A lot of moving down in this one. Mostly due to a couple of guys announcing they wouldn't be announcing until after or during the 2015 season. Since there isn't much, I'll start with the good news. Pryts got his 4th star and is even higher on PSU than he was before. I expect Zembiec to eventually get a 4th star also and there are a few other prospects that we are in on that could get a 4th eventually (Ball, Brown, Niang, Dalton). Dalton moved up to Very Good Chance as momentum is gaining on him becoming the TE recruit for this class, which means I've accepted that Angeline is not a lock and he is now all the way down to In The Battle (Still think there is a chance, but with scholarships I don't see how we can take 2 TEs). Moved Dioubate down one because he isn't deciding before 2015 starts. Moved Johnson down because he said December was when he'll most likely decide. Also didn't name us in his top schools when someone put him on the slot this weekend, but the context of the question wasn't mentioned so maybe he was steered. With a bunch of guys deciding late winning games becomes even more important. Gary has continued to dominate anyone who gets in his way not named Menet. Got to get him on campus again and have to win games to be in it. It's beginning to look like in 2016 we are going all in on 4* WRs Diggs, Nixon, and Smothers and if we miss we miss, because we have already offered a lot of 2017 WRs. This is ok since we got 6 talented WRs in the last two classes. I like that Franklin is offering a bunch of Michigan prospects since Harbaugh thinks he can just walk into PA, MD, or NJ and cherry pick recruits.

My opinion on where we stand with recruits based on rumors, where the coaching staff has made serious effort, offers, tweets (sometimes) and gut feeling. My categories(and their meanings) are Commit Watch (changed from Locks as to not offend recruiting gods), Very good chance(we sit very well with the recruit and are either the leader or perceived leader), In the Battle(We have a good shot and are equal to others or just slightly behind), Work left to do(there is another perceived leader or little information known on recruits intentions), Have to get really lucky(small chance to little to none).
