On this week's edition of The Michigan Recruiting Insider Sam Webb, Steve Lorenz, and Brice Marich discussed the opening of the winter transfer portal window, highlighting several of the Wolverines’ hottest targets. The conversation begins with a focus on quarterback pursuits, and the surging momentum with Maryland transfer Billy Edwards, in contrast to that with USC quarterback Miller Moss. The discussion also covered the importance of adding proven production at the receiver position, with a focus on taller, stronger wideouts like Indiana transfer Donaven McCulley. Defensive line needs were addressed, with an emphasis on Kentucky transfer Keeshawn Silver. Offensive line reinforcements like Josh Thompson and Jordan White were also discussed, along with potential cornerback additions like Tacario Davis and Emmanuel Karnley. The episode also focuses on dynamics recruiting the portal and how relationships can play an even bigger role given how often coaches are courting players they previously recruited. Sam Webb highlighted an especially noteworthy target to be on the lookout for in Georgia linebacker Troy Bowles. Several other players are discussed.
