The Blue Board

What's the breakdown of what's left?

QB: Best QB in the class IMO,

RB:Deveon Smith is a tough nosed runner, not blazing speed but never goes down on first contact. He will be a beast behind Michigan's OL.

WR: As soon as Treadwell commits Michigan will have a great WR class. Treadwell is elite, C'sonte York is a sleeper, and Jaron Dukes is a 6'5" WR.

TE: Michigan has Jake Butt, a nice balanced TE, should complement the WR's nicely.

OL: Don't even get me started on this, Michigan has the best OL class in the country. 4* Kyle Bosch, 4* Chris Fox, 4* Logan Tuley-Tillman, 4* David Dawson, and 4* Patrick Kugler

DL: A smaller class on the DL for Michigan as they got a bunch last year. But this year they got high upside 4* Taco Charlton, 4* Henry Poggi (DT), and 4* DT Maurice Hurst

LB: Another smaller group for Michigan as they got 4 solid LB's last year. This year they got 4*'s Ben Gedeon and Mike McCray. And all I have to say about it is, dat shit cray.

DB: Another solid group for Michigan, they snagged 4 guys here this year. High 4* Safety Dymonte Thomas (how bout' dem apples Buckeyes?), 2 4* CB's in Jourdan Lewis and Gereon Conley, along with a sleeper at CB in Channing Stribling.

LS: Michigan snagged an elite LS this year. Probably top 2 LS class this year.

Overall Michigan has a great class and is stacked at every position.

Well for Miami most of our top targets haven't decided yet but I'll give it a go
QB- Kevin Olsen is a obviously our most important recruit and a huge get
RB- Alex Collins is very good but I doubt he sticks we will see what happens there
WR- Jordan Cunningham is a guy we lead for he is really solid
TE- Standish Dobard and Travis Johnson are both good pickups
OL- Only one commit so far hoping for Denver Kirkland to close it out
DE- Hoping for Sherit or Williams either would be fine
DT- Bryant Bain, and Bostwik are our main focus at this position
LB- We have a great chance at Both Matthew Thomas and Jermaine Grace
DB- Jamal Carter and Artie Burns are both our main priorities with Safety being a need position
ATH- We will see what happens if Levonte Whitfield decides to come back on board

Nasty right now... going to be straight disgusting by the time montravious, tray Matthews, shaq Wiggins... and the rest of UGA's class comes to Auburn.

overall, i am pleased, but we've (bama) taken a few hits recently (losing out on nkimdiche, decommit of foster).

still tops overall, though, with some serious talent on board already and in top goup for some other top talent.

qb - very pleased. think he fits our style very well. won't come in a start right away, but we don't need him to either.

rb - extremely pleased. 2 of the best rb in nation already committed and strong. also in tops for 5* henry (though i don't think he stays at rb)

wr - ok/pleased. we got 1 set at wr that's good, and a couple ath that could be cb or wr that are both 4*. took a large and talented wr group last year, so not that important this year. also in top group for 5* foster.

te - extremely pleased. best te in nation on board, with a shot at another very good one.

oline - oline is so hard to project, i don't really get excited or sweat anything, unless it's a can't miss top 5 guy. glad we got a shot at tunsil, which is one of those guys.

dline - pleased - got 1 good 4* and a 5* jack (which i consider more dl than lb), and are in strong for some other guys. missed out on a few big time guys, though (rn most notable).

lb - down - suck we lost out of foster, but we got a chance at some other good guys.

db - pleased - got a couple good 4* db's in already, as well as those 2 4* ath that project at either db/wr.

k/p/sp teams - gave a long snapper a scholly, so no not really.

overall, pretty good. feels like teh suck right now cause of the foster stuff, but looking back on it i'm happy so far.

addressed biggest need qb with a top talent.

we were bound to have a down year sooner or later, and if this is it, i'll take it.

I know Miami has the best shot at Thomas and I'll get criticized for saying this by FSU and Miami fans but I think we are a real player until the end.

He has consistently named us either his leader or in his top 2 but we need to get him and his mom on campus to make an even bigger impact

Ill say it again

Thomas does not fit in a 3-4 defense unless you ruin him by trying him at safety ( heard some rumblings of this )

Its a FSU/Miami race with nobody else in sight

Kid says Bama is up there cause you are the best program in america, he has no real intention of going there over 2 florida powers that offer better fits both on and off the field

He could start right away at Miami more than likely

Be a good fit at Sam.

And like I said, I know I'm going to get criticized but if we get him on campus then all bets are off

Nova I feel a rant of yours coming on. Reread my first post where I said Miami has the best shot.

RB - Thomas Tyner, Dontre Wilson

Two RBs the should fit our system well, Tyner just needs to say healthy. Hoping we can pull Derrick Green, but if not 4* Laray Smith out of Brooklyn, NY is probably the guy for the 3rd spot.

WR - Darren Carrington

Oregon fans are very happy about Carrington, both because he has always wanted to be a Duck, and because he's been one of the fastest risers in the country at the WR position. Is already a solid blocker, which is a requirement in our offense, and has great hands, despite what The Opening showed where he struggled a bit in that area.

OL - Alex Redmond, Evan Voeller

Two solid OL commits, one in-state. I know Barton really likes Redmond and once the pads went on at The Opening he became more recognizable amping up the physicality, plays with a bit of a mean streak. Voeller is the top OL in Oregon has nice size at 6'4 290. 247 has him as a high 3* while most others have him as a 4*.

TE - John Mundt

Very hard-worker at the TE position, with good fundamentals. Not sure how developed he is as a receiver yet, could be a bit raw there, but its hard to argue with the way the Coach Osbourne (TE/ST) recruits and coaches. A lot of young talent at that position right now, hopefully they can contribute early.

K - Matt Wogan

Wogan is one of the top kickers in the country with a very strong leg. Kickoffs regularly go 70-75 yards.

DB - Chris Seisay

Staff likes his size at 6'2, listed as an ATH but should play CB. Their is a noticeable shift in our DB recruiting towards bigger players.

Generally pretty happy at this point, still a long ways to go on Oregon's class with only 8 commitments. Not a big concern its just how Oregon recruiting goes. Losing out on Vanderdoes definitely stings a bit. With Jennings and Stanton choosing elsewhere it is likely we don't take a QB this year, but with Mariota, Bennett, Rodrigues, and Lockie already on the roster its not a big concern. I know 2014 QB Manny Wilkins has already expressed a lot of interest. Was the top underclassman at the Oakland Elite 11 this year and should be one of the best QBs in the west next year.

Sounds like he wouldn't play at all

Both of those kids are ready size wise and meanwhile Thomas wouod be working on gaining at least 35 pounds to fit

Which might not work, some kids just don't get huge and i think Thomas is one of these cases

I see him at 220 max and that just don't work in a 3/4 imo

He could play at either FSU or Miami right away at only 210 or so, no way that happens at Bama.... No way

The SEC backs would fugg his asshole shut after week 6 or so

We know why you think that but everyone in Florida knows it's between FSU and Miami. Bama is not really involved. You can believe me or not.
