Michigan Picks Up 15th Commit

  • Gareon Conley. 3*, I have read many expect a 4th star soon.

    From MGoBlog
    "I think he may be the best pure corner in Ohio. His ball skills are second to none. His range and athletic ability are second to none. He can match up with the number one receiver. The trait that Cam (Burrows) has over him is he may be more physical. But Gareon is ‘twitchier’ in the hips.”:

    Nice pickup. The quote from your blog is pretty spot on. If he was a step or half step quicker he would be top 5 in Ohio IMO.

    BTW that quote is from Mark Porter of ScoutingOhio, so it's not just some UM homer.

    Really like this pickup.

    15 already! sheesh, hoke doesnt waste anytime does he?

    whats ur opinion on filling up ur class early?

    ive heard pros and cons for both filling early and waiting till signing day...

    for me, i guess it doesnt matter as long as u get who u want....nice pick up

    I see no reason in waiting. All the kids Michigan has picked up are pretty solid. 13 of the 15 are a 4 stars on at least 1 site.

    Plus this way it gives the staff time to work on a couple elite kids down the stretch.

    Isaac, and Treadwell come to mind.

    And also will give Michigan a head start on the 2014 class just like the quick start did in 2013.

    Pros: Picking the guys we want now. Getting early on guys we think are going to explode later.

    Neg: May miss out on other guys late. Some guys could decommit because of many reasons. Other kids may not have a good senior season.

    I agree, ultimately it doesn't matter...you still are trusting in the coaches to make the right bets.

    I am fine with it. They are getting guys that they want. I am sure our rivals would be happy if the recruits they offered had committed to them instead of to Michigan.

  • would love to have the kid , congrats

  • How big a class is Hoke planning on taking? At this rate he'll finish earlier than Mack Brown.

    20-24, probably the higher end.

    I believe there are 19 open spots right now. Some guys on the team who have no chance in getting a 5th year though. 23-24 likely.

    We have 16 seniors leaving after this year, plus two obvious candidates for not getting 5th years, plus attrition should equal around 20-24.

    Also I believe we are at 83 scholarship players right now.

    Makes sense due to the fact the only offer he had from Ohio was an Toledo offer.

  • Six commits already from Ohio. Don't worry, we're almost done with your state. You can have the scraps.

    As soon as Urbz was hired we weren't going to get anyone good from Ohio right?

    Don't worry when Michigan lands Isaac you guys can have Smith. Michigan's scraps from Ohio must be nice.

  • This is your best get from Ohio so far. Last year was his first year playing high school football, so we haven't even seen the best of him yet. I was really hoping he would hold off and get a chance to come down to OSU to show off his wares for the staff in person. Nice pick up.

    Conley is a beast, but Dymonte Thomas is clearly better.
