Michigan's 2017 recruiting class on paper was arguably one of their bests ever: #4 overall, 30 commits including 3 5-star players and 16 4-stars, good for a 3.67 average - pretty darn impressive for a 30-kid class. Welp:
Wow. That's just incredible. If DMac is transferring that means 14 players (14!!!) of the 30 player class - nearly 50% - will have transferred. A lot more to unpack with this class, but the transfers really stands out.
