Nah. We had Marshall Applewhite and an abortion clinic bomber, though. So we got that going for us.

Michigan's 2024 recruiting class is now ranked at 15th in the nation. Tied with Stanford for the most commits.
How far will they drop? There's still nearly 5 months left before the first signing period. 20th or lower?
From the article: Michigan is tied with Stanford for the most commits in the nation, but the average ranking of its verbal pledges now ranks outside the top 15.
If they want a NC or a B1G Championship, and a win over OSU, they better do it this year, because in 2024 and beyond, that door slams shut for a long time."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

That’s not ranked 15th. Recruiting rankings combine total commits and avg ranking (more or less). They’ll finish around 8-12.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Or, outside the top 15, as the article says."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Liney, your recruiting class ranking only concerns your top 20-22 rated recruits. When M accepts a commitment from a 2-star it has zero effect on their recruiting ranking unless they could've given that scholarship to a higher-rated recruit who would've accepted their offer.
M's class at 8-12 is still very strong. I've more faith in M's coaching staff to identify, develop, and coach up his collection of 4-stars than most any coaching staff on M's schedule. That wasn't the case till John Harbaugh started helping Jim fill out his coaching staff regularly. M can also add to their class if needed via the transfer portal.Comment

This ...... and I like the suggestion that John Harbaugh has been assisting Jim in filling out his coaching roster. I won't quibble with the notion of the importance of 5* impact players - the ones who actually pan out - on any team advancing through the season and accessing the CFP. But Liney has, in part, taken a supportable position, that coaching and player development matters. How much it matters when you get to conference championships and CFPs is debatable with a nod to the number of impact players with game changing skills making a difference in how far you can advanceI've more faith in M's coaching staff to identify, develop, and coach up his collection of 4-stars than most any coaching staff on M's schedule. That wasn't the case till John Harbaugh started helping Jim fill out his coaching staff regularly. M can also add to their class if needed via the transfer portal.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Michigan’s class is perfectly reasonable to put them at the talent needed for the playoff. I think around #10 when all is said and done."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Those 5 stars are valuable and make a coach's job really easy. They become nearly required when you play a team like Georgia or Bama who have those caliber players at every position group but those two programs aren't on M's schedule.Comment

The key to winning a natty is having an elite QB (on a team with top 10 roster talent). Clemson won a couple because they had Watson and Barbie. Swap them out with Cade McNamara and… not so much.Comment

Mike,
I think there is some truth to that, but the check to it is a world class defense and an excellent run game.
Saban has won 6 national championships at Alabama. Three of those championships were QB’ed by NFL starter types (Mac Jones, Tua/Jalen Hurts) while the other half (AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and Jake Coker), not so much."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

That may be true, but they were no Craig Krenzel
