You won’t find Jim Harbaugh riding go-karts and climbing trees to land Michigan’s top targets on the recruiting trail this time around.
The Wolverines aren’t struggling in recruiting, currently holding the No. 13-ranked class, but that is a drop from their past two classes -- both ranked No. 6 overall. The 2016 and 2017 recruiting classes had a combined 33 ESPN 300 commitments, while the current 2018 class has five and won’t have Ric Flair and Tom Brady celebrating its arrival.
After going 8-5 this past season, with another loss to Ohio State, the Wolverines have reasons to stay quiet.
