The 2016 recruiting cycle is coming to the end which means the 2017 class is about to become the top priority for coaching staffs around the country. Luckily for Michigan, the momentum they have built on the trail and on the field should spill over into the junior class which could end up being one of the best in recent memory, especially when you look at how many top targets are listed in the latest 2017 Rivals100 rankings:
1. DT Marvin Wilson – Good
2. DE Joshua Kaindoh – Decent
3. OT Isaiah Wilson – Very Good
6. DB Lamont Wade – Good
17. OL Wyatt Davis – Good
20. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones – Very Good
22. QB Davis Mills – Decent
23. OT Foster Sarell – Good
26. LB Jarez Parks – Decent
27. DE AJ Epenesa – Decent
32. RB D’Andre Swift – Decent
33. LB Drew Singleton – Very Good
35. ATH Devon Hunter – Low
36. RB Anthony McFarland – Decent
40. WR Joseph Lewis – Decent
45. DB Deangelo Gibbs – Decent
55. RB Toneil Carter – Low
61. ATH Nathan Tilford – Low
63. CB Stanford Samuels – Low
64. DB Leommodore Lenior – Decent
65. ATH Malcolm Askew – Low
71. WR Nico Collins – Good
79. DE Chase Young – Decent
84. DE Luiji Vilain – Decent
88. RB Cordarrian Richardson – Decent
89. DT Fred Hansard – Good
95. LB Jordan Anthony – Low
97. ATH Greg Johnson – Decent
98. LB David Adams – Decent
Out of the names listed above, I believe Michigan has a real shot at 9 of the recruits. That would obviously give them one of the best classes in the country.
