A. They are still under the false impression that Auburn is still some kind of powerhouse.

B. Maybe they aren't "relying" on offering 4/5 star players because they know they arent going to get them?

Also the "trust the coaches" who have never proven anything line of thinking is still hilarious

There are so many layers to the stupid it’s like an onion, and I constantly think of additional things...

It’s also not like the 4-5 star players aren’t also being evaluated in-person by every school.

In their brains, are all the top schools offering top ranked players on a whim without doing their own, mostly in-person, evaluation too?

They’re all evaluating the same group of players, and Michigan is not offering the elite ones. Which means 1) they’re not elite, and won’t be, based on their recruiting efforts, or 2) they’re the ONLY elite school out there “smart enough” to scout and offer kids who not only aren’t ranked highly, but also don’t even have good offer lists for the most part.

We talk about it a lot, and repeat the same things a lot, but the DFBIA collective psychosis is endlessly fun to observe and discuss.

Them still trying taking some kind of credit for "developing" Brady cracks me up though

He developed so well at Michigan he ended up a 6th round draft pick.

He played at Michigan, that's about it.

They're going to die on that hill. It's literally all they have to brag about as a program along with being the all time wins leader. And that record is diminishing by the year. I've barely even seen Brady recruit for them, return to the school, post on social media, etc. On the flip side, Idk of one OSU former football who doesn't shout out the school in some capacity.

It’s rare you see a former player come out in praise/defense of Harbaugh. Well the old ones at least. I know a few newly departed after 2020 defended him, but at the same time you had Braylon Edwards, Desmond Howard and Brian Griese publicly blasting him

For how poor we looked last year, we are doing pretty well recruiting this cycle. One good season I think we’re fully back on track

:lol:

2022 recruit average - 88.76
2021 recruit average - 89.99

I guess going backwards is being on some kind of track.

It’s the same delusion about their ability to scout and develop... just because a low-rated guy ends up playing doesn’t mean it was a quality job when there were no highly-rated players to beat and a low-rated player was the only option.

Edit: an important background factor here is the results on the field and the hilariously bad record against top-10 teams. Just playing isn’t good enough to claim superior development of talent when they lose almost every single game against the best opponents...and you also lose more than occasionally against lower-rated teams for good measure.

Similarly, just because a bunch of kids are committing doesn’t mean you are “doing well” recruiting.

I guess the coaches really know their target audience with their #MobMove hype.

I think it was someone here, possibly in this thread, who said Michigan lands a bunch of three stars they make think are five stars because they are going to Michigan.

That sums up the program and the source of their problems perfectly, I think.

The company they're keeping with that 88.76:

Rutgers (88.44)
Indiana (88.41)
Oklahoma St (88.18)
Kentucky (88.46)
North Carolina (88.94)
Ole Miss (87.80)
California (87.78)
Washington (88.21)
Arizona St (88.96)

^ That's their peers in recruiting now.

They're 5.59 points per recruit behind tOSU for 2022. That puts them closer to these programs than the Buckeyes:

Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Ga Tech
Purdue
Illinois
Pittsburgh
Arizona
Oregon St
Coastal Carolina
Nebraska
Syracuse
Washington St
Kansas St
Texas Tech
Arkansas St
Appalachian St
Toledo
Memphis
Southern Miss
East Carolina

There isn't a talent gap, there's a talent chasm...and it's only getting wider.

Yeah I added Johnson as a “secondary guy” he’s big enough to be a safety if needed. But I agree it’s a shame they also haven’t gotten anyone drafted at that position or put them in the NFL. You know guys like Jarrod Wilson, Delano Hill, Josh Metellus. It’s too bad Michigan doesn’t know how to get or develop safeties.

Jarrod Wilson - Undrafted

Delano Hill - 3rd round pick but has done about nothing in the NFL

Both of those guys were Hoke recruits though and spent a majority of their time there with him and his staff. So you cant really give Harbaugh "credit" for either of them.

The one you can though......inexplicably trying to call Josh Metellus a good player :lol:

Those examples are sure to have 5* DBs running to you.
