On his plans to recruit the state of Michigan
“You always want to take care of your own backyard. There's no doubt about that. We'll put a priority and an emphasis on in-state recruiting in Michigan, obviously.
I'm going to start developing relationships with the high school coaches and making sure that we get some good relationships going there with us and the staff. We'll put a lot of manpower in the state of Michigan. We'll divide the state up and get plenty of coverage.
