Pate didn't say Michigan was "the greatest". He did specifically compare its construction to an Andy Griffith episode. From a bygone era. Last is the operative word.
Hopefully, Michigan wins another in the near future, but if it does (unless it's this year), it will be heavily NIL-driven.
I wonder if any effect would be left if you take out Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State.
From the eyeball regression, it's apparent that they are strong contributors to the slope and significance. But is it really the number of draft picks from the prior two years that are the driver of their recruiting success?
All an NFL offensive coordinator would need to do with Tualia would be to choose the correct 50% of Good Tualia plays and just run the ball or put in the backup for the other downs.
9 Wolverines picked in the first 200 picks. 57 picks to go.
There are 6 Wolverines in ESPN's best 57 available, from Jaylen Harrell at #30 to Braiden McGregor at the cusp at 57.
Many of the current picks are coming from outside of the 57, so hopefully Nugent #83, Henderson #92 and/or Jones #95 get picked to help tie or break the record.
Michigan is one ahead of schedule with Zinter being taken in the 3rd instead of the 4th round.
The 6th and 7th rounds will be The Michigan Show, with a Wolverine taken with every ~sixth pick.
My guess is that Michigan will fall just short of the record, as teams are sure to make some picks outside of ESPN's best 157 available, pushing some of the Wolverines in the projected best 157 down to UDFAs. But if one or two of those sub-157 picks are Wolverines, then it may happen.
As known before, tying or breaking the record will come down to the 3-4 of the border line drafable guys getting taken in the 6th or more likely 7th round.
Whether guys go high or low 2nd or 3rd has no bearing.
NIL is the one area that IMO could drag Warde down. (Other than the ever-present risk of scandal culpability.)
Football is about 2/3rds of his job. Basketball maybe 20%. He's blown away BB with the Dusty May hire.
"Transformational Not Transactional". (Or "Platitudes, not deserved market value compensation.")
Of course, Warde can't raise for NIL directly, but everybody knows the game, and donors aren't stupid. "Potential" donors like to be smoozed/kept informed. Nothing wrong with that. And they can write checks independently to NIL collectives. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm perfectly fine for Warde to be a chameleon and pretend he never said "Transformational not Transactional." For Michigan to stay elite, it needs an elite NIL pipeline.
I didn't look very hard, but per this graphic, football comprises about half of the revenue at FBS schools. (Seems ballpark accurate.) And at the football factories, it's probably a greater percentage, in both revenue and especially in profits.
Of course, there are going to be significant interruptions in recruiting from a near complete coaching staff change. It's a relationship activity, and it'll take time to build those. Fortunately, it's April.

He needs to take a class on how to grovel to the far more important person in the interaction.
What a total lack of self awareness (in addition to what's been said from the obvious angles).
If OSU only had a Connor Stalions, they would have known it was coming.
It worked for almost 3 quarters against Mizzou. But then their 3-0 lead turned into a 14-3 loss.
Didn't Iowa lose their punter?

I'd be happy if Warde became this guy in regards to NIL

Jim drafts Corrnelius Johnson at #253. Michigan up to 13.
Jaylen Harrell #252 to Tennessee. Michigan takes the lead at 12, breaking the Michigan record.
Ladarius Henderson #249 to the Texans. Michigan ties Texas at 11.
Mike Barrett #240 to Carolina in the mid. 7th. Michigan up to 10, 1 behind Texas at 11.
Start of the 7th. 37 picks left, Michigan at 9.
Michigan is down to 4 of ESPN's best 37 available, with Barnhart #44, McGregor #48, Nugent #71, Henderson #80, and Jones #83 outside of the top 37

Jalen Harrell #55. Trevor Keegan #88.
Penix will bust? Prematurely?
Who's got Two Thumbs and Three L's to Michigan?
Yes, how irresponsible to go from SOL to nearly making the Super Bowl.
Brad Holmes is way ahead of any reasonable expectation.

7 Wolverines have been picked thus far.
Per ESPN's best available, AJ Barner is fairly certain to be picked at #46 (there are 157 picks remainìng).
Then there are 7 from 102 through 142.
#171 Nugent, #185 Henderson, and #189 Jones also have a chance.
I think Jones is underrated at 189 but Wallace is overrated at 116.
In any event, the 6th and 7th rounds are going to be The Michigan Show. About every sixth pick will be a Wolverine.
The Lions next pick is at 164 in the 5th round, he wasn't going to fall that far
Per ESPN, Michigan has 8 of the remaining 156 best available. There are 156 picks left.
Next is AJ Barner at #52. The 8th Wolverine is Trevor Keegan at 150.
Three in a row!
Zinter #85 to the Browns. 7th Wolverine.
Let's go Zak
Roman #84 to the Steelers. 6th Wolverine
Blake #83 to the Rams, 5th. Wolverine
Mikey goes #50
Jenkins #49

Maybe Michigan's depth pieces are other programs starters.
Who woulda thunk it in 2020?
Like, next year?
What can we expect?
That it's only a matter of time before we hear laments about a low 8ish NCAA seed.
Following the past football and basketball* seasons, there's a lot of pent up demand for complaining.
Maybe that's part of the reason Warde got hammered (some of it deserved, IMO). There was no where else to go.
*Basketball was so bad that the usual emotional complaints turned into unemotional, dark humor acknowledgements.
&amp;amp;amp;lt;/body&amp;amp;amp;gt;
Dusty's gonna run into the 85 scholarship limit soon.
The Pillsbury Woeboy?
I think he meant Warde personally.

You nailed it, Dunder.
