They are doing really well on the DL class this year
First of all f*** Michigan, looking forward to another mediocre season from them.

Second - I would happily take Dunham over Meadows (and his 2 sacks), I'd take Golden (if he commits) over Titan Davis, and Ewetade/Walker are pushes for me (though those on the beat love Ebenezer)

I can only go off of what I've read regarding us cooling on McHale Blade due to injury concerns.

That leaves the curious case of Alister Vallejo, but I'm not losing sleep over him.

We'll see how strong their class ends up. They dont have a single commit from Michigan in their top 12 or as a 4 star. They'll have to fight and pay to keep class together.

Welp they were champions to years ago and still haven’t done fuck all about it. By the time the NCAA is just about to bring down the hammer, it will be dissolved or no longer involved with top level football
USC's title wasn't stripped from them until 6 years after the fact. The Frozen Four investigation didn't conclude until 2+ years after the fact, and that was significantly more cut and dry than what happened at Michigan, and it was done with the school's full cooperation, whereas Michigan continuously tried to sweep things under the rug and failing.

Michigan has one of the richest men in the world buying recruits for them.

I think this and the portal are two situations where there's a right and wrong way to do this.

ND is doing it the right way, as in they're more than willing to give it's players a competitive and fair NIL package, but they aren't going to just throw insane amounts of money at kids in hopes to sway them. We've seen that situation blow up in the programs' faces, and I'm very confident this is going to backfire at Michigan and USC. It reeks of desperation and money can only cover up so many of your problems.

Those two are doing it the wrong way, and it's going to come back and bite them in the ass.

Nothing wrong with getting that money, but ND isn't concerned with throwing millions at kids to turn them, because in that case, they're only going there for the paycheck, not because they fit the culture and atmosphere. Those things absolutely matter when it comes to developing that talent.

Michigan and USC are turning into money printing factories disguised as football programs. ND has become a football program with the best culture in the sport, that also takes care of it's players monetarily.

Anyone concerned about Michigan recruiting can sit and spin. It’s fools’ gold. Half these dudes are SEC or Sack State bound by November.

That's the other thing. Michigan thinks they're the only one throwing the bag around. It helped them with guys like Ivan Taylor, until the SEC came a callin'.

I'm willing to bet that both Michigan and USC end up losing a few of their commits to the SEC bag man before NSD.

There’s also the part where Moore has to demonstrate he’s actually a good coach. That offense was a war crime last year
