Based on my criteria, I would say it's looking promising with back-to-back 10 win seasons but Michigan still hasn't been able to beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten. They've been close but not quite there

This will possibly be the shittiest weekend for 2018 recruiting so I guess its good to get it out of the way now

Mallory most likely going to Miami. DTR most likely committing to UCLA on Sunday.

At least Mustapha Muhammad is trending heavily towards UM

Missing out on a TE and QB, two positions Harbaugh can coach up and recruit well, doesn't bother me much.  With Peters and McCaffrey in the fold, a 5-star or high 4-star QB is purely luxury right now.  TE might hurt, but I TWJ and the crew will be just fine...especially with Muhammad seemingly in the class silently.

Michigan was his favorite from about late November to late February-Early March. Jedd Fisch was his primary recruiter so when he left to UCLA it kind of bostered UCLAs chances of landing DTR.. Insiders started changing their crystal balls back to UCLA in March and now DTR has gotten a sleugh of news balls to UCLA in April

Mustapha is a silent commit but wants to take visits.  Anyone who listened to Sam the day after his visit knows this.  Sam offered a "gut feeling" and now isn't talking about it so the kid can do his thing.  

We are so deep at TE and QB that I'm amazed anyone really cares.  Speight/Peters/McCaffrey have got QB tied down for the next 5 years so why does everyone go nuts if DTR goes elsewhere or Milton goes Blue?

Asiasi was a huge blow because of his unique skill set. Not sure I've seen a skilled pass catcher be such an effective blocker.  But the rest of these guys like Eubanks, Mallory, Mustapha all seem fairly interchageable.

Possible this kid has been steered towards Michigan his whole life and wants to make his own decision of anywhere but Michigan. Not go to Michigan just because his dad and uncle played there. All in all I can see why kids would pick Miami and I think Richt is a decent person and good coach. Runs a clean program

Mustapha Muhammad and Jeremy Ruckert are silent commits and Mallory was told "we look to be full up with scholarship TEs" ... but he could be a PWO.
