Mara is playing well for Michigan and he looks heavier, quicker and seems to be having fun playing for May. May is using him differently on both ends of the court than Cronin did. He plays more around the hoop where he can use his height and not so much out on the perimeter.
As far as recruiting success, I don't know any percentages but I believe NIL is a huge percentage of it but the tie breaker, IMO is the coach and style of play. I really like Dusty May and his style plus his in game, on the bench demeanor. Funny thing though. As a Bruin fan for over 60 years, if Michigan wasn't my wife's school, I probably wouldn't have seen many of their games. We've always watched the Bruins play but for the last few years when we finally got high speed internet where we live, we watch all Bruin and all Michigan games through streaming services that are now available to us.
