Doubt that game will even be close. Does anyone get why Michigan is 9th? Other than they are the defending champs?

I mean, they still have some DUDES tbh. In the top-100 ranking where Pearce is #1, UM has 2 guys in the top 10.

But without Harbaugh and JJ, they feel like a 9-3/10-2 team. Should still have a great defense.

But they were like that for years before they broke through. OSU has far more talent. I see it as a 10 pt spread...but could get away from them in the real world.

While I won't disagree with the premise about the athletic department in general, I don't think kids play football here without a) believing in what the football program had to offer in all areas and b) if there's not a track record to lean on both on and off the field.

So not only will I not ignore the current status of the athletic program as a huge benefit for recruiting (in all programs), I will also still give credit to this staff for now getting guys across the finish line now, where they weren't necessarily in previous years.

Bottom line guys like David Sanders and Faizan Brandon aren't coming here solely because of the condition of the athletic department.

Does it help that things are so aligned? Absolutely. The way things are right now overall is the type of alignment most of us have been clamoring for, for more than a decade. I would argue it's probably better than we imagined it could be.

But somebody still has to close in football.

The comment want really meant to create a lot of discussion… Great recruiters all have a similar personality type… They all fit the mode of Smart, Saban, Fulmer, etc…. They obsessed and were extremely intense towards recruiting. That’s not Josh Heupel….. He does have some traits that help with recruiting… exciting offense, great culture, great with parents and kids.

We are ahead of the game in almost every area and that is bc of the wisdom of Boyd and Plowman. Hiring Danny White was the best decision they have ever made… There is a reason almost every single program is better than the way he found it. Almost everything is ran smoothly over on the hill(except for not being able to spell David) 😂 Every coach has weaknesses but the athletic department is helping them to become strengths. It is a great day to be VOL

There will be no burning of mattresses if one our coaches leaves in the middle of the night… The next hire will be successful as well. I am 100% sure of that. BVS is gone!!!

I think now you go laser target your guys in top 25 players in Country. No more projects. No more taking guys just to take em, cause you can coach em up. That can be done with schollie increases.

Go get the absolute best, you have a real chance to get a top 5 class.

You mean we no longer have to discuss the diamond in the rough attributes of recruits like Jose Jose?
