Thankfully the transition from Hoke to Harbaugh is over, and the new staff can really focus their recruiting efforts on 2016 and beyond now. I fully expect Michigan to have a top-10 class at this time next year, and possibly a top-5 class. I'll be updating this thread whenever a new commit, in-state player, or realistic target comes on the scene.
2016 UM Commits
Fortunately for Michigan and MSU, it appears to be a very good year for in-state talent
2016 In-State Talent
2016 Out-of-State Targets (in progress)
There is an awful lot of talent on Michigan's board right now. They have like 100 offers out to 2016 kids, and I think I have about 30 above...but I didn't just cherry pick. Like 25 of them are listed as "Warm" or "Warmer" on 24/7, so they are all at least mildly interested.
