The Harbaugh Effect is now reality
Top class in the b10 by far AND these are hard nosed kids. Michigan men.
Warriner has new pieces to play with and Brown will plug and play the new Vipers
Had the best coaches, now the best OL and Secondary talent in the B10, period
This to go with the best WR talent in the nation already on the roster
A great class of recruits. Go blue!
Next up - beat that school in scarlet and grey and we will be back to form. The Harbaugh effect will last for a long time.
Well in 2019, every single guy on the team will be a Harbaugh recruit (including any RS Seniors that may be left from the 2015 last minute scramble). The last stench of 2008-2014 air should be out the window. For that alone, I am thankful.
The last years of Lloyd were ok classes, but the level of effort on the recruiting trail was dwindling. However, the roster sill had talent. In 2008, Rich blew up the serviceable roster he inherited, and for 3 years the overall talent took a steep nosedive.Then came Hoke. Hoke was a good recruiter on paper and for the most part, and he stabilized the team with decent talent after Rich blew it up.
Then Harbaugh came and the overall talent level just took a sharp uptick. Even with the transfers, the talent level is lightyears ahead of what it was during the RR/Hoke years. If Harbaugh were to mysteriously disapear off the face of the Earth right now, the coach that would be hired would have a massively talented group to work with that only 4-5 other teams could match/beat in terms of raw talent.
On another note, almost all of the players on the defensive side will be Don Brown guys as well, so the consistency there should keep paying off - with a few fixes, of course. The offense is TBD, but we will see who stays/goes.
