Wolverine Wednesday: Plan For Final 2

It's June 27th and Michigan has two spots left in its 2013 recruiting class. It's still hard to believe that Michigan has 22 verbal commits already in the fold. Which leaves two more spots in this class and many questions on how the Wolverines will fill the remaining two slots. Here is my take:

Wide Receiver is still the #1 target to fill the last spot. Alvin Bailey a 4 star WR from Florida will be in Ann Arbor today or Thursday for a visit, this is his first visit to Ann Arbor so it's hard to know if he is a serious candidate for that spot yet. It seems the recruitment of Laquon Treadwell is nowhere near the end and I bet the Michigan coaches will not wait too much longer for Treadwell to finish his tour of all the top programs in America.

Running Back is the second need in this class. Michigan has two power backs already committed in Wyatt Shallman and Deveon Smith. They would like to add a speed back to that mix. The last two candidates are Derrick Green and Tuesday visitor Jordan Wilkins. My gut tells me that Michigan won't land either one of these guys and won't take another RB in this class.

I think Michigan would like to add one more DB in this class. A safety or corner back. I think the leading candidates to take that last spot is Kendall Fuller or Leon McQuay III. Both of these guys are highly recruited and I believe Michigan would take either one if they want to jump on board. Kendall is rumored to be a Virginia Tech lean and Leon is thinking about leaving the South (Florida) to play at Michigan.

Michigan is clearly looking for a "speed" player on offense for the last two spots. If that doesn't work out, I still believe they will take one more WR but will look to defense to fill the other.

Potential Surprises? I could see another DT if Fuller and McQuay don't work out. I could also see an offer to Braylon's brother Berkley if they really are looking for speed at RB and Green/Wilkins go elsewhere.

• David Brandon on the new playoff system:  "What I really like about this solution is that all the bowls are going to continue to be very relevant and the bowl system will benefit from this whole playoff arrangement as opposed to be a victim of it," Michigan athletic director David Brandon said. "The integrity of the bowls is a very important thing that's been developed for over a century and the fact that we're gonna make sure that that bowl system is important and relevant is a very positive aspect of what has been decided."

• It looks like the Michigan Baseball Head Coaching job is going to Maryland's Head Coach Erik Bakich or Chris Sabo.

• Michigan has offered a familiar name in the 2014 class in Alex Bars.  Alex is the brother of 2012 incoming freshman Blake Bars.  Alex plays both OL and DL and is 6'6 265 pounds as a Junior.
