signing day is upon us (wed, 2/2).
things have been quite interesting since coaching has been settled and hoke (or more accurately, mattison) was hired.
the two biggest losses of the coaching switch are rb dee hart and LB kris frost, both of whom have been graded as 5stars and would be blue if RR were still here.
theres also a fairly highly coveted offensive lineman, jake fisher, who decommitted but michigan is still in on... but is visiting oregon this weekend.
tonight, michigan got its 5th hoke recruit (17th overall), cris bryant, a mammoth offensive lineman.
i cant speak for how good these recruits are vs what rivals/scout think, but i can say hoke is batting a very high percentage of targets/recruits. i think he's gotten all but 2 so far, and one was a cb who would have been the 6th of the class. so in that sense, its been a huge success for hoke. and also, i think rivals might like what hoke has done, as well. right now UM would have the 3rd best star avg of the big ten teams (including nebraska), and its apt to raise as the likelier remaining committs are 4 stars, i believe. and the recruits we're getting now arent holding offers from only mac schools, like RR's sometimes were prone.
17 now, i think we'll finish with 22.
