Summary

Ohio State is on a hot streak on the recruiting trail. Meanwhile, Michigan is in a downward spiral. The Wolverines were already struggling big time in recruiting for 2023 and then last night they lost their top-rated recruit in their class, 4-star linebacker Raylen Wilson. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, take a look at the Buckeyes' recruiting efforts on the defensive side of the ball, and we also take several of your questions. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

0:00.0	good morning buckknutters welcome to the
0:29.8	Bucknuts morning five here on Wednesday June 29th, 2022. I am Dave Vittel. I am joined by the
0:35.1	people's champ Matt Baxon-Del. You ready for some shot and Freuda backs? This is going to be a
0:40.2	shot and Freuda heavy version of the show. At least a start out. Friends to the north,
0:46.6	it was already not going well for Michigan and Jim Harbour on recruiting. But at least they had
0:50.5	a top 100 player, a four-star blindbacker, the number five linebacker in their country,
0:55.0	even with him. Their class is ranked in the 40th and the 40th is one of the worst classes in
1:00.2	the Big Ten. Well, that young man decommitted last night and they are now down to 55th in the
1:07.0	country and recruiting. Only have six commitments. They're 13th in the Big Ten out of 14. The young
1:12.0	man that decommitted, linebacker Raylen Wilson at a Tallahassee. I mean, you get on the Michigan

1:25.3	and it will be fine. Dave even resorted themselves to thinking, this is an absolute disaster.
1:30.7	How did this happen after they finally have their banner year? I think it's mostly because of
1:34.8	Harbour thinking he had the Vikings job. But there's got to be more to it than that. Why is Michigan
1:40.1	just an absolute disaster in recruiting right now, Bax? Well, you noted it on the head. I mean,
1:46.2	he was interviewing for the Vikings job on National Signing Day. That's like going on a date
1:55.6	instead of going to your wedding and then just going back two days later and being like, oh,
2:00.9	no big deal. We're all good. You think that wouldn't cause some problems. And on top of that,
2:09.5	his actions also led to them losing Josh Gattis, who, whatever we think about him, the guy thought
2:18.2	he was getting the Michigan job. And when he didn't, he was like, all right, I'm not dealing with
2:22.0	Jim Harbour for another year. Peace. And that's another big blow that they've had. So right now,
