Hoke Keeps Jumping Over Hurdles, Recruiting Next

When Hoke got hired at Michigan.  There was some pretty clear short term objectives in front of him. 

#1: Keep Denard
#2: Hire a High Profile DC to Turn Around this Defense
#3: Finish this Recruiting class

Current Status:
#1: Completed
#2: Completed
#3: Underway

Yes, Michigan has had some losses on the recruiting trail this month.  Both 5 star guys (yes, they are 5 star now) Dee Hart and Kris Frost to teams in Alabama but the tide is starting to turn.

Michigan has a good list of visitors coming in this weekend and Brady is in more locations then Waldo lately.   He got his first commitment today from a DB in Ohio and it looks like there could be more good news in the next two weeks.

Here are some of the visitors expected this weekend:

Justice Hayes, RB 4 Star and has a strong commitment to Michigan.

Raymon Taylor, DB 4 Star and a soft commitment to Indiana.  Instate guy that loves the Wolverines.  Looks good for a commitment this weekend or next.

Tony Posada, OL 3 Star and a soft commit to Michigan.  He was strong until the coaching change.  Michigan coaches have been down to see him and many think he will go back to "solid" this weekend.

Frank Clark, TE 3 star from Glenville.  Michigan has been on him for awhile and doing a visit with the new coaches this weekend.

Hoke Effect:

Matt Wile, K Army All American from San Diego.  Brady has been recruiting him for some time and his family has a long history with Michigan.  Looks great, here.

Stefan McClure, DB 4 Star guy from California.  Strong relationship with Brady.

Leilon Willingham LB 4 star and is committed to Texas AM.  Was supposed to take his official to A&M this weekend.  He cancelled that trip to come to Ann Arbor. 

On a side note: I wonder if Kris Frost is re-thinking Auburn with the Greg Mattison hire?  His love for Michigan and a guy that coached Ray Lewis should at least give him a second thought about going to Auburn.  I am not counting on it but it would be nice.
