Poll Results: Which February 18/19 commit will be best?

If readers of this blog are correct, Chris Fox will be one of the jewels of the class

A couple weekends ago, Michigan got commitments from eight 2013 commits.  Shortly afterward I posted a poll asking which of those eight would have the best career.  Since then Ohio’s Jaron Dukes and Pennsylvania’s Patrick Kugler have committed, too, so the fun never stops.  Here are the results of the poll:

Chris Fox: 20%
The Parker (CO) Ponderosa product could play just about anywhere on the line except center.  For such a thick kid, he’s an athletic kid who doesn’t have a problem staying low and getting leverage on opponents.  The 6’6″, 295 lb. Fox is ranked as high as #46 overall to Rivals.

Kyle Bosch: 19% (tie)
The Wheaton (IL) St. Francis lineman is 6’5″, 286 lbs. and projects to offensive guard for the Wolverines.  247 Sports thinks highly enough of him to rank him the #44 overall player in the country.

Logan Tuley-Tillman: 19% (tie)
The 6’7″, 304 lb. blindside tackle from Peoria (IL) Manual is the #85 overall player to 247 Sports.

Jake Butt: 13%
Butt is a 6’6″, 230 lb. tight end from Pickerington (OH) North.  He’s ranked as high as #96 overall to Rivals.

Taco Charlton: 10%
Charlton is a 6’6″, 240 lb. linebacker/defensive end from Pickerington (OH) Central.  His highest ranking comes from 247 Sports at #99 overall.

Jourdan Lewis: 7%
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech cornerback is a 5’11”, 170-pounder.  Rivals likes him best (so far) with his placement at #167 overall on the Rivals 250.

Wyatt Shallman: 5%
Novi (MI) Catholic Central running back Shallman is a 6’3″, 255 lb. athlete.  Rivals thinks he’s the 160th-best player in the nation.

David Dawson: 3%
Detroit (MI) Cass Tech offensive guard/center Dawson is the #199 player to Rivals.  He stands 6’5″ and weighs 305 lbs.

2013 Top 247 Update

Taco Charlton at #99 and Shane Morris at #14 are two of eight U-M commits in the top 247

Wyatt Shallman, Wolverine

Wyatt Shallman (with Tom VanHaaren)

Novi (MI) Catholic Central running back Wyatt Shallman committed to Michigan on Saturday.  Once again, I wrote up a scouting report on Shallman several weeks ago, so feel free to follow the link for my thoughts on him.

Ratings:
ESPN: Unranked
Rivals: 4-star ATH, #160 overall
Scout: 4-star DE
247 Sports: 4-star, 92 grade, #9 SDE, #181 overall

Shallman has insisted that he is being recruited to Michigan as a tailback, and I won’t call him a liar.  However, I am not too enthusiastic about Shallman’s abilities as a runner.  I do think he has the ability to make an impact in college like former Purdue fullback Mike Alstott, but I don’t think he’s the type of runner who can be a feature back in the Big Ten.  Michigan still needs to pursue a big-play back who can be the type of kid to run the ball 15-20 times a game.  I would prefer to see Shallman used as a fullback/H-back type player.
