The New Recruiting Thread

With Northfleet coming in, that gives us 3 RB in this class.

I hope that doesn't scare Ty Isaac away.

also, at TE, Michigan got AJ WIlliams 6'6" 260

wasn't there talk of him moving to defense? Or am I mixing him up with someone else?

I know they were calling him a TE on the radio today, so I guess that's not happening.

Well, position switches are always possible. I really have no idea what they are going to do with some of these guys.

elite rb's aren't scared of a little competition.

There was talk he could "grow" into a tackle.

Well Houma is projected as a FB, not really a RB. Norfleet isn't really our prototypical RB either - more of a slot type of player; the Vincent smith roll. And not to take away from Drake Johnson but he's not exactly a projected five star player. His only offers are from us and EMU.

Even with Norfleet in this recruiting class I don't see our "future back" in any of them. Norfleet could possibly slip into that roll but I'm betting none of those prospects really scare away a guy like Ty Isaac who's supposed to be one of the best in his class. That's like Shane Morris being scared of Russell Bellomy.

In all honesty - Justice Hayes and Rawls have better shots at starting most years over any of these kids at the #1 RB spot. Which would leave a two year gab between them and any RB in next year's class. But, anything in possible I suppose.
 
So they are saying it's gonna be a quiet day for us since we locked everyone up early which is not a bad thing. So we have some top people still looking at us?

Josh, i think there is something else in play here. This past weekend, Michigan was in the final 2 of like 5 recruits and whiffed on all 5 of them. This has opened the door for some other recruits that might not have been recruited as heavily before. I don't think Michigan takes Henry or Norfleet if they get all of their other guys, but it might work out well or even better in the end. Henry seems like a good chance to take and Norfleet is a good prospect (4star on the sites). I just wonder why Michigan wasn't pursuing Norfleet in the first place, but i guess some kids just fall through the cracks.
 
I am excited to see what Norfleet can do. Much like Denard if the kid gets a crack he is GONE! We need a KR and a 3rd down back that can be a mismatch against a LB.
 
So we got Norfleet this morning right? I saw a DT on the list from Glenville how did we get him? I thought that school was on lock for OSU? Probably cause rat vest left.
 
Apparently Kozan is not final on Iowa.

From Hawkeye Insider: According to source close to Alex Kozan, the '12 CO OL still considering #Iowa #Auburn #Michigan as of last nite. Hasn't made final decision
 
The best thing about thing about norfleet is knowing we don't have a coach who is going to try to run him up the middle over and over.

Ohio St didn't offer him

I think Ted Ginn Sr tried to sabotage it by announcing it the night before Henry wanted to announce, but his attempt didn't work.

Did you watch Cyrus Miles this year? I know he went to Muller, the same school as that LB we were after last year.
 
Mullen has been a CO powerhouse for years but just a couple weeks back, fired former CU Buff/Cleveland Browns/Broncos radio guy Dave Logan. Cherry Creek picked him up within 48hours. That LB last year who wound up at Florida International was a head case from what I heard locally from CU people.

Yeah I remember his mom refusing to let him go to FIU but he left anyway.
