Re: Lloyd Carr Retiring

Does anybody know what Carr's retirement will do with recruits committed to UM for next year? As much as I'm excited about a coaching change, I don't want to see Sam McGuffie decommit in favor of A&M.

I doubt that we will suffer a string of decommits. McGuffie has family ties to Michigan from his father. I know his mother wants him to stay home, though. In UM's case, I believe most recruits are drawn to the program, rather than to Carr. I don't think his leaving will be a deal breaker with our commitments.

It'll be interesting to see if Carr stays on in some capacity - assistant AD or something. If so, that'll help in maintaining the recruiting class.
There will probably be decommits. It happens. But a new coach might also pick some up, so if the change happens quickly and smoothly, I'm optimistic.
