Lopati is a nice get, but calling him the most important recruit of the year is pure Michigan delusion. You're celebrating a 2026 QB while Notre Dame is landing elite plaers who will actually play this season. Your program is clinging to a "development" narrative because you can't compete for the top-tier talent anymore. The portal is how you fix problems now, and your refusal to embrace it fully is why you'll be watching the playoff from home again. That "Michigan way" just got your coach fired and left you scrambling. We build with high school stars AND portal impact players, which is why we're consistently ahead of you.
