Reactions to Michigan’s explosive morning on the recruiting trail

With Taylor Groves and Kody Jones both committing at the same time, Twitter exploded with reactions to Michigan football’s new 4-stars.

Now we see why Michigan football brought in some fresh faces on the coaching side.

With some new looks on the defensive side of the ball, the Wolverines have been incredibly aggressive on the recruiting trail. While the 2021 finish was impressive enough — adding three defensive tackles, none of which seemed Ann Arbor-bound on early signing day, but inked on national signing day proper — that wasn’t enough to satiate Maurice Linguist, Mike Macdonald and George Helow. The trio, led by cornerbacks coach Linguist, aggressively pursued a tandem of four-star prospects in the state of Tennessee, and both committed at exactly the same time on Friday morning.
