With the addition of him our future OLine could be:LT-Magnuson, LG-Garnett, C- I don't know who exactly, but we are in good shape, RG-Kalis, RT-Braden. And it could get even stronger with the addition of some 2013 studs.<br />Wright-He could be a shut down corner right away, our secondary would be unstoppable. Wright would shut down one side and the other CB and Safteys would all be ballhawks.<br />Payton- It will be hard to beat Cal, but a great visit can win him over. He could be a solid contributor as a freshman and possibly a starter as a sophomore.<br />Dunn-The uncertainty of osu sanctions and coaches will finally wear on him and he will finally join all his friends at Michigan.<br />This finish would be remarkable, here are the rankings for each individual (using Espn, 247, rivals, and scout)<br /><br />Garnett average national rank: 36<br />Wright average national rank: 36.25<br />Payton average national rank: 128.3 (not on espnu 150 so Espn rank not included)<br />Dunn average national rank: 102 (not on espnu 150 so Espn rank not included)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616035896106557434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-78339356589224048852011-08-09T06:11:54.943-07:002011-08-09T06:11:54.943-07:00osu responds to the allegations on Aug 12.

I love this for two reasons: 1)osu is still going to have uncertainty as long as they are being investigated which will be unappealing to coaches and recruits. 2)osu has a better chance of having more dirt uncovered or getting in trouble for not cooperating with the NCAA, both of which should lead to a harsher punishment.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616035896106557434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-19991242181268957892011-08-08T14:26:22.450-07:002011-08-08T14:26:22.450-07:00I think that Aug. 12th will tell us where we stand...I think that Aug. 12th will tell us where we stand for Dunn.

IMO, at least one WR is very important, a second is a luxury. Guaranteed we will get an "elite" WR (one that can attain the #1 jersey). Now that all needs (minus that WR)are filled Hoke will be patient, selective and increase their pursuit of Banner, Diamond, Dunn, Stanford, Payton, Reeves and Wright. All of these guys are in or very close to ESPN's 150. Recruiting news may be quite slow till Sept. 10th when a few of these guys come off the board after a delicious Michigan win over ND! My guess for the last four is: Diamond, Dunn, Payton, and Wright to go Blue. If not Payton will get the Darboh kid out of Iowa.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14107687928010064506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-8404914691055811492011-08-08T13:56:09.129-07:002011-08-08T13:56:09.129-07:00Hey Ben, I'm curious why you included 24/7 ins...Hey Ben, I'm curious why you included 24/7 instead of rivals's rankings.

Attrition is a bitch and I think you look for a solid back every year. First solid prospect that jumps on board gets the job. The only exception to this that I suspect is the case right now is if the coaches are holding out and hoping for Dunn. We don't have many promising offers out there and haven't offered but could probably land Lewis. <br /><br />Then there's always.....Do we take another DT if it's a stud.<br /><br />So apparently I agree with both of you but feel like I don't know S%@t about the last few spots.GoBlueNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893745417245905594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-40709968125783679562011-08-08T12:11:27.440-07:002011-08-08T12:11:27.440-07:00@Richard
