Michigan Wolverines have really shocked everyone this year. Now, picture this: a team trailing behind, losing nearly every game, suddenly wins a bowl against Alabama. It’s just amazing. And

Sherrone Moore is not letting any opportunity slip by to make a big impact in the upcoming season. But how’s he doing that? Well, it’s quite simple—by strategically recruiting top-tier talent to strengthen the team’s roster. Seriously, what kind of magic is Moore pulling that top players like Bryce Underwood are flocking to this program? That’s some next-level boss moves right there.

People should take notes from Sherrone Moore’s recruiting game. It’s honestly surprising how he’s been effortlessly stacking up his roster, even when top targets slip through his fingers. Now, just a few days back, Michigan lost their top wide receiver, Troy Stellato, to the Kentucky Wildcats. And then Moore also lost another top receiver, Skyler Bell, because of the issue with his credits. But the recruiting wizard is back with a master plan of adding strong receivers to his team as

Michigan’s insider reveals some key additions.

Now here comes Sherrone Moore’s first target, Tru Edwards, from Louisiana Tech. According to insider EJ Holland, Edward might visit Michigan, and guess what? Michigan’s actually interested in him. Moreover, he’s a Duo All-America, which makes him even more eligible for all that sweet, sweet interest. As an insider reveals that “He’s coming off a weekend visit to Kentucky, and Ron Bellamy, Michigan’s receiver coach, has been in touch.” Now the catch here is Edwards has one year of eligibility remaining, plus to land him Michigan will have to beat out programs like Kentucky, Florida State, South Carolina, and others. It’s going to be really tough to land him.

Another guy on the radar? Wake Forest wide receiver transfer Donovan Green. He’s a 6’2″ junior who had 23 receptions for 380 yards and three touchdowns this past season—nothing to scoff at, right? But wait, in 2022, he had 37 receptions for 642 yards and six touchdowns. He missed the 2021 and 2023 seasons due to injuries. But hey, when he’s fully healthy, he could totally be a valuable receiver. But even here the competition is high, as an insider says, “Michigan appears to be in the mix along with other schools like Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, and others.”

Well, apart from these two players, Insider has a personal favorite player suggestion for Sherrone Moore, and that’s Ole Miss WR Aiden Williams. This 6’3″ sophomore didn’t get much burn this season, but he’s a former four-star, top 100 recruit. Plus, he just hit the portal, so maybe Michigan can swoop in. Sherrone Moore is really turning Michigan’s fate.

It’s a well-known thing that Sherrone Moore and Michigan struggled a lot with their quarterback situation this season. It was like a total mess. Plus, Sherrone Moore’s first year as head coach becomes a game of musical chairs, with quarterbacks swapping in and out, but no one landing in the right spot. After trying three different players under center, no one could fill JJ McCarthy’s shoes. But enter Bryce Underwood, who gets convinced to join the circus. Now let’s just be real: throwing him in right away? Yeah, that might not be a genius move.

So here comes the transfer portal, which gave Michigan a chance to bring in some experience while Underwood finds his footing. Now, is Coach Moore’s decision to add Mikey Keene wise? Yes. This savvy move could lead to them landing Kaedin Robinson, too. “[Robinson] was part of the same recruiting class as new Michigan quarterback transfer Mikey Keene, so Keene knows Robinson. I’m sure Keene will be instrumental in helping Michigan recruit Robinson…those ties should help the Wolverines,” said EJ Holland. He then shed light on another interesting wrinkle.

Moreover, Holland also pointed out that there’s more on the list, saying, “Another tie here is Robinson’s agent. [He’s] actually the same agent that helped with Michigan’s recruitment of Donovan McCulley, who Michigan landed out of the portal last month. So they’ve already worked with Robinson’s agent. There’s a familiarity there. That could help.” help. Robinson still hasn’t scheduled an official visit. But the key takeaway? Sherrone Moore got everything under control. Looks like next season this man is making it big in the game.
