Michigan now #16 in overall recruiting ranking

Submitted by M Ascending on December 18th, 2022 at 1:48 PM

For those who didn't know (I didn't), 247 now provides 3 team recruiting measures:

1. HS recruiting class

2. Transfer class, and

3. Combined recruiting and transfer rank. 

Michigan ranks 20th in recruiting class,  with 19 recruits,  but now ranks 1st in transfer class,  with 3 recruits, including yesterday's addition of Myles Hinton. This yields an overall ranking of 16.

This is 3rd in combined ranking in the B1G behind OSU -- down to 7th with the loss of Raiola-- and #13 PSU. We are the Jeffersons -- Movin' On Up!

Not sure how they weight the combined recruiting and transfer rank.  But if they are being honest, a proven transfer that has shown their skills on the field at the collegiate level should have a stronger weighted average as opposed to a HS Junior/Senior.  

That being said, I think it is possible that we are realistically looking at a top ten class.    

Just look at Olu and then put him in a class with a 5 star center prospect who is 18.  How do even begin to compare the two?  It really isn't an apples to apples comparison anymore.
