The first Wednesday in February used to be an unofficial holiday for college football fans. Now it’s an afterthought.
That said … there’s still plenty to like about this Michigan 2019 recruiting class, almost all of them having signed in the December early period. There’s star power, potential early help, depth at positions of need … we break down some of the highlights and more in this week’s 3-2-1 column.
This time we do it in 1-2-3 format ...
ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU GO “HMMMMMMM” ….
Michigan might still have landed five-star Zack Harrison out of Columbus had assistant Al Washington (and, to a lesser extent, defensive line coach Greg Mattison) both been fully committed to the cause. We know now, however, that sending these two guys in for the last visit before the December signing period was a mistake.
Both, of course, bolted for Ohio State in January.
We knew Urban Meyer was out and that Ryan Day was the coach in waiting in early December, and if we knew it … well, it would be stupid to assume Washington didn’t know. It’s also very likely he had an inkling Day would be pursuing him. They’re friends, they worked together (and again, WE knew).
