Good article about possible transfers to Michigan

I also thought Maalik Murphy was a reasonable option because IF Arch is the anointed one Murphy's time in Texas will come to an end sooner rather than later; to be clear I am not saying Arch is going to be any good, that is just how it has been framed. And Michigan was hard after Murphy before he chose Texas. I also think Riley Leonard at Duke makes a lot of sense because it is likely his coach will be leaving for greener pastures. Duke is a high level academic institution so a transfer to Michigan makes sense. Of course Leonard could stay put, or transfer to whatever school Elko ends up at, but a year at Michigan, a complete team, makes a ton of sense for a guy looking to make himself appealing to NFL scouts. 

I dont feel bad if Tuttle is the starter next year, he is a good QB!

There's going to be a lot of portal QBs available this year. Between the coaching carousel and top schools losing their QBs to the draft resulting in QB competitions, there's going to be a lot of QBs transferring

If we beat OSU, he gone. 

I mean there is reason for unreasonable hope - Aiden Hutchinson, Jake Long, etc.... but his stock is so high and our schedule next year is a nightmare.

Do not get my hopes up.

He's looking at like 5 million a year if he goes like #7, i dont think we can muster up more than 2mil best case scenario.  Going to be hard for him to stay.

What are JJ's draft projections? I don't follow it closely but I've heard late first round? It seems like there are 3-5 QBs who might get taken before him. I'm not sure what the 25 QB draft class looks like in comparison but maybe he would rate higher with another year in college under his belt and less competition.

With four starters graduating on the offensive line, he’s not going to want to play behind what might make him run all over the place and a down season could hurt his draft stock. If they portal well for receivers, another tight end and some linemen then he might consider it. 

Harsh.  But it does just read like one fan’s wishlist.  

And has Ewers said something?   Because he is still almost certainly a first-round pick.   Why would he stay?

#2 on the depth chart at QB...a backup is still a backup.

Arch can afford to wait. Maalik could absolutely feel like after two seasons, he's not going to sit for a third.

I could depend on how close he is to graduating. Because if he was an EE, he could stay and still grad transfer after next year and have 2 years of eligibility. 

Being an underclassman transfer to Michigan is tough from Stanford (Myles Hinton)...I can't imagine it would work too well for Maalik when he's so close to a degree.

He will be second next year as well.  You think they paid all that money for Arch to sit the bench for 2 years?  Just because Murphy stayed this year, doesn't mean he will next year as well. But you may be right about the article.  Does just seem to mostly be most or all conjecture. 

Aside from the admissions aspect, I doubt Nolen would want to give up the "NIL" cash he's getting from the oilmen down in TX.

Based upon other threads on transfers, it sounds like admissions isn't the problem.  It's the departments who determine how many credits Michigan will accept from the players previous school.  Most transfers get admitted by UM.  The issue then becomes how many credits will UM accept.  Unless it's after their true freshman year or as a grad transfer, a lot of potential transfers decide not to come because of how many credits Michigan won't accept from their previous school.
