Wolverine247 Board

Holy balls. 15 4-stars. This class is going to go down in history.

Nuts. I thought Smith was very well deserved (IMO a kid with January OSU and UM offers from Ohio is an auto 4 star), but the Conley love is a pleasant surprise. Who would have thought he would be a 4 star on 3 of 4 sites when he committed?

And the thing is it is every recruiting service across the board. 15 4 stars or higher on Scout, 247, and ESPN. Only 13 on Rivals, but Rivals also has 7 UM commitments in the top 100.

Coach Hoke and Co. sure know how to pick'em, really good talent evaluators.

F'n insane. Hoke and Co. are beastin 24/7. They must all be pretty good judges of talent...I continue to be amazed, no matter how far the distance....the recruits that are HIGHLY interested in us. Building a dynasty one 4 star at a time.

This is indicative of a group of coaches that are expert talent evaluators, in addition to being great recruiters. They see things in players when they are very young and start after with these guys before a lot of other teams. Treadwell and Isaac are both good examples of this, Conley another.

The real test will be in a couple of years when they are upperclassmen but all signs point to 'yes' at this juncture. At least I hope they do.

This is also what happens when the coaches have so much time to evaluate players. All the early commits are just going to make it easier to quickly evaluate talent for 2014 and beyond. We've already sent out quite a few offers for 2014, and more go out as coaches see more and more tape.

Will be a great two-year recruiting run. Half the battle will be over. Gotta develop these kids. Based on what they did with the talent they inherited on defense last year, I don't see that being a problem.

This is my first time seeing Mitch Trubisky's video and I think our coaches should consider getting in touch with him. Some of the throws he makes are...just awesome.

How many kids have you offered in "14 class?
