2024 Recruiting Thread

[Mdot21]

5* QB Jadyn Davis (#28 player overall, #4 QB in the 247Composite) commits to Michigan. Nice pick up for Jeem there. His '24 class is setting up to be a whale of a class for him, top 3-5ish territory. 

I'll take a bird in the hand over one in the bush, but have to think this probably hurts the huge momentum Michigan has made with class of '25 5* QB Bryce Underwood- who will wind up being the #1 player overall in the '25 class imo.

Michigan right in the thick of things for a slew of 247Compsite top 250 OL recruits- maybe even leading for like 6 of them. They already have a pair of Ohio kids- 4* Luke Hamilton and 3* Ben Roebuck in the fold. They are likely taking 6 OL's total- will be interesting to see who the final 4 are. Michigan also said to be in the lead for 4* RB Taylor Tatum of Texas. Tatum is the #35 overall player and #3 RB in the 247Composite.

Jeem could land a 5* QB (Jadyn Davis), two top 10 composite RB's (Jordan Marshall- #7 RB and Tatum #3 RB), and an OL class that will have 6 signees and 5 of which will be 4*'s or higher. Jeem also already has a commit from Hogan Hansen- the #187 player overall in the 247Composite and #10 TE- and he's in on like 6 other TE's that are 4* top 250 players in the 247Composite. They are apparently taking up to 3 TE's this cycle. They'll likely land Brady Prieskorn - who is an in-state kid and the #51 player overall and #3 TE. Any other TE after that is just gravy.

WR 'crootin still kinda sucking right now- but my god the QB/RB/OL/TE 'crootin could wind up being a whale of a class.

4* OT Andrew Sprague (6'8, 290) from Missouri has announced he's moving up his commitment and will be committing this Friday, April 7th. Sprague just visited Michigan, and all signs are pointing to a commitment to Jeem. Sprague is the #160 player and #9 OT in the 247Composite. 

Michigan is also in the top running for 4* OT's Blake Frazier, Max Anderson, Michael Uini, and Bennett Warren - all from Texas. Frazier they will most likely land very soon, he is a legacy and the son of former Michigan OL Steve Frazier who played for Lloyd Carr.

Ohio St gets a commitment from Mylan Graham, a 5* WR from Indiana who is the #27 player overall and #5 WR in the 247Composite. Oh yeah, they already have the commitment of Jeremiah Smith from Florida- the #2 player overall and #1 WR in the 247Composite.

At this point with the way they recruit WRs it doesn't really matter who the QB is lol. Brian Hartline needs to get a head coaching gig somewhere else already. That man recruits and develops WRs like nothing I have ever seen...

College football recruiting expenses by conference: SEC stands out as Georgia spends big for success in 2022 - CBSSports.com

Zounds.  

How much does it cost to buy the resources necessary to win a national championship? If you ask the two-time reigning champion Georgia Bulldogs, the answer is $16,518,859. The Bulldogs spent that much between 2017-22 on recruiting expenses, which was more than $5 million more than any other program in the country over the same period, according to analysis of public records obtained by USA Today for Power Five schools. The gap between Georgia and No. 2 spender Alabama almost matches the difference between Alabama and Nebraska. 

Recruiting budgets can cover a wide variety of expenses during the process, including vast recruiting departments, transportation, visits and much more. While spending does not guarantee success, seven of the last eight titles were won by schools in the top three in recruiting spending: Georgia, Alabama and Clemson.

Lol. On a serious note Hartline will probably be in the NFL or get a head coaching gig soon so the rest of the B1G won't have to deal with him for much longer thankfully. Hartline said on the Bussin' With the Boys podcast that he wants to coach in the NFL or get a head coaching gig somewhere in college one day and implied sooner rather than later. If he keeps pumping out high 1st rd NFL WRs and recruiting WRs like none else someone is going to hire him. Can't come soon enough.

that dude was a must get for them imo after losing in-state stud Jordan Marshall to Michigan.

Michigan is going hard in Texas as well, they are hot after some OL's and the #1 RB in Texas as well, Taylor Tatum. Dude who runs the 247 Texas Horns Insider has CRYSTAL BALLLZ'd Tatum to Michigan. But we'll see if Marshall affects their standing with Tatum. Dude might not want to come into a class with another top 100 ranked player at RB.

My school really needs to step it up here.

a good reason I have hope for my school

4* OT Andrew Sprague (6’8, 290) from Missouri commits to Michigan. 

They are laying the foundations for a hell of a QB/RB/OL/TE class. They have a 5* QB and they could conceivably wind up with the highest rated RB, OL, and TE classes if things fall their way. 

WR class gonna be lackluster however. Not very many top 100-250 overall WRs looking their way. Hey, we can’t all be Ohio St and get three 5* WRs every class.
