College Football Recruiting (2013 Class) Discussion
Longhorns get things started with a commitment from Celina OL/DL prospect Jake Raulerson, who's considered one of the top line prospects in the country.

There should be quite a few more commitments after next weekend's Junior Day in Austin.

Michigan has two early pledges; Nearly consensus 5* QB Shane Morris and consensus 4* S Dymonte Thomas. They have a big lead for Illinois OT Logan Tillman who is likely going to be a 5* with the way he is blowing up on the National scene. It's going to likely be a tremendous year for Michigan in 2013.

As of a few weeks ago, Rutgers was supposedly expecting a few 2013 verbals after this NSD but with Schiano leaving, that's been thrown off a bit. The bigger issue with this class, as I posted in the 2012 thread, is that Schiano is taking virtually our entire staff with him to TB, including the best recruiter in the area in Jeff Hafley. It's not official yet so hopefully he and a couple others can be convinced to stay, but we've done so well in Jersey recently that losing that momentum can really hurt.
NJ is looking real good again. Greg Webb will contend for the top spot and got offered by Alabama on Wednesday, and will eventually get from everyone. Muhammad out of Bosco is their next big DE recruit after Darius Hamilton, a bit more athletic but not nearly as strong. Eli Woodard also has offers from all the powerhouses but unfortunately for us, he's been a lock to Ohio State since even before Meyer got hired. |

Both are out recruiting for Michigan and they have said their goal is the number one class in the country. I think that's asking a lot with the typical big name schools out there, but it's nice to see that kind of dedication. I know my Dad said 'Bama had seven already, but I'm not sure if they are commits or just commits plus players they are targeting.

Hanging onto him is going to be absolutely key. I can't remember the last time we got a legit top 3 talent at that position and we are desperate on DL. He sounds solid but 14 months is a long time and our record with commits in their junior year isn't very good. |

UCLA has commits from QB Eddie Printz (Georgia) and CB Dashon Hunt (California). I have no idea how they will rate in the long run; neither are ranked on scout.com yet.

Su'a Cravens has been recruited by USC forever and will likely be the top prospect in the West. I'm hopeful UCLA can get on him, but it would be a small miracle if he goes anywhere but USC

Michigan adds a 2013 TE in Detroit TE Khalid Hill. He will be a top 10 kid in the state next year. TE's are such a boom/bust position that I like taking a kid earlier and then focusing elsewhere with the rest of the class. Especially when we need TE's still.

I read an article on Rivals that OSU might be the one to challenge 'Bama for #1 overall class from an early guess point. 'Bama already has 7 from the top 250 and looking at maybe getting the top 2 overall. Michigan I think will be up there as well. It's suppose to be a good year for the Midwest including Iowa and Wisconsin so the Big Ten might do well in recruiting this year.

Reminds me when Michigan played ND at night and pulled in recruits from it. Players see the environment there and when Michigan wins it becomes difficult to say "No" to. I know they sent out an offer to a DL in Cal. but I think the player is taking their time in deciding. Getting Fox is also the 6th 4* player outside of Big Ten country that Hoke and gang have brought in.

In one weekend Michigan got verbals from what should be more than 25% of it's class. Rivals only has one listed as not rated. If a player is rated, they are a four star. Michigan had twelve 4*/5* players last year. They are already at nine 4* players this year. Craziness.

Sounds like one of OU's coaches tweeted to a number of recruits giving them his number, saying they had offers, and to call him back, which is a violation. It's suppose to be talked about on ESPN's SoonerNation.

#12 for Michigan - 3* WR Jaron Dukes out of Ohio. Not the flashiest kid but he is a legit 6'3 and growing and has good hands. He faced 5* OSU commit Cam Burrows last year and had 170 yards which is always nice to see.
Still, UM needs at least one legit playmaker at WR in this class, though we lead with top 50 WR Laquon Treadwell out of Illinois. He would be the one we desperately need. |

UCLA had two verbals, 4/5* CB Dashon Hunt, locally here in LA and Eddie Printz, from Georgia who is a 3/4* QB.
Apparently they've picked up a verbal from Keyante Green, a RB/LB from Georgia whose offer list includes Florida State, UGa, GT, tOSU, Tenn, USC (SEC), and VT. Any Georgia residents able to shed some light on either of the Georgia kids? |

One of the better LBs in the 2013 class, E.J Levenberry named Michigan his leader today in an article on ESPN. Though other schools will be involved it is likely a UM/FSU battle.

This is absurd now. 4* OL Patrick Kugler (Son of the Steelers OL coach) out of PA committed to Michigan today. He visited yesterday when Hoke wasn't even in town and fell in love with Ann Arbor. What's even worse is he was in Michigan to go to MSU's Junior Day today but decided to stop in AA first and never made it to East Lansing. He is going to play center at Michigan.

As of 6:22pm, MSU still sits at 2 verbals, which is what they had before their Junior day. You have to figure to try and make some positive noise on this day. Ow.
