Michigan Monday: Recaps Commit Weekend

A week ago, Michigan fans were a little disappointed that none of the commits committed during the first recruiting weekend of the Harbaugh era.  The coaches made up for lost time this weekend and they reeled in 3 commits.

• QB Zach Gentry a former Texas commit.
• DE Ruben Jones a former Nebraska commit
• OL Nolan Ulizio a former UConn commit

Zach is of course the headliner and gives Michigan two 4 star QB's in this class.   Malzone will have a step on Gentry as he is already enrolled and will get two weeks of practice in spring ball.    Zach is a huge individual, just look at the below picture.   He is #11 in the below picture if your wondering.   #81 is Jake Pickard who is listed at 6'6 and Gentry is clearly much taller then him. 




What's next?

Well it all depends on how many kids they are really going to take in this class.   The coaches were telling recruits they were going to take a total of 12 spots.   What is interesting is the two guys that enrolled early can use scholarships from the 2014 season if there are two open or two scholarships from the 2015 season.    Michigan has the option to do either.  

Mgoblog is saying this class could reach 16-17 guys.  I doubt they will go that high, unless the 5 star guys want to jump on board.   Needs include: DE, WR,

Who is still left on the board?

I like to rank the recruits like an NFL draft board.   This is purely my take on which recruits the coaches rank the highest.

1.  Mike Weber - Jimmy called him on the flight to Michigan.   He is keeping things close to the vest and may stick with OSU commit. 

2. Iman Marshall - just visited a week ago, still probably an USC lean.

3.  Chris Clark - visited UCLA this past weekend and will announce on ESPNU on signing day.   Jimmy will have an in home with him this week.  Might be a slight UCLA lean at this point.

4. Ty Wheatley, Jr. - He is visiting everyone but Michigan.   Michigan also has a new commit from a DE this weekend and also just hosted a TE/DE combo player in Jake Pickard.   Not sure what is going on with his recruitment and Michigan at this point.

5. Roquan Smith - visited a week ago and will announce on NSD.  Michigan is in top 3.

6. Damon Arnette - visited a week ago, still committed to South Carolina.

7.  Jake Pickard - visited last weekend and still is a Wisconsin soft commit.   Could commit before signing day.

8. Chris Williamson -  visited last weekend and is a "hot" non-committed player right now. 

9.  Reagan Williams - visited last weekend and plays pretty much every position and a current Stanford commit.

10. Will Lockett - visited this weekend and had good feelings about Michigan.  Soft commit to UCLA.   Will is now solid with UCLA.

11.Auden Tate - likes Michigan but probably too late to flip the FSU commit.  Already used his official visit to Michigan this Fall.

There is one visit weekend left before signing day, at this point I have not heard about a ton of visitors.    This could be a really fun signing day!
