How will the 2016 class finish?

Paramus (NJ) Catholic DT Rashan Gary

One of readers’ favorite questions is: What are your predictions for the rest of the class? While it’s always a fluid situation, and predicting the decisions of high schoolers is a bit of a fool’s errand, I am nothing if not a fool. So here’s my look at the current recruiting class and who could end up filling some additional spots.

The number for each position represents how many players I believe will end up in the class at that position.

QUARTERBACK: 1
Current commits:

Brandon Peters
Predicted commits: None

RUNNING BACK: 3
Current commits: Kingston Davis, Chris Evans, Kareem Walker
Predicted commits: None

WIDE RECEIVER: 5
Current commits: Dylan Crawford, Brad Hawkins Jr., Nate Johnson, Ahmir Mitchell
Predicted commits: Eddie McDoom, Donald Stewart

Hit the jump for my predictions for the rest of the class.

If I Had My Druthers . . . 2016 Wide Receivers

Mecole Hardman

This is the order in which I would rank the uncommitted wide receivers Michigan has offered. Star rankings don’t matter, the likelihood of a commit doesn’t matter, etc. These rankings are purely based on my ideal team:

1. Mecole Hardman – ATH – Elberton (GA) Elbert County:
Hardman isn’t a pure receiver. He might end up at cornerback at the next level, and he’s not very big at 5’10”, 171 lbs. If he were to get polished up as a receiver, though, he could be a big-time player. He also has value as a kickoff and punt returner.

2. Nate Craig-Myers – WR – Tampa (FL) Catholic:
There’s no question that Craig-Myers is big, strong, and fast at 6’2″, 210 lbs. and with a 4.4 forty. He could probably even play running back with his build. There have been some reported issues with drops and a lack of concentration at times, so he may not be a guy who can star right away in college. But with a year or two of development, he could round into a college standout.

3. Demetris Robertson – ATH – Savannah (GA) Christian: 
Another player who could end up at a few different positions, Robertson is 6’0″, 172 lbs. He’s maybe not as shifty or agile as Hardman, but both are similar prospects with very good speed.

Hit the jump for the rest of the list.
