2020 Recruiting Thread

Never mind. I was curious so I looked it up myself. 22 commitments. 11 seniors.

[Benthere2]

Wisconsin has 10 seniors and 11 committed and I assume are not done yet

your point is that you don't like a coach at Minnesota that can bring in Athletes that will push back on Wisconsin's ride at the top of the division.  Well its happening whether you like it or not.

There will be 2-3 players who retire due to injuries this summer, assuming they graduate. If not, they will go through December. In addition, one player just went into the portal. 

There are 13-14 spots right now, and there always seems to be attrition of 2-3 after the season. I suspect the class will be 16 kids or so, at the end.

As for what I think about Barnum bringing in athletes.. I don't. 

I do wonder how he's gonna get rid of 11 kids to make room for his 22 (assuming he's done at 22). That's a ton of players, and you'd have to think some of the current Juniors are looking over their shoulders.

3 star tight end Joe Royer commits to the Bucks out of Cincinnati

[FearlessF]

Nebraska received a commitment from Kuemper (Iowa) Catholic defensive end Blaise Gunnerson. The highly recruited rising senior announced his decision on Tuesday.

Gunnerson (6-5, 255 pounds) is the No. 2 class of 2020 recruit in the state of Iowa per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. He took an official visit to Nebraska the weekend of June 14th and credits the staff, including defensive coordinator and Iowa-native Erik Chinander, with being a major part of his decision.

"Nebraska just felt like home to me," Gunnerson said. "The coaching staff recruited me the right way and were honest with me throughout the process. Coach Chinander did a great job making me feel at home. I talked it over with my family. We came to a mutual agreement that Nebraska will help me reach my full potential on and off the field. The people in Lincoln also made me feel at home, it’s a great place to be."


Gunnerson had six scholarship offers including Iowa and Minnesota in the Big Ten, but Nebraska's primary competition was Iowa State, a school he has a lot of history and family ties with. He took an official visit with the Cyclones the weekend after he went to Nebraska.

Gunnerson becomes the seventh commitment for Nebraska in their 2020 class.

He is the first commitment from Iowa in this class. They signed defensive lineman Mosai Newsom out of Iowa in the 2019 class.

3 star tight end Joe Royer commits to the Bucks out of Cincinnati

I bet he is a very good player with potential, and his current 3 star rating may hurt OSU's ranking.

He'll be a 4* by the end of the week.

Harbaugh continuing his summer hot streak, as 4* WR Roman Wilson (6'0, 175 lbs) from Hawaii commits to Michigan. Wilson got bumped up to 4* status after he set one of those Nike Opening combines on fire with a laser timed 4.32 in the 40, 3.96 shuttle, and vertical leap of 39". In terms of just pure speed and acceleration AJ Henning and Roman Wilson might be the fastest pair of WR's in one class in the entire nation.

Between the 2019 WR class with big-bodied outside WR Cornelius Johnson and slot ninjas Mike Sainstril, Giles Jackson & George Johnson III and the 2020 WR class with speedsters like Roman Wilson and AJ Henning, got to say, I'm feeling pretty good about the future of WR at Michigan even with Oliver Martin transferring and DPJ, Nico, and Tarik all going into their JR year.

They have big-time talent at WR on the roster right now and they are re-stocking it with more. Don't think there's a coach with a bigger put up or shut up year in 2019 than Harbaugh. He's got a shit load of veteran talent at WR- DPJ and Nico got lot of experience last year and will be juniors. Tarik Black is finally healthy. KNOCKS on wood. Harbaugh has a senior 5 STARZ QB and he just went out and hired one of the hottest young offensive coaches in the game in Gattis. If Michigan's offense and passing attack isn't breaking school records, Harbaugh should be on the hotseat officially. In his first year at Michigan with all new players and coaches and no Tarik Black Shea went for 2,600 yards and 22 TD's vs 7 INT's last year. The school record at Michigan for passing yards is like 3,200 by Navarre and the TD record is 25 by Henne.

IF Patterson can't get at least 3,500 pass yards and 32 TD passes- Harbaugh should be on the hot seat. The anaemic single season school pass yards should be broken. THIS YEAR.

I get these "updates" on FB about recruiting, of late they have been "TRENDING" for School X.  Obviously that means some wags somewhere vote about their GUESS as to where player Y is going.  Some running back has 4 schools on his finalist list and apparently a third of the wags think he will go to Oklahoma, which is not on his stated final four list.

Hey, at least pick one of the four, you have a 25% shot at being right.

It IS July now.  It's easy to forget.  Tomorrow is a Federal Holiday.  I think John Adams thought it would be July 2.  My twins were born on the 5th.

Well hopefully he can't catch......or study

Michigan has been on a recruiting potlash.  That said, Michigan has a huge need for DTs and there are no such recruits at this time.

[847badgerfan]

Yeah, UW needs DT's in a bad way too. Not much out there right now. Emerging seniors will have to suffice for this cycle.

Losing Hutmacher to UNL really hurt, but not surprising given where he lives, and that his parents are UNL fans.

Evidently they're going to outscore some teams
