It's been quiet on the recruiting front lately for the Wolverines and there are a few reasons for that. Michigan pretty much rebooted their staff last season, as success warranted new hires and promotions. It's difficult to make up ground on recruiting relationships in just a few months when Michigan has a new OC and DC. It's also not great that our head coach took a month's flirtation with the NFL. The Championship season on the field, sort of got leveled out by the coaching turnover and Jimmy's flirtation.
This weekend was big and the 1st official visit weekend of the new season. Attending were the following players:
2023
Collins Acheampong, DE 4-star ✅
Semaj Bridgeman, LB 4-star
My'Keil Gardner, DT 3-star
Aaron Gates, S 4-star
Jyaire Hill, CB 4-star
Chico Holt, TE 3-star ✅
Logan Howland, OT 3-star
Jeremiyah Love, RB 4-star
Kayden McDonald, DT 4-star
Fredick Moore, WR 4-star ✅
Paul Mubenga, OT 3-star ✅
Rahmir Stewart, S 4-star
Chis Terek, OT 3-star
Makari Vickers, S 4-star
John Walker, DT 4-star
Highlight = Official Visit
✅ = Crystal balls coming in for Michigan
Lots of these type of comments from players this weekend, "Michigan made a big jump with me", "their facilities are first class", "feels like family", "really connected with the coaches", "got to know the program", "could see myself here" and "this program is in great shape for a long time".
There was also a number of 2024 guys in attendance but wanted to focus on 2023 for now. Let's hope we get some commitments soon!

Good post today good column on recruiting news thank you 👍
Understand your comments yet don't completely agree. Bama turns over their staff almost annually yet recruiting never drops off.....cuz winning fixes everything. Even gets media and recruits to forgive the biggest dbag coach in the ncaa...Saban. UM can't blame recruiting on the turnover, especially with Jimmy still at the helm. Definitely think Jimmy's chat with the Vikings hurt and the lack of enthusiasm for the NIL doesn't help either. As Jimbo said, "you can't out coach recruiting".
