That's a shame.

 

[BobPSU92]

That’s gotta hurt.

 

[Nitt1300]

 

[91Joe95]

That's a perfect record.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

And especially nice since one of PSU’s recruits contributed to their 0-for-weekend!

 

[grinagrin]

I’m happy about this too but I’d much rather stuff like this happen to OSU

Not surprising, Jimmah does his best work in recruits’ bedrooms.

 

[JWB389]

I have to believe Harbaugh's NFL stock has dropped considerably too.

 

[PSU Soupy]

How do even know that JH wanted those guys. The wolverine sites believe that Jimmy brought in numerous overrated recruits that tOSU and PSU would then go after.

He is very crafty, using the OSU game as a giant recruiting diversion.

 

[NittPicker]

Was it true that each of those recruits had Michigan at #3 on their respective lists?? Third place again??

 

[Norm Petersin]

How many recruits did Harbone pull from Italy?

 

[Obliviax]

That is really amazing...thanks for posting. They lost that game 31-20 after being tied at the half and down 1 going into the 4th Qtr. This is the game that Barrett was hurt and Dwayne Haskins played most of the game. One has to wonder if there was some chemistry issues on the UM sideline and locker room.

Look at how they threw up all over themselves in the 2nd half of the bowl game. Something isn't right there.

VOMITROCIOUS.

Look at how they threw up all over themselves in the 2nd half of the bowl game. Hairball isn't right there.

Jim Harbaugh is a big loser on national signing day

Not only is the honeymoon over at Michigan for Jim Harbaugh, the marriage could be veering toward “we should meet with a counselor” territory.

Harbaugh’s tenure at his alma mater has not been as successful as most pundits predicted and fans expected. What’s worse, it is starting to look eerily familiar.

That familiarity got worse Wednesday, when several other college programs closed the 2018 recruiting cycle stronger than the Wolverines, and Michigan dropped to No. 21 in the 247sports composite rankings on national signing day. Harbaugh’s four recruiting classes have now been ranked 37th, eighth, fifth and 21st by the 247sports composite.

His predecessor, Brady Hoke, followed the exact same pattern: a sluggish start after the coaching change (30th in 2011), followed by two big years (sixth and fourth), followed by a big fade (20th in 2014). The Wolverines also faded on the field, dropping to 5-7 in Hoke’s fourth year. He did not get a fifth.

Harbaugh’s on-field results also have been similar to Hoke’s. The Wolverines slipped from back-to-back 10-3 seasons to 8-5 in 2017. Harbaugh has won two more games than Hoke did through three seasons, but Hoke also finished higher than third in his division — twice, in fact.

Nothing causes consternation in a college football fan base like losing to rivals and poor recruiting rankings. Harbaugh is 0-3 on the field against Ohio State (and 1-2 against Michigan State), and Urban Meyer continues to rule the recruiting trail.

The Buckeyes have a higher-ranked class than the Wolverines for the eighth straight cycle, and the gap might be getting wider. Ohio State has finished seventh, fourth, second and second in the 247composite rankings during Harbaugh’s four seasons. The Buckeyes are clearly in the nation’s top recruiting tier, a place reserved only for them, Alabama, Georgia and maybe Clemson. The Wolverines have been a second-tier program the previous two seasons, but fell a couple of notches below that for 2018.

What’s worse — Penn State might be passing Michigan as Ohio State’s biggest threat. The Nittany Lions have won the Big Ten and won a New Year’s Six bowl game in the past two seasons. Now, they just landed the No. 4-ranked class in the nation, just behind the Buckeyes in the battle for Big Ten supremacy.

James Franklin’s club has an average finish of 13.25 in the past four recruiting cycles. Michigan’s average in that span is 17.75, and it’s still 13.0 if Harbaugh gets a break for the first year, when he had limited time to cobble together a class. Michigan fans do not expect to see Penn State on equal footing, let alone clearly having more momentum moving forward.

The 2018 season was always going to be big for Harbaugh. After having one of the youngest teams in the nation in 2017, this was supposed to be the year he delivers in Ann Arbor.

The ride to this point has gotten bumpier than expected, though. Harbaugh has climbed trees and held sleepovers and taken his team all over the globe, but if he doesn’t win more games, beat some rivals and recruit better players, his time as coach might not last longer than Hoke’s.

“Michigan fans do not expect to see Penn State on equal footing”???? Based on what? Is there a more overrated program in the history of college football? They haven’t won the Big since 2004 (and that was a tie) and they have not been relevant nationally in ages, yet they’re not supposed to be on equal footing with a program that has been more successful in the modern era of football? Unbelievable.

Notre Dame comes to mind!

Notre Dame comes to mind!

They were at least in a NC game in the last 5 years...Michigan only goes to a big game if they buy a ticket.
