At the same time, he committed when there were plenty of edge kids in the class, he knew that coming in and was also the highest rated of them when he committed. The only one to commit since was Jacob Smith.

Michigan has a multitude of edge commits in this class. That is probably a factor in Rudolph flipping.
Wasn't Rudolph the second to last DE to commit? Also, it was definitely the bag lol

This makes perfect cents to some recruits.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
Not a big deal... easy come, easy go. All this does is clear a space for someone else who WANT to be a Wolverine.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
Yep - he’ll be replaced by another 3* we weren’t really after in the first place as our recruiting ranking nose dives.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:34 PM ^
Not surprising - with the violation stuff now on hold until 2024 recruits are reevaluating how long Harbaugh is gonna be around before he bolts to the NFL.
Harbaugh should of swallowed his ego - got the early season suspension put behind him and moved on. His I’m not serving a suspension attitude is gonna cost us recruits - the future is now more cloudy with Harbaugh’s privileged attitude.
More 3*’s are on the horizon thanks to Jim. Our class will be lucky to finish in the top 10 now and that’s all on Harbaugh.. We’re swinging and missing more than the Bad News Bears on the recruiting trail lately. Harbaugh is feeding coaches and recruiters ammo to flip kids and lose out on our top targets.

Kindly shut the fuck up.

I dare you to come up with one thing nice. Bet you're fun at parties.

I love that every single one of your posts seems to have a should/could/would of when most phones autocorrect “of” to “have”. Keep up the good work man.

I'm accepting the fact that this is what it is given the NIL era and our unwillingness to pay recruits upfront. And, I embrace this concept as it's just bad business. We've always done more with less as our player development is elite. But, I can only imagine what we can do with some these elite recruits we missed.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
Well that sucks, he was my favorite edge prospect in the class. He seems like the type who can really blow up and be big time.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
Better to lose these kids who are wishy washy now than in December.
Miami is dirty. If this kid is swayed by their bag of cash, then let Miami have him.
In the end, kids who follow the money aren't about THE TEAM but themselves. They are culture killers.
August 12th, 2023 at 9:15 PM ^
Wouldn’t be worried about that. If he wants to be at Miami, then let him go. You guys make your money on guys that want to be there, and I’m 99% sure OSU didn’t want him too. You guys will be fine without him.

This take is way too rational.
I propose we trade Michigan Realist for PeacefulBuck. We could even throw in Maizen to sweeten the deal.
All in favor?
August 13th, 2023 at 5:30 AM ^
Aye!
August 13th, 2023 at 10:08 AM ^
That's only 1 for 1, as I'm convinced that Michigan Realist is Maizen. Who else has that much negative energy laser-focused on recruiting?
But yes... In favor!

He flipped. I think this sucks as most of this summer did, recruiting wise. But unlike many schools, like Miami and Florida who are swooping in for recruiting wins, we're on the cusp of what we hope is a season of 15 actual wins. We want to recruits but I think the coaches and fans are gearing up for something special. Hopefully doesn't fall flat.
The season is here. Good luck to Miami and their empty stadium and struggle to be bowl eligible

The last 2 cycles Miami has struck out on all their primary DE targets so they throw a bag at a Michigan commit. Was super excited for Rudolph and thought he would be the perfect Herbert and Elston tag team recruit to turn him into something special, but if he's gonna commit to us then 1 month later flip after he gets a Miami bag then I think we're ok without him
