Recruiting used to be about, facilities, fit, family values, tradition, education, and top coaches that can develop you into an NFL Draft pick. A few programs also offered secret bags of money to an Uncle, a job for mom, a new house for grandma, etc. Now, it's all about the bag.
4-star safety Darrell Mattison was Coach Whitt's first committed recruit at Michigan last month. He visited Ole Miss this weekend and de-committed yesterday. If I had to guess, Ole Miss made a better offer.
Nothing to worry about here, the new Michigan staff is working hard on the trail and will get talented players.
- Brandon McCoy Jr. and Lincoln Cosby are offically Wolverines now. Lincoln is going to redshirt as he recovers from an ACL injury. Dusty had a big recruiting class.
- Dusty also signed Moustapha Thiam a center from UC out of the portal. Did you know, Cincy beat Michigan in a exhibition last October and Thiam had 15 points on 6-9 shooting, since then Michigan won a Natty and Thiam is now a Wolverine.
- Reports are Juke is down to Michigan, Tenn, and the NBA Draft. It seems the NBA Draft is the leader in the clubhouse.
- Brendan Sorsby having a gambling problem puts the NCAA in a tough spot, there are reports he did place bets on IU to win when he was their QB. If those reports are accurate, your in Pete Rose territory here. College Football becoming professional football is going to have professional problems.

Ok Jim Bob or John Boy....college football hasn't been about the education for a long time. before it was about the legal bag, i.e. NIL, it was about the Wendy's bag cash and which program gave you the best shot at getting in the NFL. if it had been about an education then please explain Alabama and OSU. My dogs could matriculate at those schools! From the advent of the CFP, college football has been about one thing, and one thing only: DA MONEY! SHOW ME DA MONEY!
No the funny thing is I think the only school that's gotten a worse return for their money than Ole Miss is Texas A&M.
I'm not sweating losing a high school recruit over NIL. I just feel NIL is better spent on the TP, ala Curt Cignetti or what Dusty is doing in men's basketball.
