Notes Full name Capers Stokes Jr. Twitter. Film: Senior Highlights: Hudl. Finding a guy to jump in this class when Blake Corum has at least another year of college and Donovan Edwards has at least two was going to be a challenge. But like linebacker, Michigan this cycle seemed to be constantly chasing other teams for their top targets despite adding Mike Hart to the staff in time to be part of that whole cycle. Hart had some of his own ideas, and one of them was this kid born to play for the South Carolina Gamecocks. He grew up around the program, went to high school with the coaches' kids, and then his own HC was hired as the new staff's TE coach. Never one to stop trying despite appearances, Hart wiggled into Stokes's recruitment in time to hold off a Mizzou commitment, then churned away until Stokes pledged to the Blue in June. That still meant surviving the new South Carolina staff's late charge to hold onto the hometowner. But it was too late. Not only did Stokes use last fall to Michigan-brain himself as deeply as my 15-year-old nephew. He also transformed himself into an entirely different recruit. When people talked about 15-year-old Stokes, it was his freshman track times and wondering aloud how fast the 40 will be at his next camp. By Early Signing Day, people were speaking excitedly about his one-cut acceleration, calling him a "bruiser" and praising his want-to. His signing press conference went viral. He's not 5'6". But this 3-star put up 1,000-yard seasons against low competition, flew under the radar despite a local school coming after him late, and—oh you get it, Mike Hart made him into Mike Hart.

One of the things we track with recruiting, especially with players who get ranked early, is where the rankings move from there. There's always gravity downward as the cycle reveals more guys worthy of high rankings, but previous rankings tend to be sticky. That means going up usually means they didn't go up far enough, and vice versa, while stagnant slippage is taken to mean no change unless the total slip takes a guy from top-50 to well out of it. When that happens, either they overrated a guy early and don't want to say so, or else the guy got injured, and therefore had no chance to defend his rank. Thus was the case of Tyler Morris, en route to five-stardom, or near enough, through a sophomore campaign of 1700 total yards of offense and 24 touchdowns plus a full winter of camp obliteration. Then his 7v7 and summer camp tours were canceled by the pandemic. His junior season was delayed until the following spring, by which point his quarterback, JJ McCarthy, had bolted to IMG. That suppressed Nazareth's passing attack and forced them to use Morris in other ways, in addition to safety. It was on defense, at the very end of his Spring 2021 campaign, that Morris tore his ACL, canceling another summer of camps and his entire senior season. The rankers didn't wait around, but nor did they forget. Morris was the 2nd-highest recruit in Michigan's class when he committed, and remained so until Moore, Sabb, Clemons, and Berry joined near Singing Day. But that wasn't the expectation. We were bracing for a charge up the ranks, followed by a clash between academics not seen since Newton vs. Leibniz. Except both Michigan and Notre Dame knew they needed to wrap this up before an OSU or A&M or Bama decided they couldn't leave a top-25 talent to some cathelopistemiad that's going to waste good football hours on scholarly pursuits. Instead, Morris's last year in high school would be spent healing, rehabbing, and watching the finds from lost seasons slip ahead of him. On3 moved him *up,* but only to still come out well below the other three. What should have been a triumphant announcement, perhaps coming down to the wire, literally limped in on crutches. That's unfortunate because if you could design the ideal Harbaugh wide receiver recruit from scratch, you'd probably get Tyler Morris. And Michigan certainly acted like it the entire cycle, from Gattis seizing on JJ McCarthy's favorite target with as much zeal as the rest of the program seized on McCarthy himself, to acting like A&M might be lurking around the corner any minute right up to Signing Day. As far as they were concerned, what Devin Bush Jr. was to "solving your problems with aggression," Morris was to Gattis's plans for #SpeedinSpace. Gattis is gone, but his philosophy remains deeply embedded in the offense. While fans like me still covet the long-limbed jump-ballers who wear #1 or #4, the program has spent the last three seasons gearing its passing game around athletes who will lose any cornerback who doesn't have inside help, and make fools out of the help. The trick to these guys, who tend to lead their teams in targets (but not TDs) is the hardest thing to scout, a natural understanding of routes and how to take advantage of space inside the coverage bubble. And yet all we have since 2019 is some 7v7 tape and a condensed junior year in the spring of 2021, half of that on defense. So, [After THE JUMP: Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value the may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder.]

Notes AA Bowl. WR MVP of NPCIS. Film: Senior Highlights: Hudl. Half of Jr year in Utah. The recruiting momentum of beating Ohio State, winning the Big Ten, and making the playoffs could not have been halted better. One morning we all woke to find Harbaugh so interested in the NFL he was willing to ride with Kirk Cousins over Cade and JJ McCarthy. Josh Gattis was so stunned he slipped out the side door to Coral Gables. Harbaugh returned, the receiver room got future Michigan head coach Ron Bellamy in consolation, and they gave the fans a televised, competitive spring game. But a lot of Michigan fans were, and remain livid about the whole affair. "What," they asked, "do we get for 2021 now?" The question is a fair one, but there is an answer. Unsubtle as only Jim Harbaugh trying to be subtle can be, Michigan put a circle on their answer, then spent the whole spring game trying to shoving it in your face. Not everyone was buying it, and not everyone was aware of the plan—looking at you, DJ Turner and Jalen Perry. Desperate to get the message across, Harbaugh dispatched his best hype man and the shortest, slowest, whitest cornerback on the roster, then took a selfie. This. This was the reward.

Notes UA All-American. Twitter. Early Enrollee. Film: Senior Highlights: Hudl. Play of the week. The best Pixar film since their acquisition is debatable, but Coco makes enough of the lists that I think it can serve for some consensus. It is a brilliant film, gorgeous, deep, and almost perfect except for one unfortunate uncanny valley (Spoiler Alert). See, for much of the movie this kid who's traversing the Land of Dead is doing so wearing skeleton facial paint to disguise the fact that he, unlike all the rest of this realm, still has his muscles and flesh. And you're thinking: Did none of these (ex-) people watch sports? Sport fan brains are wired to tell how much meat a player carries on his bones if nothing else. Swap Steve Breaston's jersey for Jason Avant's, and you'd still have to get 100 rows back to fool anybody. The latest moment like this was in Michigan's spring game. Nobody had seen Amorion Walker, the early enrolled wide receiver from the sandal gap of Louisiana, and nobody seemed to have accurate rosters of who was on maize or blue, but nobody who follows Michigan recruiting had trouble identifying #4. They would have known, for example, that ever since this Southerner whose catching radius has its own zip code had the best 40 time (4.41) and vertical (40 inches) at Bama's June 2021 camp, Michigan had worked extremely hard to pry Walker out of Notre Dame's class, and that Notre Dame everything short of abandoning their most hallowed tradition (losing to a mid-major school) to prevent it. They also might have known that Special Agent Ron Bellamy played for Walker's coach, that Sam Webb was alerted by the staff that they saw this as a 5-star recruitment, and he should get be on hand for the announcement on (early) Signing Day (Sam's second visit to see Walker). That everyone who saw Walker play apparently agreed with the two winningest schools with the nation's best scouting staffs, but couldn't bring themselves to rate the guy higher than 3 stars because he looks like a twig. Then the twig teleported past Will Johnson and settled in the soft spot in Cover 2. Okay, we see it. Now feed the boy. [After THE JUMP: Can we pay out NIL in meat?]

Notes Twitter. Instagram. Early enrollee. Film: Senior Highlights: Hudl (6 minute version of above. jr highlights). The Wolverine highlights. TMI interview. I have learned that most of you are not insane, and do not meticulously watch the entirety of these embedded highlight videos like I did when Brian did these writeups. If you feel guilty, I'll let you off the hook this time, because the above is over 23 minutes (much of it repeated footage) of the same. Colston Loveland is so vastly better than anyone else on the field, at 5 minutes you're wondering why the cornerback doing everything he was coached to do even bothers to stand there in the endzone (spoiler: at 5:33 he gives up). At 7 minutes they have him start running veers outside like he's Blake Corum, stiff-arming cornerbacks, and trundling for 60 yards. Then they show the same thing from another angle. Around 10, at some sort of camp, he throws an edge defender outside so his receiver can kick, gets to a safety, and removes that kid from the picture. At 15 there's a CB in man who glances at the QB and when he turns back to his quarry he discovers he's lost 7 yards. If you've ever wanted to test your personal empathy for the children of Idaho cheese mongers, it's when you're begging for it to stop. Loveland is about to face a steep rise in complexity and competition. He's going to have to put on weight, learn to block someone who won't crumple on impact, and sky over one, two, or five far more athletic defensive backs to repeat any of this. Interestingly, Michigan's (by which we mean Jay Harbaugh's) pursuit goes back to April 2020, most of a year before the "oh, he's a TIGHT END?!?" junior tape was recorded. Coming from Idaho in the pandemic class it took awhile for the tape to reach more eyes, but reach eyes it did. Alabama's interest was of the serious kind, as was LSU's, and a host of other power programs who tried to pry Loveland out of Michigan's grasp before and after he signed his letter of intent. His was a flash recruitment, but a national one nonetheless. He's only seen FBS-level competition in a few camps and the Michigan spring game, and too thin at this point to be more than a jumbo receiver, but Michigan's coaches have been adamant in public and private that they think he could contribute immediately. They designed one of many spring game double passes into go to him, and LB Kalel Mullings couldn't keep up any better than those Twin Falls grade schoolers. [After THE JUMP: Cruelty to spuds]

If there's one sure thing about Harbaugh, you really just have to take his word when it comes to tight ends. He had scores of them at Stanford. The first guy he recruited to Michigan was a dual-threat from Albuquerque. He pulled an unranked athlete out of Dudley, Massachusetts. He took a kid who was the third-best receiver on his team in Florida, the quarterback of Hamden Hall in Hamden, Connecticut, a camp offer from Ohio that Ohio State didn't want, an offensive tackle in Ohio, and a kid from Burke, VA, because he looked athletic at a Rivals camp. By 2020 the sites finally learned if there's a jump-baller in Massachusetts with a Michigan offer, that dude should be a 4-star. While Rivals was moving Lou Hansen into their top-100 on principle, Harbaugh had his people embedded with a German recently relocated to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, Georgia. Marlin Klein started watching football at 11, but didn't play it until 2016. He quickly discovered he was better at it than the other kids from the suburbs of Cologne, Germany, and came to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee in time to put up over 300 yards as a sophomore. The pandemic caught up to him a month later, and he was back in Cologne waiting it out while his Rabun Gap-Nacoochee coach emailed tape. Via the Daily's (and sometimes our) Ethan Sears, Michigan offered without seeing more. Klein made it to Ann Arbor in early fall, and committed a few weeks later, at which time this was his class: Klein is M's third commit for 2022, joining four-star DT Alex VanSumeren and four-star ILB Tyler Martin. That's about the last time there was any scouting on Klein. Then again, Michigan never wavered either. [After THE JUMP: Sure, why not?]
