To be fair no kid born during or after covid has seen OSU beat Michigan so all good.
And ND does not get a chance every year

My wife used to get dragged to the Bingo hall by her mother when she was a teen. She has a saying now, based on that experience.
When she is trying to describe how terrible a smell is, she’ll say “It’s almost as bad as the ladies bathroom at the bingo hall.”

On paper yes, but Nico was not Nico, DPJ was alright, and Black transferred

Black couldn’t stay healthy which led to his transfer. He just felt he needed a change of scenery. Nico wasn’t Nico?? Would you believe that Justin Jefferson wasn’t Justin Jefferson when he first go to LSU??

You might want to re-read what he wrote. He didn’t say anything about Nico getting better at Michigan, he basicaly had the same stats his last 2 years…which combined still didn’t amount to JJ’s final season stats at LSU.
Simpy, Nico is a much better NFL player than he was a college player.

No need to re-read it because I don’t disagree with him. I am just pointing out that JJ wasn’t JJ either when he first got to LSU. According to 247 recruiting site JJ was a 3 star coming out of high school . Nico Collins was a 4 star…thats my point. & I can almost guarantee that any slow development from Nico or any of the Michigan WRs during that time was subpar QB play. JJ had no such issue at LSU.

# Sherrone Moore’s Michigan football recruiting heater matches the best of Jim Harbaugh
Full article at link
=====
U-M’s 2025 class checked in at No. 5 in the nation, the program’s highest-rated class since 2017 (also No. 5), which featured players such as Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cesar Ruiz, Ambry Thomas, Nico Collins and Kwity Paye.
“The No. 1 thing is coach Moore, he is an elite recruiter,” U-M defensive line coach Lou Esposito said of the recent surge. “And it’s weird for me because I’m seeing it from a different angle now because of my son (Louis Esposito). He’s been offered by Michigan and you know, over break when we were away on vacation, I mean he got texted by a Michigan coach every single day, and I think that’s unique.”
While it remains to be seen who will make the largest impact in 2025, there’s little doubt about the crown jewel: Bryce Underwood, the top-ranked player in the country, from nearby Belleville.
Already, he has become a key tool to influence future classes.
“I see it as more of like the best players want to play with the best players,” Underwood told the Free Press in June. “I’m blessed to be part of the people they say are the ‘best players’ so just the hard work I’ve been putting in.”
DIVE DEEPER: What a private throwing session looks like with Bryce Underwood
Michigan’s 2026 class is No. 7 in the nation in 247 Sports’ composite rankings, after a torrid stretch to end June and begin July. In 14 days from June 22-July 5, Michigan landed an astounding 11 players.
Eight of those players — defensive linemen Carter Meadows, Titan Davis and Julian Walker, wideouts Zion Robinson and Travis Johnson, defensive backs Andre Clarke Jr. and Dorian Barney and offensive lineman Malakai Lee — are four-star recruits and among the top 200 prospects in the country, per 247.
==========
“Everyone thinks (Michigan landing players) its all about NIL, but when you deal with NIL, everybody is throwing money at them,” Esposito said. "What’s going to separate you − there are some kids, don’t get me wrong, they’ll go to the highest dollar. … But most kids want to have a relationship with you.
“So, what’s going to separate you? That ‘block M’ is the largest living alumni base in the world, when you get people who understand that … you want them to go for the dollar, not the dime. It’s about 40 years, not just four.”
As far as the current heater, the Free Press on June 17 identified five recruits at the top of U-M’s radar. Three have since committed, all to the Wolverines. U-M appears to be in the mix for the remaining two: running back Savion Hiter and linebacker Anthony Davis Jr.
U-M is tracking to land consecutive top-10 classes for the first time since 2019-20. If the Wolverines’ 2026 group climbs one spot, into the top six, it will be the first time for U-M with back-to-back top-six classes since 2012-13 (under coach Brady Hoke).
