There are a lot of things that can make a team great.

A fantastic QB, great coaching, legitimate depth, you name it. However, there is something to be said for camaraderie. When an entire football team plays like a cohesive unit, believes in each other and has each other’s backs, that is when a team can take another step forward.

Michigan is a team that is building to do something great. The Wolverines are projected to win the Big Ten this season. Part of it is because of the experience and togetherness that the team has.

In the future, it appears as though the cohesiveness will continue.

For the first time since committing, 2020 commit Nikhai Hill-Green visited Michigan when the team had its annual recruiting barbecue. It was there when bonds were formed.

“I think Michigan is a family environment and the barbecue, I think that just showed that we are all family here and we all have fun,” he said. “It was competition, but it was friendly competition, like family.”

Hill-Green compared his fellow commits to family.

He followed that sentiment with this:

“These are guys I can call in 10 years and I can ask them for anything,” he said. “I just met these guys and they already hook me up. If I text someone who is committed, or if they are going to the same camp as me, they give me the camp info. I just feel like we are brothers already.”

Brothers already?

That’s pretty strong. But, if people meet and hit and it off, there is nothing that can stop that.

In the future, Hill-Green and the rest of the Wolverines’ 2020 class hopes to be hard to stop on the football field as well.

Michigan’s 2020 class currently includes 24 members.
