Michigan has snagged 19 total commitments so far for the class of 2010 and I'll show you who they are, and how good they are. (There are 5 total stars that they can get.)
Quarterback: class of 2010 is looking good!
Guys to watch: Devin Gardner.
Devin Gardner (picture up top #7) 6-4 195 lbs 4 star scrambling quarterback from Michigan. He was highly ranked after his junior season being ranked 187th best player in the nation; but there were some concerns about his throwing motion because he threw side armed. However he worked really hard over the summer to try to fix his mechanics and BAM! Now he's ranked the 53rd best player in the nation and the top dual threat quarterback in America! Since Tate Forcier is just a year ahead of his I bet that he redshirts his freshmen year.
Cornelius Jones 6-2 192 lbs 3 star scrambling quarterback from South Carolina. He was off the radar for most college teams because last year was his first year at quarterback. He did excellent considering that and the fact that his team is horrible. He sent a video of one of his games to Michigan and then Michigan responded by offering him. He's a dark horse next to Gardner but if it doesn't work out then he can always switch positions.
Running back: Trying to get one more great one.
Guys to watch: Austin White and Stephen Hopkins.
Tony Drake 5-9 170 lbs 3 star running back from Texas. He was offered by Michigan and other schools despite not even starting last year being behind a super star! For Michigan he might turn into a slot receiver since Michigan is loaded at running back. But he might be the rare Mike Hart who was a low 3 star coming out of high school. I believe that he's going to be turned into a slot receiver but who knows anything can happen.
Stephen Hopkins 6-0 235 lbs 3 star running back from Texas. He was a surprise offer from Michigan because none of Rich Rodriguez's previous offenses had use of big running backs. So I'm really excited to see Hopkins trucking people like Brandon Minor has been doing. He's surprisingly fast for his size running a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash. I've shown you some highlights of him on the blog so check it out.
Austin White (Picture Top #23) 6-0 186 lbs 3 and 4 star (depending where you look.) running back from Michigan. I'm honestly really excited for White to come to Michigan, he has really good hands in the back field. There has been some talk about him going to slot but I doubt that Michigan would do that. He is like a combination of Minor and Brown from Michigan where he can truck you and can run for long runs but isn't as good at either of those than them.
Wide receiver: Great looking class!
Guys to watch: Ricardo Miller and Jeremy Jackson
Jeremy Jackson 6-3 194 lbs 3 and 4 star wide receiver from Michigan. Jackson is son of current Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson which is clear when you see Jeremy's rout running. Jeremy is definitely a possession receiver due to his lack of speed. Don't be surprised if Jackson switches to tight end when he comes to Michigan I believe that he'll excel at tight end.
Ricardo Miller 6-2 208 lbs 4 star wide receiver previously from Florida now from Michigan. Ricardo was the highest ranked wide receiver coming before he moved to Michigan but the high school talent is better in Florida than here so he went down in rankings. But you guys better watch out a lot of people are thinking that he might be the next Michigan receiver to wear the legendary #1 jersey. With people saying that I've got to say that I'm really pumped for Miller!
Jerald Robinson 6-2 175 lbs 4 star wide receiver from Ohio. He was one of Michigan's first commitments and a lot of people thought that he was an Ohio State lock but man were they wrong! I don't really know too much about Robinson so I'll try to update as soon as possible.
D.J. Williamson 6-1 172 lbs 3 star wide receiver from Ohio. Williamson has connections to Michigan which is part of the reason for the scholarship. He is under ranked due to his horrible quarterback of last year which made his statistics and his rank fall. D.J. has the "X" factor with his 4.4 40-yard dash time its extremely hard to catch him. Hopefully his hands will develop with great coaching.
Drew Dileo 5-10 175 lbs 3 star wide receiver from Louisiana. Drew Dileo is a kick return specialist which should be pretty good. I don't know too much about Dileo except that he might end up being a slot receiver and that he is really good at returning punts.
Offensive Linemen: We desperately need more.
The only one to watch: Christian Pace
Christian Pace 6-3 262 lbs 3 or 4 star linemen from Ohio. Christian Pace is basicly a beast a good catch for Michigan. He's a center so he'll probably end up replacing Molk when he graduates. He could very possibly move up in rankings. He's currently ranked the 7th best center in the nation.
