#33 Myles Rowser - former commit and brother of Andre Seldon
August 18th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
Someone must not know that he committed to Michigan. He will drop to 500 or so when that fact comes out.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:58 PM ^
Based on what?
August 18th, 2020 at 5:19 PM ^
I guess I should have used the /s. I am really glad for his rise and it shows that the coaches are smarter than most people.
August 18th, 2020 at 9:24 PM ^
I mean that’s really a take some people here would have. When in doubt, always use the /s.

Live and learn!
August 18th, 2020 at 4:09 PM ^
We're probably only get like 2 of those guys you'd mentioned because of course we would.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:11 PM ^
I think besides Trent and maybe Walker all of the rest are high priority targets with solid leads on Brown, Morris, Burnham, and Tatum
August 18th, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
that's a big jump

Was going to do a similar post but instead will add...
Seems like a lighter (more normal?) year for in-state kids than 2021.
You could add former commit (and still M lean?) Myles Rowser to the list (as in-state?) if you want -- he will be at IMG this year and is rated #33 overall as a DB/Safety.
Also of note:
- Domani Jackson - 6'1" CB from CA is #2 overall and M was his dream school growing up. M will be in this one until the end per Sam Webb. (I think he is pretty tight with Green-Warren from the '20 class so hopefully DGW is enjoying M so far!)
- OSU has 5 verbals already from that list - 3 in the top 21 --all but one are in-state kids. This includes missing on 2 Ohio kids currently committed to other B1G teams (PSU and ntUM).
- In addition to M and OSU the B1G has 6 other teams with verbals in this top 250 -- Iowa, Wisconsin, PSU (x2), Minnesota, Maryland, and Purdue (!?)
- File under "Some things never change" -- There are 3 or 4!! OL from Wisconsin on the list (none have committed to a school yet)

I was talking to Tay’Shawn the other day and he was joking to me about his MSU offer. He’s been working real hard, and is super bummed about the postponement
August 18th, 2020 at 5:00 PM ^
Could you imagine a CB haul of Will Johnson and Domani Jackson!
Unfortunately is seems like Johnson is pretty keen on LSU.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:38 PM ^
Really hoping for one of them. Both would be unreal. Add Rowser and Gould and this class could rival OSU's insane class of 2017 with Okudah (8), Wade (17), Pryor (63), Williamson (182), Riep (186). Obviously turned out well for them with the exception of Riep.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:41 PM ^
More like that we end up with Jaeden Gould and 1 of those 2. Gould seems almost like a Michigan lock at this point
August 18th, 2020 at 5:33 PM ^
VanSumeren is legit. Dude is like 280 and moves really well
Really hoping we get Josh Burnham. His tape is impressive
August 18th, 2020 at 5:59 PM ^
I remember a time when I couldn't wait for lists like this to be released. Now I just seem to try to not look at it because: a) I don't want to get my hopes on the guys we will be favored for and miss on or b) the fact our archnemesis has 3 of the top 4 linebackers and is favored to get the 4th. I really tried not to look.
August 18th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
mmm rivals must have seen vansumeren got a bama offer
