There are two big fish left on the board for the Wolverines in WR Nico Collins and DT Aubrey Solomon and based on conversations with multiple people familiar with the situation, Michigan is in excellent shape to get some good news from both on Wednesday.
Mekhi Becton is the wild card right now. It seems the staff is optimistic about their chances with him, but nobody can really put a finger on where he is leaning. Because of that, I decided not to include him in this final list.
The Wolverines should end with having the fourth-ranked class in the nation behind Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama.
