Episode Details

Michigan’s football program has long drawn top local talent, but some of its biggest recruiting misses stung even more—because those players went on to dominate elsewhere. Think Charles Rogers lighting up Michigan State, Carl Banks winning a Super Bowl with the Steelers, Jerome Bettis becoming “The Bus” at Notre Dame, and Vernon Gholston terrorizing Ohio State’s defensive line. Even recent recruits like Dante Moore and CJ Carr, both Michigan natives, chose rivals over Ann Arbor. These aren’t just losses—they’re reminders that even powerhouse programs face fierce competition for elite talent, and sometimes, the biggest stories aren’t the wins, but the ones that slipped through the cracks.
