1. First of all, stop moving the goalposts. Your thesis is that Michigan's class is ranked so high because of quantity and not quality. I just used a tool that you cited to show you that Michigan's top 10 and top 20 quality are right on part with everyone else that rounds out the top 10 team rankings. Can you at least concede you were mistaken on the quality of recruits Michigan is bringing in?

 

2. No, that is not at all what I said. If Michigan had a lower limit of scholarships they don't take both late commit WRs in McDoom and Johnson. They don't take both late commit Safeties in Gil and Metellus. Dytarious Johnson misses out on the class due to academic reasons. The late Spanellis commitment came out of nowhere and I don't think Michigan recruited him hard. I believe he would be the 4th guy Michigan would not have offered if they were worried about a scholarship limit.

 

Taking guys out of the class that likely wouldn't have had commitable offers makes much more sense than simply taking guys out of the class that enrolled early. Guys like Brandon Peters, Ahmir Mitchell, Devin Bush, and Kareem Walker were never at risk of not being recruited. Guys like Eddie McDoom, Nate Johnson, Josh Metellus, and Devin Gil were.
