Likely somewhat better. But Hairballs 2015 class was very small and that is the class for NU among the 4 that has had the most impact so far. And the other classes have not yet made their full impact. So while the improvement might not be huge to date, going forward it would make a much bigger impact. Again, I was talking about what is coming.You seem to be extremely poor at answering questions. So we would have done worse or better than we did with Michigan-level recruiting classes from 2015-18? Simple yes or no question, not one that requires walls of text.
I'm guessing you must have some sort of Michigan connection. Even I can't post walls of rah-rah text like this about NU football....
I do not have any particular ties to MICH. My grandfather who died about 60 years ago went there and was honored in some hall of fame but that is about it. I have never even been on the campus. I am just suggesting that those with purple cool aid glasses take a step back to recognize that though we have come a long way, Mich going forward looks to be a couple steps above and a much stronger opponent than the Mich over the last 10-15 years in which they were not really a match for OSU. So while we may have closed the gap somewhat on that Mich, I can't say the same thing for the Mich I see going forward. Hopefully we will win more of the recruiting battles and that will change
