Lets not exagerate...Rusell did have another offer from Duke, and I believe Washington was offered by both Indiana and Illinois.... 
I think Jenkins was offered by VT which is a good offer, but the other guys were way under the radar, esp. Russell

ESPN - Carr says Michigan football starting from scratch - College Football
Indianapolis Colts defensive back Marlin Jackson, a former Michigan standout, said he was embarrassed by the result.
"We lost to a I-AA program, and we were a top-five team," he said. "To go out and be the first team in history to lose to a I-AA team, it hurts."
Jackson said the loss has been an almost nonstop topic of conversation for him.
"That's all I've been getting the last couple of days. Every text message I get just says 'Appalachian State.' That's all it says," he said.
"The Ohio State guys have been all right. It's everybody else around here. Even coach [Tony] Dungy said something to me about it."

Only 16 players saw time on offense.

That is one of the most remarkable numbers I have ever seen. |

As the author pointed out, it speaks volumes about the differnce in the 2 programs right now.
What I didn't see him say is how it affects next year already. They will be in complete rebuild mode with guys that aren't getting any PT this year.
We saw what happened to us in 2004 in very similar circumstances.

Henne, Hart, Arrington, Long and Kraus are all Seniors. Add Maningham and that is at least 6 of the 16.
Imagine how disappointed we would have been if JT had not gotten his second string QB a single rep Saturday - never mind third string. |

Yep.
Mallet and company are going to be as green as they can be when they come to the Shoe for the fist time in '08.
