Early Signing Day Tracker
Today is Early Signing Day. Here’s a quick list of who’s expected to send in their LOIs to Michigan today, who has already, and who’s committed but not expected to sign today. We’ll keep it updated throughout the day.
Every commit but Otis Reese (who’s going to be a battle to the end) and Kevin Doyle (who’s solid but plans to sign with his HS teammates in February, via Baumgardner) are expected to sign today. Michigan’s official twitter is rolling the announcements out over time so don’t get squirmy if someone hasn’t sent one in yet.
LOI is in:
- Mustapha Muhammed, TE, Texas. He was expected to wait until February but sent in his LOI today.
- Myles Sims, CB, Georgia
- Joe Milton, QB, Florida
- Cameron McGrone, OLB, Indiana
- Aidan Hutchinson, SDE, Michigan
- Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan
- Ryan Hayes, TE/OT, Michigan
- Gemon Green, CB, Texas
- German Green, CB/S, Texas
- Christian Turner, RB, Georgia
- Sammy Faustin, CB, Florida
- Ben VanSumeren, FB, Michigan
- Taylor Upshaw, SDE, Florida
- Julius Welschof, SDE, Germany
- Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Connecticut
- Hassan Haskins, RB, Missouri
Can’t sign today but would have:
- Ronnie Bell, WR, Missouri. Via Sam, because Bell signed an LOI for a basketball scholarship already this year he can’t sign another until 2018 so he went the financial aid agreement route.
Not expected to sign today but committed to Michigan:
- Otis Reese, OLB, Georgia
- Kevin Doyle, QB, District of Columbia

This might be the greatest post I've ever seen.
Edit: posted in the wrong place....damn it! This was supposed to be in response to UM2k1's post about getting a Little Brother and Vendredi.

Just watched the German's highlights. He will be a bit of a project. He is upright as soon as the ball is snapped. But I suppose there is some raw athleticism to work with.

Looks like Ronnie Bell can't sign a LOI because he already signed one for basketball this year (2017). He will have to wait unitl the February date.

I can't find it on the internet.
Oh wait, we cancelled it?
Is that because we suck again?

See, whats frustrating about the snarky "we suck" crowd is it puts me & others in the position of having to lay 3 of our 4 losses DIRECTLY on 1 player (and you could argue said player gave us no shot to attempt a comeback in the 4th).
I don't WANT to single out a player that way,even if he's willing to put it on himself!
Suffice to say, like last year, we were a pretty thin margin away from tbe CFP.
So, like, we DIDN'T suck man!

Seems like it's mostly Michigan kids with a good dose of Florida and Georgia kids mixed in.
What's interesting is the lack of kids from Ohio, Pennsylvania and the eastern seaboard (NY down to VA) as those have been some of the main sources of Michigan talent through the year. I would like to think that there are some good players from those regions this year too.
Penn State has recently re-appeared from the dead as a team that can sell itself as a contender, Virginia Tech is a winner again, ND under Kelly remains a force, OSU remains stellar. It seems like their good fortunes would put a lot of pressure on Michigan's recruiting and that at first sight seems like as good an explanation as any as to why this class may not live up to many people's lofty expectations.

Zero recruits from Ohio. UofM will rue the day it turned its back on high school player from that state. Meanwhile, MSU took seven players from Ohio, including two 4-stars. UofM should be cultivating Ohio, not ignoring it, IMO.

I’ll take a 3 star from GA or TX over a 4 star from Ohio. You sound like Marcus Ray. Are you from Columbus too?

Why in the world would you want to do that? You do realize both Harbaugh and Schembechler were born in Ohio and that Bo coached at Ohio State, right?
