I don't think anybody thinks we can, over the breadth of our recruiting, match teams that have few constraints academically (lower admission standards, no JC, etc.). Nor do we oversign, or purge surprise low performers.
So it's always been about getting more out of what we have, and hopefully it always will be. Occasionally things will come together for an incredible run.
I'm ok with that.
If you want more consistent national championship DNA, find a pro team to couple with beloved Michigan.
I would love your opinion on the difference between the team in the opening few weeks, vs. what Nebraska, Iowa and OSU are likely to face. Here are my thoughts:
Early team: Obviously, no Frank Clark; hobbling RoyR; Fitz 1/2 game; Black, Roh at new positions; Kalis w/o game experience; PeeWee, Darboh, Chesson, AJW, Bolden pretty raw
Late team: peaking (hopefully healthy) Denard; some OL seasoning; LB depth; etc.
