From the article cited above:
Ohio State has a 247 Composite score of 291.60 with 22 commitments.
Michigan has a 247 Composite score of 251.15 with 24 commitments.
That's a forty point difference. That's not "neck-and-neck". That's not even close. And the gap will likely grow as Ohio State fills out its class. Fact-free articles like this perpetuate the myth that Harbaugh is some kind of ace recruiter. News flash: He ain't.
And by the way, according to the article, Michigan spends nearly twice as much on recruiting as Ohio State. So Harbaugh's not a great recruiter, and he's inefficient as well.

“Under Jim, the program has rebounded. Seats are being sold, fans are buying apparel and winning and the Michigan tradition make the difference,” said Andrea Fischer-Newman, who served as a regent from 1995 until 2018. “Personally, I don’t think winning a national championship is the end all and be all. Sure, it would be wonderful to win one, but in the meantime, the work Jim is doing on and off the field is what we all should be proud of.”
He had inherited a program with plenty of winning tradition, and perhaps no one knew it better than he. A former quarterback at Michigan under Schembechler, Harbaugh finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1986 while leading the Wolverines to an 11-2 record, a Rose Bowl appearance and top-10 ranking.
It didn’t take long for Harbaugh to restore the program’s luster.
Michigan mega booster Al Glick, who has donated millions to the school and whose name is on the indoor football practice facility, says Harbaugh’s value goes beyond the field.
"Harbaugh is more than a football coach; he is teaching these young men that there is life after football. This is one reason they take the trips (to Italy, France and South Africa) -- some would never have the opportunity to see other parts of the world.
“I hope Coach Harbaugh stays at Michigan until he retires.”
But Glick said he knows fans want more.
“(The) only disappointment the fans have is the same as Harbaugh’s -- they haven’t beat OSU," he said. “I think it is about our time.”

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
So, they're now taking the Mike Brown approach - "as long as we're making money, we're kind of ok with losing."
The past three coaches have had decidedly different trajectories over their time at ttun.
Rich Rod: 3-9, 5-7, 7-6 (fired while trending upward)
Brady Hoke: 11-2, 8-5, 7-6, 5-7 (fired while trending downward)
Harbrau: 10-3, 10-3, 8-5, 10-3 (not really trending in any particular direction)
When it comes to Harbrau and whether he stays or goes, the question is: are they happy with their ceiling being 10-3?

And here in a nutshell (taken out of the comments section) is the essence of their arrogance.....
"To be fair, UM has the additional challenge of maintaining a world class, highly ranked academic institution in addition to their
athletic program. MSU and OSU don’t have that challenge, considering their mediocre academics and lack of focus on/interest in that component of their universities."

yeah they are happy....10-3 / 11-2 are hairball's ceiling.....as a player and coach. his greatest season as a player was going:
Harbaugh finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1986 while leading the Wolverines to an 11-2 record, a Rose Bowl appearance and top-10 ranking.
lost 2 games...didnt win bowl game and finished top 10....not even top 5

They were happy with LLLLLoyd having 4 losses every year as long as he was flogging Cooper...3 losses a year and being our bitch has decidedly less luster though.

And here is another one. When you can't perform on the field up to the standards of your rival you try to justify your results by trying to tear down your opponent. How about looking in the mirror assclowns....Rationalization 101 do they teach that at TSUN probably a part of the world class Kinesiology program
"Another key statistic or number - that really reflects the leadership of the program and how far behind Michigan is. Take a look at the Bucks - two of their past three head coaches have retired / resigned because of lying and improper conduct. That’s two out of three. At Michigan, none of the three prior coaches performed in that manner.
You’ve got to give credit to the Buckeyes - they know how to pick head coaches. Very consistent standards, or lack thereof."
