I mean it's still okay guys. Bummer city for basketball recruiting over the past couple days. Let's survey the carnage on 24/7's rankings:

It's gonna be fine.

Class sizes vary so widely in college basketball that team recruiting rankings often spit out absurd results—would you rather have MSU's class of #34 and #75 or Wisconsin's class of #84 and four guys ranked #145 or lower—but here Michigan's also at the top in per-recruit quality. They'd drop some if Jace Howard was re-added; they'd still be ahead of the rest of the league.

Michigan's going to continue going after high end guys and some are going to come. Josh Christopher deciding that Arizona State is better for his Global Brand™ than Michigan… well, let's say that's a one-off. Just have to have a little more patience. In the meantime here's this top 50 center Michigan beat Duke for and a couple other top 100 croots.
