God I love a commitapalooza.  It also feels like Harbaugh and the coaches are more dialed in on scouting (or at least player development) than they were in their early years.  Definitely more than Hoke and RR.   Though Hoke didn't leave the cupboard bare, or at the very least the defense was loaded.   I feel good about the 3* guys these days. Especially OL 3*s.   Definitely want the 4 and 5* players, but I "trust the coaches."

You nailed it with player development - I truly believe this is the area that UM clearly shines over OSU - especially on DEFENSE. Here's the 247 Team Roster talent from 2022 and the top 3 were Alabama, Georgia and OSU - no one else is close to those three including UM but yet we've smoked them the last 2 years.

Basically, it comes down to our coaching staff dwarfing theirs. I know we're all having fun with our recent recruiting - especially pulling Marshall out of Ohio - but they're going to get theirs. Supposedly, they're close to picking up a commitment from a top 5 2024 RB named Peoples out of Texas in the next couple of weeks - big deal. Wanna bet Marshall ends up being the more productive CF back when all is said and done?

I'm ready for our beatdown of OSU in 2023 in AA.

6' 7" and 315 lbs. That's already massive!!! Wait until he gets his muscles toned.

That's a starting forward on a basketball team!!!!!!!

Opposing coaches, to paraphrase a former Michigan coach, will say:

Michigan's linemen can eat peanuts off of the heads of our DL.

Welcome aboard to the NEW BIG BEN!!!!!!

Gotta believe Cole and Jordan can't wait to run behind his blocking.

NOTE: 4 of the top 12 players in Ohio this year have committed to Michigan. 7 of those 13 players are still uncommitted. Don't know how many more are offered or would be a good fit for Michigan, but it feels good to walk into Ohio and start getting THEir top kids.

Yeah, it is a little baffling how these OSU OLs are so highly regarded, both as recruits and draft prospects, but don't seem all that impressive when you watch them play. I'm hesitant to call them soft, which I think is a cliche that's way overused, but yeah, they kind of play soft. Hopefully we can make it three in a row this fall...
