With Sherrone Moore officially naming his defensive staff on March 6, the Wolverines are taking an understandably measured approach on the recruiting trail. While it’s true UM will experience some degree of carryover with three returning assistant coaches and Moore running the show, much of the staff will be tasked with surveying the country for future Wolverines for the first time.

While at Michigan, Reed Jr ..read more
