During Wednesday’s "Signing of the Stars" show at Crisler Center, the show’s hosts, the Sklar Brothers joked that Michigan “only” secured the top six players from the state of Michigan.
The joke continued that maybe next year they should try for the entire top 10 and the few thousand fans attending laughed.
But they couldn’t understand how rare the sweep was.
Since 247Sports has been compiling the state’s top prospects in 2000, only twice did a school (Michigan) have the top-three players, in 2004 and 2005. Every other year, no school had more than the top two.
