That is just a crazy number, what will be really interesting to follow is how many of those 11 stay completely committed for almost another year. Sometimes having that many commits early can hurt you - I'm trying to find some negative in this

Michigan has 5 kids from instate, 3 from Ohio, 2 from Illinois and 1 from Colorado.
Of their 11 commits more than half are from out of state. If that works to our advantage then good for us and if we get Michigan leftovers like Ron Thompson and Wayne Morgan I’ll be more than happy.

This is a good sign that the staff is getting in on kids early. As long as they keep in touch with them, you never know what could happen.

Hoke is a good coach and is in line to do big things at Michigan.
From the recruiting stand point, our coaches are doing well to identify talent early but Michigan is obviously pushing a far superior product at this point. I expect to lose those recruiting battles more times than not and am happy that we actually have won a couple of them to date specifically Trudo, and Thompson.

Yes, but Michigan was big time on him. He wouldn't make a commitment to them, so they filled the spot with another corner effectively ending their recruitment of him. Would you rather go up against Michigan or UConn and Rutgers? Big win in that situation for SU.

Morgan is from NYC. I thing he meant that Michigan was recruiting him. I believe Morgan wanted to stay close to home, and that's why Michigan stopped recruiting him.

I understand that, but I believe he wasn't going to Michigan anyway. I like to believe we would have won the battle regardless and think the fact that he wouldn't commit to them early further supports we would have won the battle had it lasted longer anyway.

The early part of 2011 SU wasn't really that big of a factor as everything pointed to him committing to Michigan, but they locked up their fourth DB by early July filling the need for S/CB. Right after that SU came into the picture as Morgan starting to really look at the Orange, UConn, and Rutgers. I love that we got him, but if Michigan had wanted them all the way through I would bet any amount of money they would have gotten him.

Actually, in a ny newspaper article long after the dust had settled... It was disclosed by his HS coach that mich wanted him to commit on the spot, which he did to feel comfortable doing, he wanted to go thru the process, so they moved on.

They just got another one Jaron Dukes from Ohio WR 6'5 200
Didn't they have a big bball game this past weekend so maybe they had a Jr Day that tied into an exciting game? I think that was a discussion on this board a couple weeks ago.

I would classify these targets as long shots at best, I wouldn't get my panties in a knot, ( not saying you are Whitey) but Syracuse will basically lose these battles 99% of the time, 4 star kids with Michigan offers from Michigan most likely will not end well for Cuse but somehow this will fall back on the junior day or marrone being grumpy

Yep. If a Michigan kid is committing to Michigan prior to May, it's pretty much a given that's where he was always going. Its still important to put the offers out there though and make the contact.

I'd be happy with one solid verbal at this time s long as its on offense.That is just a crazy number, what will be really interesting to follow is how many of those 11 stay completely committed for almost another year.
