But Michigan has to recruit more kids - otherwise they can't field a travel squad for their bowl game.Per 247 recruiting:
2016 class
Clemson: one 5*, 21 commits, recruit average 90.30 (#11 ranking)
Michigan: one 5*, 28 commits, recruit average 89.86 (#8 ranking)
2017 class
Clemson: two 5*, 14 commits, recruit average 92.10 (#16 ranking)
Michigan: two 5*, 30 commits, recruit average 91.20 (#5 ranking)
2018 class
Clemson: five 5*, 17 commits, recruit average 93.45 (#7 ranking)
Michigan: no 5*, 19 commits, recruit average 88.75 (#22 ranking)
Michigan had 77 commits with three 5*, while Clemson had only 52 commits yet had eight 5* and had a higher per-recruit average all three years. It took Michigan 77 commits to get their three 5*, whilst Clemson gets three 5* every 20 commits. And look at the ridiculous difference in the 2018 class.
