| 0:00.0 | Welcome on into the Wolverine Recruiting Show. Clayton Safie here with E.J. Holland and Tim Vergeese. |
| 0:06.3 | We're going to break down the latest surrounding Michigan football recruiting as always. |
| 0:11.6 | And it hit on a couple top storylines here. Of course, the biggest one of the week. |
| 0:16.2 | Michigan defensive line coach, Sean Neua. He is headed to USC to coach for Lincoln Riley. Same job there, |
| 0:22.4 | defensive line at USC, but this is a West Coast guy, so it didn't totally shock us. We had heard |
| 0:27.1 | in the last couple weeks that some schools were pursuing him, potentially even as a defensive |
| 0:31.3 | coordinator, but he lands back out west with USC. That begs the question. What does this mean for |
| 0:37.1 | Michigan recruiting? And to that, |
| 0:39.6 | I ask you, EJ, what kind of impact is this going to have? Yeah, I think USC's a great fit for |

| 1:19.5 | Graham. So I felt like he was trying, he was starting to really find his footing as a recruiter |
| 1:24.2 | now off to USC. With the 2022 cycle pretty much in the books, |
| 1:31.2 | I don't think it's going to affect things too much. |
| 1:34.4 | Kenneth Grant's going to be at Michigan. |
| 1:37.0 | You know, there's nothing to worry about there. |
| 1:38.6 | Even though Nua was his primary recruiter, |
| 1:41.1 | and I'm sure Kenneth isn't, you know, ecstatic about him leaving. I feel like |
| 1:45.7 | Kenneth, you know, always wanted to be at Michigan regardless. I think one to watch is Mason |
