Tried CJ Stroud, but he picked OSU. Have offered Dan Villari instead, a hyper athletic bigger guy and only a three star. Should go to Michigan. Michigan signed Blake Corum at RB, a borderline top 100 type who they had to hold off from OSU. Jay Harbaugh is the most underrated recruiter on the coaching staff. Corum is totally different than Haskins, Turner, and Charbonnet, built more like an OSU running back. RB has gone from the biggest question on the roster to maybe the deepest on the team. Gaige Garcia is nominally still in the class but on a wrestling scholarship, Tru Wilson might be best case scenario. AJ Henning is an ideal slot receiver for Gattis. Will probably play next season in the Giles Jackson mold. Eamonn Dennis is one of the likely sleeper picks of the class, a lot of similarities to Sainristil, also a Massachusetts guy and could play CB. Michigan’s scouting has been pretty good recently. Roman Wilson was a spring bloomer, also very fast. This could be Michigan’s fastest class ever. At TE, Matthew Hibner shot up the ranks but fell just short of 4* composite- 247 likes him a lot more. Hurt to lose Theo Johnson but Hibner makes it hurt less. Nick Patterson is probably not joining the class. Not as big of an OL class as last year, this is more of a supplemental class. Michigan had to beat ND to get Reece Atteberry. Jeffery Persi is a Greg Frey type and is Seth’s sleeper of the class. 2. Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz: Defense starts at 25:20 Braiden McGregor was the crown jewel of this recruiting class, Michigan beat ND for him. Temper expectations for McGregor in year one because of a knee issue. McGregor often played all over the DL in HS. Aaron Lewis is a Kwitty Paye type DE. Already a DE logjam going into next year, not a lot of rush for either to play. Kris Jenkins projects to DT as long as he puts on some weight. Michigan hasn’t neglected DT at recruiting, signed two top tier guys last year. Jaylen Harrell was a late pickup, a borderline top 300 edge with good bend in the Uche mold. Michigan chose Harrell over Van Filinger. Kalel Mullings is a good MLB prospect who has comparisons to Anthony Solomon as a freshman, should play special teams. Osman Savage is a guy that Michigan loved from the first satellite camps. Mohan has a ton of athletic potential who could be the next heir to the Devin Bush/Cam McGrone throne. Senior film for a lot of the linebackers was terrific and reassured Lorenz about a lot of them. Versatility is a theme on defense now. Jordan Morant has some Khaleke-type tape, Michigan fought hard to hang onto him. RJ Moten is more of a pure safety. Paige is a high floor guy, safe bet to be solid. Andre Seldon is a little short and has been playing both corner and safety, good athlete. If he was two inches taller, he’d be a 5 star, has great coverage instincts. Dorian Green-Warren will commit to a team (Michigan favored) at Army game, should enroll early. 3. Superlatives, with Adam Schnepp starts at 52:25 Overall this is an underrated class, with not a ton of big names. Hard to talk recruiting with people that don’t know a lot this year. Adam, Seth, and David go through their picks for biggest whiff, biggest recruiting win, favorite prospect, and more. 4. Five Questions, Five Answers, with Adam Schnepp starts at 1:19:22 David has to bail for this segment so it’s just Seth and Adam. Michigan seems to be more interested in converting strong side DE’s into DT’s than recruiting DT’s straight up. Michigan needs to beat OSU and make the playoffs to get top tier recruits. Coaching staff seems to be doing more scouting than going after five stars recently. Michigan will probably be okay at QB, may need to rely on a grad transfer at some point. Some great names in the 2021 recruiting class, and Michigan has a 5* QB leading it off. MUSIC: I've been waiting all year to do this: Ann Arbor native (and friend of the family) Andr Mayer Hawthorne!

#TeamCorker has been working hard behind the scenes for the last few months to put on our largest annual event. We bring together 400 people at Science World here in Vancouver to talk about the future of work and how we can disrupt the status quo. Matt and Steph sat down at the mic to reflect on this years event, to discuss the ways we decided to disrupt how events in the city are usually run, and to highlight some of the truth bombs dropped from the stage by our incredible speakers. We love being the ones to host this conversation, and this event is our way to give back to the HR community and beyond. We choose to open up the speaker applications for Disrupt HR YVR, allowing us to highlight some of the visible and invisible diversities that exist amongst the thought leaders of HR. As a result, our speakers weren’t chosen because of their title, or role, or their relationship to the Corker Collective, it was about selecting an idea that made our hearts beat faster. This year’s incredible line up included: 1. Urszula Lipsztajn | @urszulalipsztajn 2. Tru Wilson 3. Gavin Dew | @gavindew 4. Saleema Chaudhry 5. Kelsy Trigg + Darryl Stickel | @kelsytrigg 6. Kevin Rutherford | @clean_lantern 7. Emma Bradford | @emmagracebradford 8. Jodi Rai | @heyhumantis 9. Ed Blunderfield | @iamedwardmjb 10.
