Michigan Football: 2009 Michigan recruiting breakdown:

Recruiting Classes Breakdown:

2004 recruiting class: 5th year Senior (7)
2005 recruiting class: Senior or Red-shirt junior (13)
2006 recruiting class: Junior or Red-shirt sophomore (16)
2007 recruiting class: Sophomore or Red-shirt freshman (19)
2008 recruiting class: Freshman (24)
****Didn’t count walk-ons or guys that get one year scholarships yet

Have 11 people not returning with eligibility left for various reasons from 2008 roster:
2004 class: Adrian Arrington (NFL), Jeremy Ciulla, Brett Gallimore, Alex Mitchell, and Grant DeBenedictis (5)
2005 class: Antonio Bass, Mario Manningham (NFL), and Chris McLaurin (3)
2006 class: Quintin Patilla and Justin Boren (2)
2007 class: Ryan Mallett (1)

Recruiting list for 2009 season:

So if the numbers are correct come this fall we will have (79) players out of the allotted (85) scholarships this fall. Meaning we have (6) available scholarships for walk-ons this fall since we are not to the (85) total. We will lose (11) on scholarship that are either a 5th year senior or a senior.

That means Michigan will have at least (17) commits next year and probably a lot more. I can see several people possible leaving after this spring practices this year and I am sure several will not be back for the 2009 fall season. I can see some of the red-shirt juniors right now not asked to be back or will not return for their 5th year in 2009 season so that would raise the number already to (20) and I am sure by the time fall of 2009 arrives we will see at least three-five more people leaving to equal (23-25) kids. So I am thinking we go after another (25) kids for the 2009 recruiting class if we can find the right kids for the new program.

Coach Rod would have over half the team as his recruits counting the incoming 2008 freshman class and the 2009 recruiting class so he is putting his stamp on this program very quickly for the fall of 2009 football season.

So lets just say we can go after a full 25 recruits for 2009 class:

Offense Commits (4):
QB: Kevin Newsome
QB: Shavodrick Beaver
RB/Slot: Fitzgerald Toussaint
Slot/RB: Teric Jones

Defense Commits (3):
DT: Will Campbell
S/LB: Isaiah Bell
CB/S: Justin Turner

Well with seven commits already lets just say we can go after another 1o more kids easily. I know it seems that we are looking for another QB, but I don't really understand why at this point in time especially having so many QB's stacked so close together. So I will put another QB on the list, but if Forcier doesn't come in then I would suggest they go after either another WR or LB/S.

Offense:
QB: Kevin Newsome
QB: Shavodrick Beaver
QB:
RB:
RB/Slot: Fitzgerald Toussaint
Slot/RB: Teric Jones
