    • Never too early to get started on 2014 especially o-lineman. Wondering do you know anything about 2014 James Hendren a 6'7" OT from MA heard he is interested in Michigan and might take a summer visit.

      Good question. I will try to get an update from Hendren!

    • Sounds like Michigan offers much of what he's looking for, and it's definitely good news that he likes the cold weather and is from B1G country.

    • How many O-lineman do you think we will take in 2014? Also just curious if we take 24 this year how many can we take in 2014? I know that changes a little and hard to tell now but I suppose a well rounded guess in your opinion.
      I do love how Michigan is already pursuing top talent in 2014. Hoke has def changed how things are run.

      First time I've looked at this, so here we go.

      Our 2013 seniors that we will lose for the 2014 class:
      ***QB Devin Gardner
      RB Fitzgerald Toussaint
      FB Stephan Hopkins
      WR Jeremy Jackson
      WR Drew Dileo
      WR Jeremy Gallon
      RT Mike Schofield
      **LT Taylor Lewan
      DT Quintin Washington
      DT Jibreel Black
      LB Cam Gordon
      *LB Mike Jones
      CB Courtney Avery
      CB Terrance Talbott
      S Thomas Gordon
      S Marcus Robinson
      P Will Hagerup
      K Brendan Gibbons

      *Mike Jones may not be asked back for his fifth year senior year, so he might be gone after this year considering he was already passed on the depth chart by Joe Bolden.
      **Taylor Lewan could possibly leave early for the draft if next year goes as planned.
      ***Devin Gardner is still pending his medical redshirt. As of now, it looks positive, but I still included him because he is technically a junior. If he is granted his redshirt, take him off.

      That's 18 spots. With the possibilities above and just normal offseason attrition, we'll probably see the 2014 class right around 20. IMO

      Also, I forgot about RS JRs, or guys who will have the possibility of having a 5th year in 2014. Those are:

      WR Jerald Robinson
      TE Jordan Paskorz
      TE Ricardo Miller
      DT Kenny Wilkins
      DT Richard Ash
      LB Jake Ryan
      S Josh Furman

      A couple of those could graduate and not come back for their 5th year, pushing the number for the 2014 class closer to 22ish.

      I GUARANTEE we will lose more than that... no less than 24-25 imo
