True. That is shaping up to be very impressive. Off topic, but, as much as I love beating Michigan, (beating them bad is especially sweet), the bottom line is, we need them to be, at the very least, competitive. Beating them when they are good, ranked, is absolute joyful bliss. Somehow, beating them after Toledo, takes some of the ecstasy out of it for me. But, a win is a win.
Good luck, Vlad.

Not saying you are wrong...just think you need to recruit more than 3-4 talented players to make sure you have a strong unit....and even then you aren't guaranteed anything...ask Notre Dame

Morgan Trent was a 4* WR commit that wasn't ever suppose to play DB. Brandon Harrison was a 3* when he committed to Michigan and only later got bumped up in the rankings.

Warren, Boubacar, and Justin Turner were all very hot commodities, all ranked in just about every Top 100 list that I've ever seen. Vlad probably would've been in every Top 100 list as well and headed to Ohio State had he not blown out his ACL. The afromentioned 4 players are a different caliber of recruit than Trent and Harrison were in my opinion.
