If Michigan had only had 25 spots instead of I believe 30 available, these are the guys likely not signing Letters of Intent:

 

1. Dytarious Jackson is unlikely to a part of the 2016 class for several reason (notice he hasn't signed his LOI yet).

2. Josh Metellus (S) or Devin Gil (S) - One oesn't keep an offer if Michigan doesn't have so much extra room.

3. Eddie McDoom (WR) or Nate Johnson (WR)- See above

4. Steven Spanellis (OL) - See above

 

 

So remove Jackson, Spanellis, Metellus or Gil and McDoom or Johnson. Let me know how that affects their overall rankings and average ranking. Michigan's overall recruit average right now is 89.45 on 247. Take out:

Jackson 83.76

Metellus 85.41

McDoom 87.94

Spanellis 85.43

 

A 4th grader would be able to look at that end tell you that the average would go up considering all 4 players are below the average.

 

 

Edit:

I just took those 4 players out using 247's calculator and they still have a top 10 class afterwards. Why? Because Michigan has quality in this class, not just quantity.
