I put up a post this morning over at Maize 'n' Brew that hands out grades for the 2011 recruiting class. Head on over there to check it out if you're interested.
Seems lackluster, but hopefully a few of these guys develop. Too bad they couldn't get one more lineman in. UM needs at least 2/3 OL to develop into solid options, which is a high percentage. Do you know anything about Posada? I find it curious that RR recruited him since he seems like more of the lumbering type. Perhaps it was to prime the recruiting pump at his high school? They should be able to sell early playing time to OL recruits in the next class. I would expect Hoke to sign at least four top prospects in 2012 and maybe one or two projects.
Even though he is not a world beater, I have a feeling Bellomy may be the most important player in the class. There is a chance of Denard (new offense) or Devin (2nd stringer) getting disgruntled. My guess is that Denard will struggle to be effective passing in this offense, especially this season. The coaches will have to get Bellomy prepared asap.
I agree with everything you said here. I don't know much about Posada. All I've seen are team highlights that only have fleeting images of Posada playing football, so all I really have to go on is what I've read/heard about him. And frankly, the reviews haven't been glowing.
I hope Denard and/or Devin doesn't look for greener pastures, but anytime you only have 3 scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, things get a little scary. I hope Bellomy progresses quickly.
