, you should see a top 10 (potentially top 5) recruiting class.

Exactly...

A 5* commit who is actively trying to bring on board the best talent w him makes a positive public statement and people here actively choose to shit on it...wtf.

I mean log on, see the link, read the OP and decide...yeah I need to bitch and complain to feel better. What miserable lives...

I never ever bag on the kids. 25 -  3 stars COULD end up being enough to get us 10-2 levels and that is a helluva start. Only thing that drags me to the Bpone levels is our damn offensive coaching. It hasnt changed and its a mess. For those that want to be eternal optimists its always "our Qb had a lingering injury" or "wait until our net QB shows us what he has". I dont trust the offensive coaching at all. We have wasted so much talent its a damn crime. The talent is enough to win every  game short of OSU and maybe a tough bowl team. Ill give passes on Penn St and Wisc at a 50/50 clip. Beyond that its the coaching not the kids.
