Quote:Michigan fan here. Happy but not impressed. i wouldn't say we have the same caliber of athletes as Alabama either. that could be the difference.

 

1. Not impressed? Who better should Michigan have gotten after firing Borges?

 

2. I wouldn't say that the Big Ten has SEC level athletes or SEC level defenses either, so the fact that Michigan doesn't have Alabama-level athletes is pretty moot.

 

3. In 2011 and 2012, Michigan had the #1 ranked offensive line recruiting class. In 2013, Michigan signed the #4 overall pro-style quarterback and the #1 overall running back. The talent is there, it just needs to be utilized.

 

4. Nussmeier is the #14 rated recruiter in the nation, with down south ties. Think about that for a minute.
