Shallman, Dawson, and Lewis are all are local kids and long-time M fans, so while it's surprising and awesome they committed so early (and on the same day to boot), it's not really surprising. But Bosch? That came out of nowhere. He was taking visits to different places and talking like he wanted to draw out the decision-making process. Guess Hoke+Mattison really did a good sell.

Who have you heard for the other recruits? I know Taco Charleton, Jake Butt, and Ethan Pocic are visiting right now, so I presume them?

4* db Keanu Neal and unranked lb Dillan Lawson committed to UF

6 top 200 recruits for UM in one day? Yes please! UM-OSU rivalry should be even more epic in the next few years, both Hoke and Meyer are killing it in recruiting.

OL Chris Fox 46th in Rivals 250
OL Kyle Bosch 60
RB/DE/TE Wyatt Shallman 160
CB Jourdan Lewis 167
DE Taco Charlton 183
OL David Dawson 199

That gives us 8 total recruits in the Rivals250... hot damn.

Ehh, maybe. Wisconsin has definitely shown they don't need top talent to win, wouldn't count them out as future contenders based just on star rankings.

On that note, I can't decide whether I think Dantonio, whose recent MSU teams have majorly outperformed their recruiting rankings (which generally correlate to a teams success), is legit or not. MSU has "hit" on a ton of 3-stars who have turned out amazing - Jerel Worthy, BJ Cunningham, et al. - allowing them to post consecutive double-digit win seasons despite a lack of guru-approved top talent. Could be Dantonio actually has a great eye for talent, or could be if you flip enough coins you sometimes get a bunch of heads in a row. I am leaning towards the latter view. I don't think MSU can consistently battle for the B10 title over the long haul without top talent. Not trying to downgrade their achievements the past few years, just don't think it's sustainable.

Msu is screwed IMO. And I doubt Bielema can win without Chryst.

OH TE Jake Butt (Rivals #96 player overall, #4 TE) commits to Michigan. Also, top LT Logan Tilley-Tulman is probably committing within the next 48 hours.

I hear Michigan is going to do a lot of weird stuff with Butt. Put him in a lot of different formations.

[bearsfan_51]

People shouldn't be surprised how into Butt Michigan was this year.

Anus........

[CashmoneyDrew]

Poor guy is probably the butt of a lot of jokes.

[srv fan]

Quit mocking him, you guys are clearly just butt-hurt he didn't commit to your schools.

Illinois OT Logan Tulley-Tillman (4 star, Rivals #109 overall) commits to Michigan. 6'7, 305, with offers from Alabama, Arkansas, tOSU, FSU, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and many others.

Just for the record, 10 out of UMs 11 commits are currently ranked in the Rivals250.

[RufusMcDaniel]

Butt should be glad Mike Cox is not around anymore.

4 star Ohio WR Jarron Dukes is likely going to commit this week to Michigan.
