  1. I'm surprised we haven't offered Settle yet. He fits the profile for an early national offer and it might help a little with Hand.

    1. Impressive offer sheet and fit for a Nose tackle slot. wonder if he is a 'lean' elsewhere and that is the reason for no offer.

      Delete
    2. I think if Michigan wanted him for sure, they would have offered, regardless of whether he's leaning somewhere or not. My guess is that they have questions about his interest level and/or his character and they're waiting to get him on campus, meet him in person, etc.

    3. The offer is being extended in person to place a higher level of importance on it. More memorable on a big day

  2. Wow, what a list! Can you recall a bigger recruiting weekend for Michigan?

    1. No, I can't think of a bigger recruiting weekend. The Under the Lights game two years ago was pretty big, too, but Michigan wasn't quite recruiting at this level back then.

      Delete
  3. This game and associated recruiting weekend could be epic! Looks like a NCAA record breaking crowd is expected as well.
    On an impressionalble young mind, could be the difference! A beat down of ND would be topping on the cake!

    1. Peppers has a game on Sunday, so I think it would be tough to visit on Saturday night.

      Delete
    2. Wow thanks Thunder. Pepper's school is odd. 1) High school games on sundays (isn't it a religious school where sundays are off?). 2) No possibility of graduating early to enroll at Michigan sooner.

    3. It seems lots of east coast private schools play on Sundays. Baltimore (MD) Gilman - home of Henry Poggi - also played some games on Sundays, if I remember correctly. And, obviously, opponents have to agree to that. Public schools aren't allowed to have competitions on Sundays, at least not in any areas I've worked/seen/heard about.

  9. What's your thoughts on the 2016 qb from trootwood?

    1. I haven't seen him play, so I don't know.

    2. I live in Ohio (Springfield), work in Dayton, and saw him last year as well as last week. Decent size, average to slightly above average arm, makes good reads, has good pocket poise and mobility. Similar make up to Gardner, just not as big yet. His high school, Trotwood Madison, is a SW Ohio powerhouse, and produces a fair amount of D1 talent, very well coached. They also play in a pretty good conference, so not a lot of cupcakes. Has the height, needs some weight, but so did Taco Charlton...and we see what happened there. Bottom line, he's talented, current coaching staff will have him college ready, and he's shown a lot of interest in Michigan. I think he'll be offered by the end of this HS season, and more than likely will be the Class of 16 QB.

  10. This has to be the biggest single recruiting weekend for as long as I have following recruiting. Tons and tons of blue-chippers there. Wow.
