On 4/19 Four-Star Safety Jaylen Reed Commits to Penn State over Michigan
Just unacceptable imo. Michigan is taking a beating with in-state recruiting this year. It's one of the best classes that the state of Michigan has produced in years, and Harbaugh is taking it on the chin.
#1 player in-state 5* DT Damon Payne (#26 overall, #2 DT) hasn't committed to anyone- but he will not be going to Michigan unless something crazy happens. #2 player in-state high-4* RB Donovan Edwards (#38 overall, #4 RB) was a heavy Michigan lean very early on that almost committed to Ohio State- and now he's wide open again and is no slam dunk to Michigan. Georgia is trying to get in there.
In-state high 4* OL HS teammates Rocco Spindler (#47 overall, #2 OG) and Garrett Dellinger (#74 overall, #12 OT) are both trending away from Michigan. Spindler is leaning ND and Dellinger LSU.
And then to top it off, Harbaugh has let 4* S Jaylen Reed get away to Penn State, 4* OT Caleb Tiernan get away to Northwestern, and 4* CB Kalen King get away to Penn State.
Just a disaster year for Harbs in-state. One of the best recruiting years for in-state talent and he's not locking it down. There isn't a ton of talent in Michigan. When there are these oddball years where there is a lot more talent than usual- have got to lock it down.
