2020 Recruiting Notes

Football is a little bit different though. 100 players per team and players can declare early. The amount of turnover there is ridiculous because it has to be.

I stopped watching football about 5 years ago my recollection is that there were “commitable” and non-commitable offers

Which…whatever

there is no evidence YET to indicate that Juwan is offering kids that he does not have a real shot, only that the requirement of a visit does not withstand. The only offer outside Beilein’s targets so far is Christopher, but we simply don’t know where this is out of blue or there is some connections unknown to us between the new coaching staff and the kid.

A lot of basketball programs have that same commitable/non-commitable offer situation.

On the attack each day podcast yesterday with the Harbaughs, Juwan said he had a kid lined up for an official for a football game already. Said he was really excited to come visit. Wonder who that might be.

Probably his kid :slight_smile:

Zeb Jackson. I believe he said that this was a committed recruit.

My read was more along the lines of “committed to take an official visit” than a committed recruit.

I believe that was the case too.

After reading it again, I think that you’re right.

no Jace Howard?

Isn’t Jace mostly considered a mid-major prospect?

I would expect to see a lot of new interest coming out over the two weeks or so between

a) The coaching staff finally being together
b) NBPA Top 100 Camp
c) June 15th contact day for rising juniors

Dylan, any further insights whether a recruiting coordinator will be part of Juwan’s staff?

I want Marjon Beauchamp. He’s the Beauchampion of the West.

I would pay a lot more attention to the guy one spot ahead of him on Matt’s list (Nimari Burnett).

Can’t leave off Nimari Burnett! Michigan probably has as good a shot at him as anyone on the list.

I haven’t heard anything specific as far as additional names. None of the non-coaching staff roles have been announced yet, so will probably be a handful of new names.
