I - with no rational reason whatsoever - hope Orji takes the helm. I just love the idea of a 6’3” 230lb highly mobile QB assuming he also can throw!

Would be a huge bummer to lose him. But objectively this would be awesome form coach Hart. Seems like Jim has been more focused on elevating Moore and Minter.

In Judaism, there is a wedding contract called a Ketubah. It's really pretty boilerplate legalese. Rest assured, this clause is present in the document.

It’s not just with Davis — his dumb bickering with other analysts is so childish and petty. You can just feel the pettiness oozing from half his pieces.

It was always bad. Don’t understand why everyone loved it. Each episode of the both seasons is a pointless sun mission that has nothing to do with anything. It’s almost impossible to follow what the primary journey is.

Andor is way better.

Absolutely no problem. Whatever premium UM has to give up to avoid this clown show every year, they should. And Harbaugh should agree to the high buy out, showing the same commitment in return.

I've had just about enough of Ye these last few weeks/months. On a separate note, excellent pod. 

It’s pretty well litigated…

It’s pretty well litigated that higher recruiting rankings over time correlate to more success. Not sure why it’s so offensive to suggest that our (amazing) team’s (that I love… yes, even the 3*) on field success not translating to recruiting success is disappointing.

I always love the "calm down" comments

'm expressing a curiosity and mild concern here. I think its unproductive to blindly defend the status quo as the best way and be unwilling to be honest about threats to sustained success. Of course, success on the field is a complex combination of factors – many of which were thoughtfully pointed out in other replies. But I do think that the unwillingness to pivot (for reasons unclear to me to this point) to take advantage of the legal boundaries of NIL has the potential to bite us down the road. You're welcome to disagree.

1. Best of luck to the kid! 

2. We're ranked #2 and (hopefully) heading to our 2nd consecutive playoff after our 2nd consecutive whooping of Ohio State.

3. We did it with players that came in as part of classes ranked 7th, 10th, & 14th nationally. 

4. We are adding recruits graded in the mid 80s (for 2023) and losing our best recruits to lesser programs with heavy NIL approach and we have a class ranked in the mid 20s... 

I fear our success will be unsustainable with such a talent differential between our current team and the projected team with a few classes in the 20s. It is 100% the NIL approach at this point, right?

This is so real. I think it’s actually taken me this long and 11-0 to have enough space to be able to approach this as balanced as you just did. Everything that could have gone wrong absolutely did.

Pumped for Breeon and go blue!

 

Side note… do we have any reason to believe 2024 will be a major turn around from an objectively underwhelming 2023 class? At some point you’d expect the NFL stuff to have diminishing impacts and the new recruiting coordinator to find his groove… but we not exactly capitalizing on a historically GREAT run by our team when it comes to recruiting impact.

Not pretty. But this team found a way to win with 3rd string RBs and TEs and WRs dropping passes. 
 

Previous Michigan teams to not complete the comeback. 
 

Here is to Corum, Edwards, and Schoon are back next week. The team is understandably way different with those three in the fold.

Seems genuine and we should move on. As an aside... this has been a pretty rough stretch for your Jewish friends the last few weeks. There has been violence, antisemitic pamphlets being passed out around the country, all the Ye noise. I encourage you to check on your friends, tell them you love them and stand with them against Jewish hate. It will be deeply appreciated.

If we add Nyckoles Harbor,…

If we add Nyckoles HarborKarmello EnglishJyaire HillKayden McDonaldAaron Gates, and Spencer Fano... which would be a EPIC close, we would land with the 15th best class nationally (by 247s rankings).

The world is not ending or anything but definitely disappointing after winning like we have over the past 1.5 seasons. Similar to how the 2-4 year galvanized the team, it would be nice to see the same impact of a down 2023 class on 2024... 

In the ESPN power rankings…

In the ESPN power rankings they have Clemson at 4 with a “dominant 30-20 win” over NC state and they have Michigan at 5 as having “avoided the trap” and winning “despite” two scores from Iowa. Love the narrative differential.

I am so sick of the people…

I am so sick of the people who view the current status quo as acceptable. Bottom of the barrel '23 class, Moore all but gone, top recruits trending away. The level of complacency is insane and so is the need to down vote anyone who says that this is unacceptable. There needs to be a serious reckoning inside the Michigan recruiting department and coaching staff. 

The world would likely stop…

The world would likely stop spinning on its axis if we just consistently got 4-5 star recruits instead of “late rising 3 stars” so thank goodness we haven’t disrupted that. 

I don't understand the…

I don't understand the disdain for the OP. This is just all true.

The facts:

  • We had such an incredible season!
  • We beat OSU
  • We have one of the highest paid coaches in football
  • We have one of the best brands in football

The result:

  • A 5* QB in our back yard, a 5* QB grandson of a legendary UM coach, a 4* DL with a brother on the Basketball team all trending away from Michigan
  • 5* WR with one of the most legendary Michigan players ever as a mentor is showing little interest 
  • We have the 18th ranked class in the country with our top commit likely not staying in the class 
  • A star on our basketball team is giving interviews speaking to how poor our NIL infrastructure is and how we are going to lose recruits because of it 

It is utter trash. And frankly the unwillingness or disinterest of fans and supporters of our program to have an honest discussion about WHAT THE F*#% is also a part of the problem. How about some accountability? 

LET THE NEGS RAIN!
