So coming off of the horrible loss to Notre Dame last night, I figured I'd share my opinion on whether or not I think the game hurt us in recruiting. Right off the bat, I'm going to have to say no and I'll state my reasons why. There were lots of recruits at the game with interest in both teams such as Damon Webb, a 2014 DB/WR out of Detroit Cass Tech. However, most of the responses that we heard were in regards to recruits believing that could have an earlier impact at Michigan, which is definitely not a negative sign.
It was a great atmosphere, but a guy like Webb has visited Michigan the last two weeks for needless to say not very big games. Michigan hasn't had a big game atmosphere at home yet and I believe that come October 20th when the Spartans come to town, it could be huge. A vast majority of the 2013 commits have scheduled their official visits for this game along with big time 2013 target RB Derrick Green. Michigan is 2-2 right now, which isn't the start that we had all hoped for, but let's face it, we did lose to Alabama who is I think far and above the best team in college football. We gave away the game to the #11 team in the country so it's not like we have been upset in any means.
