Recap on Michigan's recruiting class

Signing day as come and passed. After going 3-9 last year many expected Michigan to have a below average recruiting class coming in, however that is farther from the truth. Depending on the website Michigan ranks from 7th to 15th in this years recruiting class. Even though the recruiting for this year is not over, Michigan is not expected to sign anyone else. However with recruiting, one never knows till its official. Michigan landed some big time prospects that can make significant contributions next year.

Tate Forcier: He may and probably will be the starting the starting Quarterback next year for Michigan. He is the typical duel threat QB that is required to run the spread. He can run the ball, and has some good elusiveness. The best part about Tate is, he can throw, and he is very accurate for a freshman coming in. He wont be some project like Pat White was for West Virginia. Tate is already an established passer as well as a runner. He also enrolled early, so he will get that much needed experience running the offense.

William Campbell: This guy is a BEAST! Will comes in at 6-5 and weighing 317. This guy will be a beast on the D-line. He will probably get major playing time next year, being that the Defensive line is already thin. He can also play on the Offensive line, but right now, he is needed most playing defense. I will be enjoying watching in progress in the next 4 years.

Justin Turner: One of the best players to come from the state of Ohio, in fact he is one of the best safety's in the nation. Turner is very versatile, he can play safety and corner. He can not only play both positions, but he can be a lock down defender playing both! I hope Rich Rod plays him at safety next year. We already have a lousy secondary, and he will only help it. I believe he has a excellent chance of starting. If Justin doesn't start, he will get significant playing time. This kid can be the next great defensive player to come out of Michigan.

Fitzgerald Toussaint: He is a fantastic duel threat running back, a prototype spread back. He is fast, and he is a good pass catcher. He probably will not be in the running for a starting job, since the running back position for Michigan is pretty deep with Brandon Minor, Carlos Brown, and Michael Shaw. I do believe he will get to see the field during the year, most likely playing as a slot receiver. This kid has great potential. I expect him to have a solid career at Michigan, and not be a one and done kid like Sam.

The only thing that Michigan never truly addressed during this recruiting class was the linebacker position. We did land one, but we were not able to land one of the high school elites. Next year I expect Rich Rod to land a couple of stud Linebackers.

Quick Note

I am not surprised about A-rod being busted for steroids. However, how was he the only one singled out, out of over 100 players?! That doesn't make any sense. I think they should release all those names. Plus this was back in 2001-2003, who was not on the roids back then?! I also heard that Bud selig might, MIGHT suspend him for a couple of games?! Seriously Bud, your thinking about suspending A-rod for what he did 6 years ago?! When it was not against the rules to take steroids?! Give me a break, if he ends up getting suspended they need to suspend EVERYONE that got busted in 2003!
