Also, recognize Michigan’s highest rated recruit would be OSU’s 8th highest recruit.
Lastly- if you look at the schools like Auburn, Miami and Oregon who signed recruit with humongous upfront cash payments, how do you think that will sit in those locker rooms? When Jimmy thinks he should’ve got as much money as Joe, that will be toxic.
I guess it depends on your philosophy or maybe it’s a pick your poison scenario. I still would like to see high-level recruiting, player development, with a little bit of transfer portal mixed in as the most solid longer-term strategy.
