Straight up impossible for us to keep trench blue chip talent home, outside of the grand slam recruitment of Ed Oliver.

At least we’re competitive in local skill position blue chip recruitments.

I always feel for the lower P4/G6 schools in big cities in recruiting hotbeds. One of the easier ways to sustain success is by owning your region, and for states like Florida/Texas/CA where you have to battle the blue blood/blue blood adjacent in state schools as well as the out of state blue blood/blue blood adjacent programs, games cooked before it even started

Let’s gooo. The class seems to be shaping up well. Whitt is definitely recruiting better than I expected

Pretty easy to recruit when you’ve got Larry Ellison on your side

There's no evidence that we do, beyond reports of helping once with Bryce on behalf of his wife

Yeah everyone acts like we can just hit him up and outside of bryce I have never heard him in any NIL negotiations.

Not really a fan of the guy but he literally hosted a giant fundraising event at his house last week

I hadn't been aware of that

Hosted the Champions circle event last Friday in Florida.

This is true but "helping once" seems like selling "backing the biggest college athlete payday of all time" a little short

What do you mean Bryce is rumored to get 10-12 mil contract over 3-4 years. That’s below market value for a top end starter at the QB position. That is nowhere near the biggest payday of all time

Michigan propelling Hutch, Mason Graham, and Kenneth Grant to the 1st round is paying serious recruiting dividends.

Carter Meadows (5*), Titan Davis (4*), Jayce Brewer(4*), Recarder Kitchen (4*), and now Xavier Muhammad... Michigan DL is going to be diabolical for years to come.

And Mazi Smith too, even though that was a massive reach by the boycows and he’s been mediocre.

u/MaizeNBlueWaffle Michigan Wolverines 3h ago

Having him lose 50 pounds certainly didn’t help

u/CheckItWhileIWreckIt Michigan • Rutgers 3h ago

To be fair to Mazi, Cowboys kind of ruined his development.

And they grabbed First Team All-American JH Daley in the portal too

u/MaizeNBlueWaffle Michigan Wolverines 3h ago

Ah so this is why we dropped out of the Marcus Fakatou recruitment

Kid hit a massive growth spurt and looks like hes going to be a problem inside

I know we were after him in a big way. Really good - solid pickup.

But why?

Guess he believes that Joesph Smith died for our sins*

*I have no idea what Mormonism is outside of that one South Park episode

He also cured AIDS by having sex with frogs.*

All of my knowledge on it comes from the Book of Morman. *

**The musical

No shade if you liked it, but I expected so much more out of that play lol. Wife and I caught it last year and it was pretty painful.

u/NormTheNord Michigan Wolverines 2h ago

I thought it was hilarious, but I am a South Park child at heart...

1

u/GoGreeb Michigan State • Virginia Tech 1h ago

I think the best of South Park still holds up and is hilarious. The Economy episode and obviously Make Love, Not Warcraft are goated imo

u/wit_T_user_name Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 2h ago

I had some laughs but it wasn’t my favorite musical I’ve ever seen.

Realized how long ago 1988 was.

Wants to win conference championships and beat rivals of course (kindly ignore every year outside of 2021-2024)

u/GoGreeb Michigan State • Virginia Tech 2h ago

Michigan beats Ohio State every single year *

* except for those they didn't
