Summary
Putting recruiting on hold until after Michigan's annual Barbecue at the Big House event, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz instead tackle some key team questions. They begin discussing their thoughts on Big Ten Media Days in Chicago, from dumb contrived narratives to genuine insight that Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines gave about their offseason and prospects this season. Then, the duo tackle a slew of questions pertaining to Michigan's strong 2018 schedule, and whether the bevy of big games will be enough to allow the Wolverines to contend for the Big Ten title and College Football Playoff even with two losses on their resume. They also discuss what a "successful" 2018 season would look like for Michigan, and what a realistic expectations over the next two to three seasons is. After that, the two discuss Michigan's 2018 recruiting class, which players the current team is most excited to have play this fall and which of the true freshmen are our picks to play meaningful snaps in the 2018 season.
