4 thoughts on Michigan Football recruiting in month of May
There is still time
The 2023 recruiting class has been underwhelming so far for Michigan football but at this point last year, there was a lot of concern about the 2022 class and that worked out just fine.
Michigan is going to have to figure things out in this new era of NIL but SEC teams and others have always played the “bag” game better than the Wolverines, so will it really change that much?
Players have always been attracted to Michigan for more reasons than football and that’s still true, plus the Wolverines have proven to be an NFL factory under Jim Harbaugh, especially for pass rushers which is why U-M is in a strong spot for five-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor.
Results on the field matter too. Notre Dame has lots of momentum now, but if the Irish get blown out by Ohio State in Week 1, things could change a little bit. The Wolverines should also be just as good as they were last season and that should help recruiting in the fall.
The summer BBQ is going to be huge. Michigan tends to get things going with commitments in June and July and they’ll need to have that happen again. But also, guys like Derrick Moore, Darrius Clemons, Damani Dent, and Zeke Berry were all later commitments in 2022.

Early national signing day is seven months away and while there are reasons to be concerned, Michigan football fans don’t need to panic about the 2023 class. At least not yet.
