The official Michigan 2016 recruiting class thread

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

247sports.com is probably the best. That seems to be the one referenced the most on here.

I'd tend to agree, although I'm not sure how their algorithm works to average out the players. We have a couple guys who have either 2/4 or 3/4 recruiting sites listing them as a 4 star player and the 247 composite lists them as a 3 star.

Michigan is dropping in the rankings! They need a few big names to commit!

Dropped 3 spots to #8: Constant updates, all National Signing Day long!

I'm not to worried. Unless something changes we're going to land:
Devin Asiasi, De La Salle , Tight End
&
Rashan Gary, Paramus Catholic , Defensive Tackle

today. That's two more top 100 players + the #1 recruit in the class.

Still very cool:

So this is a bit odd:

Overrated! Michigan didn't even offer him a scholarship, but if they had, they would have likely pulled it anyway!

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

They reported a surprise silent commitment. I'm curious who it is. I wonder if it was Lavert Hill. As he originally committed to PSU and then everyone thought MSU because of teammates going there and ended up at Michigan.

Again, if we get Gary I don't except to fall out of the top 10. If we get Gary and a couple of the four stars we lead for today, while maintaining the current class, we should end up top 5. A lot of it hinges on Gary.

Then you'll be oversigning.

It's nice to see Michigan State dropping like a brick in the rankings. From #11 to #16 before 10 am. Hopefully we see them drop out of the top 25 by the end of the day, but that is likely just a dream.

Alabama got 5* Ben Davis to flip from Michigan! uhhh!

Alabama got 5* Ben Davis to flip from Michigan! uhhh!

Huh? How was that a flip?

Did Michigan think they had a remote chance with him?

I don't think he was ever committed to michigan...

EVERYONE wants to come to Michigan! Harbaugh may have told him we didn't have room though.

Down to #17....woo hoo!! Now if we can just get OSU to drop about 20 places.

So this is a bit odd:

That is a bit odd since that helmet was worn and rejected by MSU and tOSU

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Then you'll be oversigning.

No we won't, because we have spots open for all of them. As we've gone over, it's only over signing if you sign more than you're allowed to officially take by march or may (whatever it is) or you sign more than you have open spots for.

 

[4down20]

Rashan Gary will only take Michigan up to 277 pts.

Which would take them to #5 tops - if nobody else gets anymore recruits.

That will also put them at 27 commits. AKA bring on the oversigning.

Again, then Alabama nor any other school has ever oversigned by this definition.
