Comments on: Weekend Open Thread http://www.umvarsityblue.com/2009/06/weekend-open-thread/ Covering Michigan Football and other sports in depth, with a focus on the the year long process of recruiting.

I believe Brian had mentioned 21 (at least) most recently. Wondering where people think we'll really shake out with attrition, etc... Just seeing the 21 was slightly alarming given the quantity already committed given that we'll probably take 3 more OL, and have a few other pretty significant needs along with the hope of landing a couple of top prospects at positions that aren't really of need, but we'd take anyway.

Was saying Brennan Clay committing to Oklahoma today is probably worth bringing up. Sorry about above. Was saying Brennan Clay committing to Oklahoma today is probably worth bringing up.

It's not the same thing. First, the teams aren't in the same situations and second, and more importantly for the athletic department, is the revenue for the university. Bill Martin needs to schedule 3 teams a year that don't require a return visit. Bill Martin isn't making a mistake for not loading up Michigan's football non-conference schedule but he did make a mistake when he agreed to play ND until the end of time. How much more would everyone being looking forward to Michigan vs Oklahoma next season instead of Michigan vs ND again?

If we lose, it's not that big of negative as long as we aren't blown out. And if we win, it's a huge win for the Tourney resume. It seems like a much larger risk for Kansas, UConn, etc. than it does for Michigan. I’m looking forward to a tough non-conference schedule.
