UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[lineygoblue]

Another one in the "sky is falling" category, .. another one has de-committed.

Stone Mountain (GA) 2018 three-star offensive lineman Jalil Irvin became the third prospect within the last 24 hours to decommit from Michigan, as he reopened his recruitment on Tuesday morning.


Irvin, whose only other offers are from Illinois and Tulane, has never visited Ann Arbor and pledged to the staff sight unseen after a satellite camp in Atlanta in June.

Good -- make room for Ruiz, Wilson, and Slaton (hopefully).

[Jeff Buchanan]

Just a gut feeling ...... something is going on inside the fort. When stuff like this happens in waves, it's not coincidental or by happenstance. There's a reason for it.

I'm not going to plow through all the BS posts at mgoblog or renew my membership at Rivals but sometimes there are a couple of posters there who are connected and might know the inside story. If someone has the time/energy to have a look or already have looked, post a link or a summary of the post.

Well, they really wanted to keep Solomon.

The other two are 2018 kids, one of whom committed sight unseen.

[The Oracle]

Yeah, Solomon is the only one that hurts, but that wasn't that unexpected.

I need you to run the 247 class calculator, "The" Oracle, and come up with M's "best guess" 247 Composite total...hop to!

Probably Urban Meyer, Kirby Smart, moms, influential uncles, and SEC money.

I'll do an optimistic but realistic one...stand by.

Edit: Weird, I had him clicked the first time, just didn't save. Here's what I got...putting the number at 29, probably best case scenario. 299.72

[Hannibal]

No Ruiz on that list?

[iam416]

No Ruiz on that list?

Ruiz is on the list and, heh, so is Tate Martell on in place of Ruiz. I'm certain Martell is unrealistic for M :-)

I don't see Darnay Holmes coming, but I suppose it meets the "reasonable" threshold.

[The Oracle]

Geez, fucking nitpickers. Don't know how I clicked on Martell, but he's off now. 299.72.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Geez, fucking nitpickers.....

Get it right or someone here is going to hammer you.

[The Oracle]

Do it your damned selves!!

Let's not forget football season starts in 11 days. Let's see how we fair on the recruiting trail come late January.

The BGRC Oracle came up with is solid and I can almost guarantee we get a surprise commit or two.
