Isaiah Bond to the portal
January 12th, 2024 at 1:27 PM ^
Would take him but it seems like 95% of SEC portal transfers are SEC—>SEC.
I'm wondering if we can steal Courtney Morgan back from Deboer if he goes to Alabama. . .
January 12th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
Bond's probably going to Texas, so... yep!
January 12th, 2024 at 1:57 PM ^
God I despise what the tv execs have done to college football
January 12th, 2024 at 1:57 PM ^
Getting him back would be huge
January 12th, 2024 at 2:05 PM ^
Why would he want to go to the SEC? That is weird. I mean, the last 1 in a row national championships have been won by the Big Ten.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:28 PM ^
Free agents, the lot.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:30 PM ^
Would be happy to get a "Welcome Mr Bond" post (said in Auric Goldfinger's voice)
January 12th, 2024 at 1:31 PM ^
I would rather take a receiver with a Goldfinger than butterfingers.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:30 PM ^
I heard a rumor that Darius Clemons and Darius Clemmons have both entered the portal. I will post on the message board if I can confirm.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:32 PM ^
But what about Darious Cleamons?
January 12th, 2024 at 2:03 PM ^
He is staying... for now
January 12th, 2024 at 1:33 PM ^
Heard he's going to Clemson or Clemmson.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
That's Clemzin in SC
January 12th, 2024 at 5:18 PM ^
ClemPson
January 12th, 2024 at 1:33 PM ^
Or Darius Clemmmons? Or Darius Clemmmmons?
January 12th, 2024 at 1:37 PM ^
Any news on LeDariouse Clemmonson?
January 12th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
Ledarius henderclemmmonnss???
January 12th, 2024 at 2:04 PM ^
Clarence Clemons?
January 12th, 2024 at 3:06 PM ^
Darling Clemons Tine

Bama is in for some struggles no matter who they get. Who can follow Saban? Only one guy. Urban. We hate him and that's fine but nobody else can step in and keep it rolling.
They're going to take a step back
January 12th, 2024 at 1:44 PM ^
I have to believe Urban is done, and even if he's not, whatever school picks him up probably only has him for five years, max, before he flames out. That's not to say his program won't be wildly successful in that span of time. He may even win a title in that time. But that is a short-term "deal with the devil" that university will make.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:45 PM ^
They already have taken a step back (for them). They are in their third year of not appearing in the national championship game. Saban leaving on top of that can't be a very good thing for them.
January 12th, 2024 at 5:20 PM ^
NIL has hurt Alabamas ability to out talent the rest of the field. These players are more spread out now more than ever and we've seen Saban teams fall off a bit because of it.
January 12th, 2024 at 3:11 PM ^
It's kinda crazy that this is the first I've heard or even thought about Urban replacing him.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:37 PM ^
Well, even before Clemons left I felt like we need help at wide receiver, and a bigger guy with experience would be really nice. The Indiana kid would have been perfect but he's going back to the Hoosiers. It's a tough sell because there are not a lot of balls to go around.
January 12th, 2024 at 2:06 PM ^
Would be nice to get an experienced widout but we already have the bigger guy with experience to catch the ball, his name is Colston Loveland.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:38 PM ^
Do portal transfers sign a "letter of intent" at their new school? If so, when?
I ask because if Harbaugh and JJ were to come back, would we still have a shot at some of the transfer WRs we missed out on recently?
If we have a now stable and appealing situation here at Michigan, are there any compelling guys left to come here?
January 12th, 2024 at 1:55 PM ^
At least WR seems like the kind of position where a veteran guy can plug-in at fall camp and be fine. With a QB, you probably need the guy to go through spring ball or he could take half the season to really get going.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:56 PM ^
Think the issue you run into is kids being enrolled at their new school and enrolling at Michigan for spring ball.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:39 PM ^
According to the laws of Newton, this can only mean Isaiah Hole to the Bond
January 12th, 2024 at 1:42 PM ^
If he was an OL/DL or RB, you might be able to talk him into Michigan but WR? What WR wants to play in our run heavy offense?
January 12th, 2024 at 1:55 PM ^
It’s not like Roman Wilson wasn’t given plenty of opportunities to shine in this offense. In fact, on the espn app there’s a top 30 plays of the cfb season feature and guess which play was #1…Wilson’s TD catch on the helmet of the Nebraska defender.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:42 PM ^
Come to the blue guys Isaiah. Would be a huge pickup.
January 12th, 2024 at 2:49 PM ^
I would enjoy hearing the Michigan Marching Band playing the 007 theme every time he picks up a first down!
January 12th, 2024 at 1:49 PM ^
Unfortunately, SEC players stay in the SEC when they transfer.
- There is surely a potential incest joke here about keeping it in the family.
January 12th, 2024 at 1:50 PM ^
It’s going to be Miami
January 12th, 2024 at 2:07 PM ^
He can't resist some mid-week MACtion!
January 12th, 2024 at 1:53 PM ^
I’d take him
January 12th, 2024 at 2:17 PM ^
Bond is from Georgia and only seems interested in southern schools. His media session at the Rose Bowl also stood out to me as being the only player for either side that came off as a me-first type. He's a good player, but I doubt he comes to Michigan or that he'd be a great fit here. Michigan could also use a WR bigger than 5'11" that will probably garner some serious NIL on the open market.
January 12th, 2024 at 2:18 PM ^
Word is BOND!!!
January 12th, 2024 at 2:21 PM ^
He talked a little too much shit for my liking. He was part of the reason I thought we'd win, because too many guys were like him...overconfident.
Besides, he'll go somewhere where they throw the ball a lot.
I could see him at OSU to be honest. They lost Harrison and Fleming.
January 12th, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
Yes please! It’s time for some more portal success
January 12th, 2024 at 5:29 PM ^
To Texas w/Sark take it to the bank. These guys don’t want to come to Michigan no “flashy” enough or whatever.
January 12th, 2024 at 6:55 PM ^
Texas fans seem very confident he is going to Texas. Apparently has scheduled a visit there this weekend.
