Summary

This week's episode is almost entirely recruiting though, as Shaw and Lorenz break down the recent commitments of Mazi Smith, Zach Charbonnet, Erick All, DJ Turner II, George Johnson III and Joey Velazquez. The two also discuss how the productive weekend went for five-star targets Zach Harrison and Quavaris Crouch, what the headway means for the remainder of the class, what the final 2019 class should expect to look like, how Michigan's recruiting approach has changed over the years and what to make of the 2019 class and key targets so far. The two also discuss their dietary preferences for the Fourth of July.
