Under former head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Michigan Wolverines were solid on the recruiting trail, but never consistently elite. They finished with the No. 8, 5, 22, 8, 10, 13, 9, 17 and 16 ranked recruiting classes during his tenure. All good classes, but they were never always at the top.
But now that Sherrone Moore is the new head coach in Ann Arbor, the hope is for things to change in that regard.
In speaking to the media during his opening press conference as head coach on Saturday morning, Moore spoke about the importance that recruiting — both high school and the transfer portal — has in this current landscape of college football, and how it is more important than ever to recruit at a high level.
