The Blue Board

Lulz this post is so full of fail.

Steve, Taco was not an every down player for his HS last year. How does he merit a 94?

It seems like 24/7 is right were OSU was about a year ago when everyone loved his frame and body but he has yet to display much of anything on the field.

OSU's star average is a tad bit better right now because OSU has a 5* commit- Jalin Marshall.

Shane Morris is right on the cusp of 5*, and if/when he gets his 5th star, pretty sure that Michigan will then have a higher star average than OSU.

I think both classes will be good, but right now Michigan's class is ridiculous and it could actually get even better with some of the guys they are in on.

Guys like Ty Isaac (top group with SC/ND), Laquon Treadwell (who I think Michigan outright leads for- even if he won't admit it), EJ Levenberry (down to FSU/Mich- decision should come within weeks).

There are others as well.

Both classes will be crazy good, but OSU's numbers will only be 18-20, Michigan will be able to sign 24-25.

Looks like Jane, plays like Tarzan.

We currently have a slightly higher star average, the just have a slightly higher player rating average.

don't just ask Steve this, you might as well go ask ESPN and Rivals as well.

ESPN has Taco as a 4* in their top 150 and Taco is a 4* and in the Rivals 250 as well.

Taco is 6-6, 245 lbs. and a great athlete. He'll probably play at 270-280 in college. Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison bringing in the size. I love it.

Sounds like Taco could actually move up even further with a great senior season. Fantastic!

Does he even start?

Isaac, Poggi and either Levenberry or Treadwell is my guess.

Bax listens to me homie.

As y'all learned last year, once that Meyer train starts to hum. It steamsroll. Real talk though I just can't believe a guy like Charlton who can't even start on his team is a top 5 player in the state.

Well Bax shouldn't listen to you then cause you are wrong. Taco himself said he starts.

give this a rest already man.

Hoke had like 4 or 5 spots left in the last month of the recruiting season, his class was already done. He lost a commit- Caleb Stacey, and then he missed out on a few big names towards the end.

Urban surpassed Hoke by caniblizing Penn State's class. He got like 8 kids from that class, a pair of 4* HS teammates and best friends in Cam Williams and Armani Reeves, a 4* OL in Joey O'Connor, a 4* DT that Michigan turned down by the way in Tommy Schutt, and a 5* DE in Noah Spence.

If Penn State doesn't implode like that, does Urban finish as strong as he did? Probably not.

Urban finished strong last year and his class wound up ranked a few spots higher than Hoke's. Cool. We know that. That means absolutely nothing in regards to this year.

Michigan is off to a much better start this year than they were last. I mean a MUCH better start. They are also in much better position with their remaining targets this year simply due to proximity. A lot of their top targets last year towards the end were on the west coast. 3 of their top 5 remaining targets are from the midwest. Proximity generally matters in recruiting.

Michigan has FIFTEEN 4* commits right now. I'd be shocked if Morris didn't get a 5* bump when all is said and done. If/When that happens that'll put us at 1-5*, 14-4*, 2-3*'s.

Depending on how the coaches finish, say they get - Isaac, Treadwell, Poggi, and Levenberry - that would be 21 and a monster class and it really doesn't matter who they got for the next 3-4 spots to close at 24-25.
