Brice's Recruiting Mailbag

Question: Hi Brice,
Thank you for this site! How many do you rthink we will take this year?
Can you ratein order of liklihood who those commits might be?

Thanks
Roger

Answer: I think we will take 24, which means there is only three spots left. Right now, I only feel like IL WR Laquon Treadwell is the only prospect I feel really good about being in this class.

Question: Good for you on site! I look all over for recruiting news. It's hard to find. What do you think of Deveon Smith? I don't see how you can be the #1 RB in Ohio and be any less than a solid 4 star. Thanks.

Answer: Well, many recruiting sites see OH RB DeVeon Smith differently. In my opinion, I see him being a perfect fit for this offense and being a work-horse back for us. He is so powerful and runs with angry that arm tackles just bounce off him. I really like him in this class and is one of my favorite commits.

Question: Brice,

Who do you see as our last three commits for this class or can you see it going even higher than the expected 24 to like 25-26? I don't know who we would end up losing but I have seen rumors starting that suggest that we may up the number to 25.

Answer: I still feel like IL WR Laquon Treadwell will end up in this class and I could see many others, but for right now he is the only one I feel comfortable to say that with. As for if this class could expand bigger than 24, I could see it possibly hitting 25, but I see it as unlikely currently.

Question: Brice Great job you are doing what is the latest information WR Laquon Treadwell do you think he goes
"BLUE" keep up the good work

Answer: Michigan is still in good position with IL WR Laquon Treadwell and it looks like his decision will come during the season. I think his official visit to Michigan will seal the deal, but we will just have to wait and see.

Question: Do you think the numbers of official visitors will be significantly lower this year than in years past since UM will official its 21 recruits plus LT maybe McQuay, Mathis and a couple others? So will there be fewer officials and will that save a significant amount of money for the program, or does it make no difference?

Answer: Great question and I think you might see less official visitors with the class almost filled up, but I don't think it will be significantly lower. Anything can happen in recruiting and I think you will see a lot of names pop up still. Prospects can become interested quickly, commit out of the blue, decommit, so all I am trying to say is recruit until you got all those Letter of Intents in.

Question: Brice With the Michigan BBQ coming up soon do you see Laquon Treadwell or any other top recruit committing

Answer: I really don't see IL WR Laquon Treadwell committing, but it is possible. I am guessing a lot of commits will be there and might give him a little incentive to go blue.
