Mailbag question: The remainder of the scholarships to go too



*** This question was asked and answered before Christian Pace committed to Michigan.

We have 11 commits right now so where do you guys think we should look for the remainder of the scholarships to go too?

I figure we will at least go for 22 recruits and probably end up getting 25 when all said and done with players not coming back, some players not get in this year and 5th year guys not being asked back.

How many more on offense and what positions and how many on defense and what positions I know this is a lot of "what if'", but would like your guys take on it.

Do you guys count the spinner / hybrid positions differently then the DE or LB positions?

Thanks for the question.

Spinner and weak side linebacker are definitely different positions than the two inside linebackers. During practices they have different position coaches and different individual practice time. Coach Hopson has the inside linebackers while Coach Robinson has the spinner position.

By our count Michigan has seven offense, three defense, and one who could play either offense or defense among their commits.

We expect Michigan to add two to three offensive linemen and another running back and possible another quarterback for the offense. That leaves six to nine for the defense depending on how many scholarships they indeed hand out in the 2010 recruiting class.

On defense Michigan needs in our opinion two inside linebackers, two defensive linemen, and three more defensive backs. They also could use another spinner type athlete also in our opinion. If they go to a full class of twenty-five we could see them adding another defensive linemen and a defensive back to the list.
