So, for those that don't know, Michigan basketball is bringing in Glenn Robinson Jr., Mitch McGary, and Nik Stauzkas next year. One of the best recruiting classes among the nation. On top of Burke and Hardaway returning next year, they could be on their way to a final four appearance in the near future. Now football, coming off a Sugar Bowl victory, they have a top 10 recruiting class for football coming in this year as well. This year they may be looking a possible B1G championship. But, their 2013 class is the best to date, with a whopping 11 ESPN 150 recruits. If Hoke brings the young ones up, Michigan could very well return to the team we know from early to pre 2000's. Thoughts?

Football wise Michigan faces a very tougher schedule than last year. 5 road games plus the Cowboy Classic a far cry from last year especially when the B1G Visitors record was 26-27. If Michigan can beat MSU at home they should be in INdy come Dec just with 2 or 3 losses

Although I will agree Michigan has a great class (can't believe i just said something positive about them) don't use ESPN as recruiting rankings use more of scout, rivals, and 24/7... their evaluations are much better and espn is very very poor.

Yea I agree. Due to the fact that they can't get "up close in personal" to all of the athletes. Usually they only have met the top 5 or so. That being said, they still have 11 of the top players in the nation. Usually the most you see ON SIGNING DAY is about 12-15 max. I'm more excited about the basketball part of things. Starting to be a less "tunnel visioned" university and getting away from that "football, football, football" mindset.

Great hockey program, and baseball is the last B1G team I believe to make college world series, that was also around 1984 I believe though. Other than that though I don't know much about them guys.

Jim Harbaugh, Super Bowl loser and winner of zero championships at the college or pro level will be an improvement over Brady Hoke and should help re-invigorate a rivalry that has recently become somewhat staid. Though some Mich. fans found Brady Hoke's attempt to disparate the wolverines from Ohio St. by calling the buckeyes "ohio" humorous.
