Final Rivals 250 Released for 2012

Joe Bolden is the nation’s 111th-best player

Rivals released its Rivals 250 on Wednesday.  This comes on the heels of yesterday’s Rivals 100, which I discussed yesterday.  Here’s what it looked like in May 2011, August 2011, and then November 2011.

Michigan commits have made the following moves since November:

– Joe Bolden moved from #152 to #111
– James Ross dropped from #163 to #172
– Royce Jenkins-Stone dropped slightly from #182 to #184
– Amara Darboh dropped from #208 to #215
– Terry Richardson dropped from #217 to #224

There are still a couple weeks remaining to recruit class of 2012 kids, but at this point, Michigan has offered 115 of the top 250 (or 46%) players in the country.  During the last recruiting cycle, Michigan offered 84 of the top 250 players (or 33.6%).  Brady Hoke has sent out 190 reported offers this season, while Rodriguez (with a small dose of Hoke at the end) offered 195 kids in the 2011 recruiting class.  This supports my opinion that I’ve held since last spring that Brady Hoke is targeting a higher level of talent than Rich Rodriguez did during his tenure.

Here are the rest of Michigan’s 2012 offerees on the Rivals 250:

103. Aaron Burbridge – WR – Michigan (Michigan State)
105. Dillon Lee – LB – Georgia (Alabama)
111. Joe Bolden – LB – Ohio (Michigan)

138. Bri’onte Dunn – RB – Ohio (Ohio State)
147. Paul Thurston – OT – Colorado (Nebraska)
148. Evan Boehm – OG – Missouri (Missouri)
