I'll preface this by saying, I'm not trying to draw direct comparisons between tOSU and TSUN recruiting. However, I was more interested by Hoke rushing commitments from recruits when many of those recruits he wasn't directly competing against another program. And I mean the "rush into commitments" from TSUN's perspective.
I feel that many of these current caliber of recruits wouldn't have typically been a TSUN recruit several years ago (e.g. at the height of Carr's regime). Several of their prospects don't directly fit the bill within a single position, and so I was curious as to whether Hoke's strategy of accepting so many early commitments is concerning or not, given that he could be waiting longer to evaluate directly many of these recruits in camps and senior seasons.

Given that Helmholdt is in charge of the Midwest rankings, I will wait until late summer before I even glance at their rankings.
Michigan is doing very well, I just see a lot of inflated rankings from Michigan targets. Taco and McCray are way too high. So is Burrows, honestly.

You'll rarely see Rivals move one of their early 5-stars down. They are just really entrenched and don't move/shake very much. I imagine Burrows stays a 5-star.

Seems like there are an awful lot of 4-stars out there in general right now. I find that odd considering that I've seldom if ever seen a player's star ranking reduced as time passes.

I think a general rule of thumb for Rivals is to hand out that 4-star 5.8 points evaluation to early commits to big-time programs and leave at that for the rest of time, it lets them be very lazy on the senior year and focus on the uncommitted guys. 4-star 6.0's will bump up to 5-star 6.1's and vice versa; 5.7's will go to 5.8's. But nothing big changes.

Rivals is terrible, IMO. Has been for years. Maybe a notch above e!spn. I'll take scout anyday.

Tressel was really good at locking up a class early was he not? The only player I can remember with any drama was TP for signing day. On one of Tressles last signing day interview he express how he liked to get his guys early, so he did not have to deal with the drama on the end of the season.
Hoke is getting kids that want to be at Michigan, towards end of Carr and all of RR I do think they recruited a few that did not want to be at Michigan.
Until they signed it really does not matter, Michigan could lose few of these kids and I expect them to lose a few.

you'd have to assume the remaining unranked guys would all be 4* or higher for that to hold true, and it's pretty much guaranteed that will not be the case.

True, but on the other hand Scout's ranking may not end up much different the Rivals. Point is, Michigan is putting together a fine class...period. Now, will be it as good as ours come NLOID? I'd like to think it won't...
