    Bolden sounds like a lock and Ross is a guy you've got to bend over backwards to make room for. After years of getting our asses kicked in recruiting by the likes of USC and OSU, I hope that we're not about to turn down a borderline 5* guy offered by those guys who wants to come to Michigan. I don't care how you make room for him. Move Clark and Heitzman to TE so that you only have to take one in this class. Lose somebody's phone number. Pull a Saban and get somebody a "medical" hardship. Don't renew a fifth year senior's scholly. If we don't have room for Ross, we shouldn't have taken Ringer or some of the borderline recruits that Hoke signed when he was hired.

      Jenkins-Stone had offers from Florida, Domers, and Alabama ... it's nice to actually win recruiting battles against non-MAC teams.

        Ringer is a borderline 4 star. I don't mind taking him.

          I've got Ringer as a legit 4-star, before he showed significant interest in M, he was arguably the top LB in Ohio. Now that he's a M commit, he'll get downgraded by those folks from Ohio.

            Of course I'll post ND recruiting on my ND thread...there was some leeway here on the previous forum...then a thread specifically for non-UM recruiting.

            Just getting my feet wet here Oracle...

                Rumblings at Rivals over the weekend was that he was ready to comit to Auburn at his visit there this weekend but these rumors were shot down pretty quickly and disappeared.

                If I were guessing, I'd say he's a Tiger. Huge get if Hoke rakes him in.
                There is such a thing as redemption. Jim Harbaugh is redeemed at the expense of a fading Ryan Day and OSU. M wins back to back games v. OSU first time since 1999-2000​ - John Cooper was fired in 2000!!!

                  Me too, ... unfortunately. Most times, those "rumblings" have their root in truth.

                    Hard to compete with the payola machine at Auburn. The program will be on probation before Pike is a senior.

                      He's going to be a HS senior this year, and will probably have a red shirt year, where-ever he goes.

                      So, his entire playing career at Auburn could be under probation.

                      But hey, .. money talks. Just ask O-lie-O.

                        At least a decision from Pike could shake a few other quarterbacks off the fence.

                              Yesteday's Kalamazoo Gazette had a story about a local h.s. senior who just set a state weight lifting record. Gary Yerden is 6'6", weighs 330 lbs., has twice accomplished a record dead lift of 660 lbs.! He played only one year of h.s. football and has pretty much flown under the radar college recruiters. But it sounds like the kid has huge upside potential. Greg Mattison gets credit for pursuing a lead on this while other programs ignored the opportunity. Gary Yerden will get preferred walk-on status at UM this fall. He has people buzzing. Here is the story:

                                FWIW Pike likely selecting Auburn.
