One question facing the Michigan football coaching staff was how would it attack the 2027 recruiting class?
Certainly, Kyle Whittingham has a ton of experience recruiting on the West Coast. The Wolverines have targeted some players in California, and even in Utah, as they usually do, but there have been some midwestern targets, too, especially in the Buckeye State.
That doesn't mean Michigan football is ignoring the state of Michigan. The Wolverines have invested plenty of energy on in-state recruiting, but they are also going into the state of Ohio, which is area where the Wolverines have done well historically.
