I don't know about others but we still have 6 1/2 months until 2013 NLOID so I thought I would start a 2014 recruiting thread.
Orlando Brown Jr. OL 6'9" 276 lbs.
He is visiting Ohio State today. Had planned to visit Michigan sometime this weekend but cancelled those plans. I do not know why he cancelled but hopefully it's a sign of him not wanting to go to Michigan.
He attends the same high school as Heyward and Roby in Georgia.

No...many of the Michigan coaches will not be in this weekend, so there is no reason to go. Brown is trying to reschedule right now.
His interest in Michigan remains.

Thanks.....I was hoping because he had no interest. Oh well, I'm sure not only Michigan and Ohio State battling on this one but Bama, Georgia and all the other SEC powers.

It's kinda of crazy to think Urban finished off the 2012 class with a bang, 2013 is off to a great start, 2014 is already being talked about and he still hasn't coached a real game at Ohio State yet.

It would be nice to snatch a few 2014 commits at FNL to get the ball rolling, preferably Raekwon

Is FNL open to the public? That would be interesting to see but being a camp I'm sure it's closed to the public.

Yep, he's another slot along with Marshall. Looks like Gibson will be on the outside looking in.

Top notch DL and DB's, now we need to build up our LB's. We are very high on 3 of the best for 2014.
Raekwon McMillan - GA
Clifton Garrett - IL
Dante Booker - OH
I am sure ttun has offers to all. Clifton would be the one that worries me going to them as they are getting quite the pipeline from Illinois.

The only LB from that list that Michigan has offered at this point is Booker.
Keep in mind that our 2012 and 2013 LB classes have been VERY good...so the 2014 class will be very choosy and probably limited.
Additionally, it looks like at this point it's just a matter or time before 2014 Ohio LB Michael Ferns commits to Michigan, so there is a spot taken right there.
We've offered Ferns (and lead), Booker, Kevin Crosby from South Carolina and Joseph Henderson from Ohio as well. (who could maybe be seen as a DE. He's listed as a DE on Scout but listed as a LB offer on that board so I'm not sure)
Not to mention that Deon Drake from Cass Tech is also a distinct possibility. THAT should be interesting because as you may know Cass Tech is a big feeder school to Michigan but Drake might not be at the top of our list of LBs and MSU has already offered him...and Sparty would LOVE to get a toe hold at Cass.

Looks as if Meyer has been trying to get into Cass Tech too.
I agree on your LB assestment. Like Ohio State's DL for 2014, we will probably be very choosey.
It never ends, 2012 season hasn't even started, 2013 recruiting we haven't even come close to enjoy what those players can do and we are already worried about 2014 too.
By the way, is there a website to get Michigan recruiting info for free? i use Buckeyeplanet for Buckeye stuff but I'm never really sure who Michigan is going after strong that maybe the Buckeyes have no interest.

Every school in the country is trying to get in on Cass Tech. Cass is cranking out D1 players at a rate that makes even Glenville look small potatos. They've got something like 12 kids on their roster right now with D1 offers.
Try www.mgoblog.com for free michigan recruiting info. It's kind of like 11warriors but on steroids.

The OSU class could be scary good. I think we lead for Raekwon though he states it's tied between us and UGA. Him and Garrett are good friends and I saw them all chatting it up at FNL. Garrett has MSU over us (for now) but i dont see that staying that way. We lead for Booker and I expect us to eventually land him

Not sure where Redskin was going with that one? Anyway, both 2013 and 2014 will be tops. The defensive speed is going to be incredible. I just think back to what Florida did to us on the defensive side of the ball and can't wait to see us doing that to the rest of the B1G.

Where I was going with this was to point out the rediculous comments that were being made about OSU's 2013 class after Meyer's hire. Predictions of the number one class in the country and all sorts of crazy things. OSU will have a good class this year but it wont meet the rediculous expectations.
It makes me smile to remember all those claims and then see Michigan sitting on top of a hill OSU cant climb

Because you've never made any ridiculous comments? "Hello pot, this is kettle, you're black".
For Meyer only being coach since November, he's done pretty well with his recruiting so far, especially the way he ended the 2012 class. I can only imagine what it's going to be like as time goes on...
Yep, that's right.

I look at this 2 ways. Yes Michigan has an awesome 2013 class coming in but a lot of those players were "committed" prior to camps, workouts, etc. Yes they had all the creditals but Meyer took a more of a wait and see approach. Anyway you slice it, both schools did what they had to do. Michigan needed to make a "splash" back into recruiting after RichRod so they targeted every top prospect they could. Ohio State having more talent and coach getting a late start was more deliberate.....imo. Now years to come both will be equals on talent so Michigan will probably be more selective like Ohio State.

Michigan gets a big committment last night. LB/TE Michael Ferns out of St. Clairsville, Ohio.
I give Hoke credit, he knows to win he has to be solid in Ohio. Something DickRod never did.

My guess is coach Meyer and his staff have to be impressed with the splash Brady Hoke has made with his 'get it out there early and often'.
Perhaps that's why Urban seems to be more aggressive early on for the 2014 class.

Ferns is a huge committment for Michigan not just on the field. He's a sure fire 4* according to Trieu on scout and he's likely a top 5 player in the state of Ohio for 2014. Hoke is beating Meyer for top level Ohio talent and that's a big deal. You buckeye fans can spin this anyway you want but the Michigan invasion into the state of ohio is a major problem. Meyer seems to be unable to stop it either.
5* OT Kalis
5* S Thomas
4* DE- Stroebel
4* DE- Wormley
4* DE Charlton
4* TE Butt
4* LB Bolden
4* TE/OL Williams
4* S Wilson
4* LB McCray
4* LB Ferns
4* LB Geodon
4* RB Smith
4* CB Conley
4* WR Dukes
That's the top end talent that Michigan has pulled out of ohio in the in the last two classes plus Ferns. If your a buckeye fan that's a major major problem in the making.

Not many on that list Ohio State was after without them earning it first. You can spin it anyway you want to Redskin. Majority of that list had non-committable offers from Ohio State. The players other than Kalis and Thomas had offers that they had to earn. Non of the above wanted to wait and earn a Buckeye scholarship. That's the bottom line. The only position from Ohio that you took from us that may hurt down the line is LB.
I love how you are making it like Hoke is "stealing" all the above recruits from Meyer. Reality, only a handful would of had tOSU committable offers.

Don't get me wrong.....impressive list. Hoke knows to win he's going to have to recruit Ohio strong. Something DickRod didn't seem to understand.

Not to get into your debate, but just to correct this:
Kalis, Thomas, Wormley, McCray, Strobel, Smith, and Gedeon all had/have offers from OSU. Ferns very likely would have had he not told Urban not to bother because he just didn't like the big city feel of C-Bus and ruled OSU out as a result.
Now, that's just to clarify that. I personally couldn't give two craps whether OSU offered them or not. For one thing a lot of those kids had MAJOR offers from other schools outside of Michigan and OSU anyways...
But even more to my point is there was a time when an OSU offer meant something big especially on defense. OSU did defense like no other and their staff (with Tress) knew defensive talent...etc. Those days are gone to me...as far as an OSU offer meaning more than a Michigan offer in regards to the potential of a kid.
Greg Mattison is JUST as good as anybody on OSU's defensive staff and arguable better. Additionally, our defensive staff as a whole is much improved IMHO over the RichRod and even later Carr years.
So, OSU didn't offer. Who gives a crap? (not meaning that to sound so harsh, just trying to make a point). I don't mind that at all. Our coaches are excellent talent evaluators and know what they want. I couldn't care less what OSU coaches think.
