Maurice Linguist says his decision to leave Michigan football to become the head coach at Buffalo was difficult but the opportunity was not one that he could pass up.
“Obviously, any time you make a transition, the recruits and the student-athletes and the coaches and the community that you’re part of, it’s always difficult,” Linguist told reporters Monday morning. “But this was just too good for me not to investigate and be a part of. As hard as it was to leave that situation, we could not be more excited to be here and get ready to work.”
Shit.
A crack recruiter, Linguist’s hire was the first widely regarded sign of hope that Harbaugh could turn the program around following last year’s 2-4 season. Linguist helped them secure commitments from legacy five-star Will Johnson and TN 4 Kody Jones for the 2022 class, and as of last week the Wolverines appeared to have a strong chance with several more elite athletes in the secondary. Most likely the fallout from today has changed that position significantly, especially with Jones, who committed just days after Linguist s hire. Michigan will also have to start over with top target TN 4 Myles Pollard, and explain to everyone why they go through so much staff turnover.

Michigan’s closing in on prospects at some positions of need, and adding guys to the board at a lot of spots where they’re less sure of their top options. So let’s check in on recruiting before this post gets pushed down by another Hello or Goodbye. The 2022 recruiting board lives here.
Quarterback

Nate Johnson got a crystal ball from 24/7’s Sam Webb and a FutureCast from Rivals’s EJ Holland recently. Johnson ran a 10.49 100-meter-dash at a meet last weekend per his coach. For reference, Tyrone Wheatley put up a 10.46 at Michigan, Denard’s personal best was 10.44, and the mathematics of the Universal Standard Model of Quarterback Physics breaks down at around 10.42.

I’m trying different formats for the recruiting posts. If you’re keeping track of all the names you can get much better recruiting coverage from the paid sites dedicated to it. If you’re just trying to get oriented, these posts are for you. I update the 2022 Recruiting Board under Useful Stuff every week or two.

Lorenz has a (free) rundown of who’s coming and when, with the penultimate weekend in June (which I assume is the BBQ) when they’re going for the most overlap bonuses. I’ve added a few that have been announced since.
