Former Michigan Wolverines coach Brady Hoke recruited well; he just couldn’t win enough games to suit the tastes of the school and fanbase. However, he left plenty of talent behind for new coach Jim Harbaugh, who’s proving to be effective on the trails leading to the 2016 and 2017 signing days.
It’ll be a couple of years before Harbaugh wins with his guys, but he has loads of potential stars from Hoke’s 2012, 2013 and 2014 classes with which to begin the turnaround. Obstacles are present—there’s no denying that.
But Harbaugh certainly didn’t inherit a dry well.
