A Quick Look at Michigan's Top Prospects for 2019

Harbaugh and his staff are off to a great start for the 2019 cycle. With only four commits on board, it still puts them firmly in the Top 10 and average star rating of 86.25. That is extremely high.

Of course, it is okay to be critical of Michigan's 8-4 season if you wish. It was, afterall, a season that saw them lose to both rivals again while only getting one win over a bowl eligible team (Purdue). Every team deserves the feedback in college football. As a fan, we want all these young men to improve themselves on and off the field. That's what it is all about and criticism can be helpful throughout the process. However, when reviewing the last 13 games of the Wolverines' schedule, one needs to make sure that nothing is taken out of context. In other words, there needs to be an understanding of the big pi
