Consistency in the transfer portal could be key for the future of Michigan recruiting

The Michigan Wolverines scored big when Olu Oluwatimi chose to come to Ann Arbor. The former Virginia center could be the most influential transfer that Jim Harbaugh has pulled in a recruiting cycle, as he was a Rimington Trophy finalist in 2021 and expected to be among the better players on the offensive line this year.

Shea Patterson was another huge get. Moving from Ole Miss to Michigan created a ton of hype for the Wolverines as Harbaugh got his first five-star quarterback. We all know how that story wound up being written, but there have been so many instances where a key transfer player has meant the difference between a conference championship and a national title.
