Michigan's 2024 Blue-Chip Ratio Revealed: What It Means for the Wolverines
Michigan's Blue-Chip Ratio (BCR) for 2024 shows the team still boasts more four-star players than three-star and below on the roster. Despite being the reigning national champs, the Wolverines are facing a season with a new look compared to the previous year.
This year, Michigan's BCR stands at 56 percent, indicating a strong presence of top-tier talent on the team. Even with some key players leaving for the NFL, the Wolverines have managed to replenish their roster with 17 four-star recruits and nine three-star recruits from the 2024 class.
Notably, quarterback Jadyn Davis, running back Jordan Marshall, and edge Dominic Nichols are among the new recruits making waves in early evaluations. Michigan's strategic approach to targeting players in the transfer portal has allowed them to maintain a competitive roster.
Although Michigan will face tough opponents with higher BCRs like Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, and USC, the Wolverines still have a shot at another national championship. Adjusting for transfers, Michigan shows the least drop-off in BCR among these teams, showcasing their preparedness for the upcoming season.
Despite some skepticism surrounding Michigan's chances in 2024, the BCR metric proves that the Wolverines are well-equipped to contend for the top prize once again.
