On the other post someone mentioned how good of a recruiter Boynton is.  He recruited Cade Cunningham (#13 class) in 2020 and had the #14 class in 2023.  There are two top 40 recruits and a couple of other top [150] guys from OSU in the portal.  They are all young.   Boynton is also a "defensive coordinator" type guy.  Kudos to whoever pointed all of this out in the other post that was deleted.   This is a huge pickup.

I'm guessing we may never know the full scope of what happened between Juwan and Sanderson, but there is very likely some bad blood still remaining between Sanderson and Michigan. Or more specifically, Sanderson and Warde. 

Warde stuck by Juwan through all of it when there appears to have been very little reason to, and I'm sure that was the final nail in the coffin for Sanderson to decide he was no longer welcome in Ann Arbor, and packed his bags. 

Probably more likely that Sanderson's kid winds up at Illinois. Even though there is a new coaching regime in Ann Arbor, Warde is still there. I have a hard time believing Sanderson would want his kids playing any sport at Michigan while Warde Manuel is still overseeing the athletic department.

He can recruit and coach defense. It's a good hire.

Wonder if he can bring Eric Dailey into the fold now that Dailey is in the portal. Same with Eric Garrison. Both are freshmen so getting admitted to Michigan shouldn't be a big issue.

Two of my kids went to OSU (ntOSU), so I've paid some attention to Boyton. He's a class act, excellent recruiter and a very good basketball coach. I am excited to have him at Michigan.
