Summary
This week’s episode was driven entirely by questions from our listeners, with a healthy mix of football and recruiting topics discussed. We opened by talking about Eric Gray’s pledge to the Wolverines and a discussion on Michigan’s running-back success on the recruiting trail as of late and what Jay Harbaugh is doing right as a recruiter. We also discuss the state of Michigan’s offensive line and take a stab at a current two-deep at the position and justify why it’s so hard to recruiting evaluators to project offensive linemen correctly. We then discuss the state of Michigan’s wide receivers, what that means for this season’s depth chart as well as what it means for 2019 recruiting. We close with some smaller discussions on Michael Barrett, Cade McNamara, the remaining recruiting board for 2019, trap games in Michigan’s 2018 schedule and much more.
