Hello. I’m new here after about a 10 year break. A much kinder & gentler fan.

Being new I’m wondering if there has been any explanation of why Michigan had such extraordinary attrition from the 2016 & 2017 classes? In my mind the single biggest reason why Football had a poor year is 11 transfers or dismissals from The 2016 top 5 class. More if you count 2 recruits who never made it to campus.

2017 was worse. At least 14 players transferred from a top 5 class. More if you count other guys. 25 players who would have been you upper classes gone by transfer. Isn’t that a huge problem and why we had a walk on MLB after McGrone got hurt, for example? Peters will have played 3 years for Illin

Sorry if this has been discussed, but recruiting classes don’t matter if they leave. Lots of those losses are from outside the B10 region (i.e. California/Florida recruits).

Any thoughts on this?
