Before the season, RecruitingNation selected a team from each conference that was at its recruiting “tipping point.” Meaning, based on a few different scenarios this team's recruiting class could end up being a very good class, or it could go in the opposite direction. For the Big Ten, Michigan was the selection.
It seemed that elite-level recruits were curious as to how fast new coach Jim Harbaugh would turn things around, and what the turnaround would look like. With six games as evidence, the Wolverines are well on the way to closing out a strong recruiting class if the positivity around the program continues.
