How To Close The 2013 Recruiting Class?

Just wanted to do a quick post on who I think the last couple spots go two in 2013.  There are many who place the scholarship limit at 24 for 2013, which leaves 1 spot.  However, I think that with these pending offseason issues, the potential for depth losses, and the chance of someone entering the NFL Draft early, I think the class will probably have 25 recruits.


The conceived options are WR Laquon Treadwell and RB Derrick Green.  These two guys are among the best at their respected positions and if one pulls the trigger before the other, I can't possibly see the coaches turning the other one away.  These kids are both top notch and have high interest in the Wolverines. I think the more likely of the two to commit first would be Treadwell even though he has a pending visit to Oklahoma State.  Derrick Green is visiting for the bbq, but I don't possibly see him pulling the trigger so soon in the process.  Still plenty of time for him to make up his mind.. 

Previewing Big Ten Football: Penn State

It wasn't a coincidence that I'm doing the preview for PSU this week. I know in light of recent events things have been difficult in Happy Valley, but there will be football. I've heard a lot of media coverage involving Freeh Report, and many analysts give their opinions. I'm not going to go into that here. I will say though, that for those who think Penn St deserves a football ban, they are way off base.   Let's concentrate solely on football.
