Current Michigan Wolverines Quarterback Jayden Denegal Announces Transfer Destination Today

Sherrone Moore, stepping in as the new head coach for the Michigan Wolverines, is already carving out his unique legacy.

On the Champions Circle’s The L.A.B. podcast hosted by Jake Butt, Moore outlined his forward-thinking recruitment strategy.

Despite scrutiny over recent recruitment classes, he stands firm on prioritizing cultural fit over conventional “star” ratings.

During the podcast, Moore explained, “You look at the types of guys we just won a national title with, we didn’t have a whole bunch of five-stars. We had some.

We want to have elite talent, don’t get me wrong, but I think there’s enough of it out there that you can find that also fits the culture.”

He shared insights from a conversation with baseball icon Derek Jeter, who stressed the significance of alignment and cultural fit, vital for building a cohesive team.

“You talk to businesspeople, it’s all about alignment and how that does.

It starts at the top. It starts at the top and then it goes to the bottom and then it goes up and down, you can flip it either way.

 Everyone has to be aligned with the vision.

When you have that, you have something that is super powerful.

We’re definitely going to try and bring in the right type of guys here, the right type of families to become Michigan Men, and Michigan Women, and continue to keep this program at the highest level.”

He delved into the comprehensive recruitment process at Michigan, which assesses more than just athletic skills—they’re evaluating character.

 “We have a lot of databases, a lot of services that can find names, players and people.

For us, once we dig deep into who we want to look at and who we want to recruit, there’s a lot of questions that you gotta ask,” Moore highlighted.

This includes conversations with various individuals who have interacted with potential recruits, from family members to school staff and even local community members, ensuring a thorough understanding of each recruit’s character and values.
