QB CJ Stroud committing tomorrow
Per 247, 2020 QB CJ Stroud is committing tomorrow at 9:30 AM. Sounds like it’s a Michigan Ohio State battle. Not sure of the level of confidence with this one.

0 percent confidence. Crystal balls keep coming in for OSU and it seemed we immediately moved to a different QB target. We just got to the party late on Stroud. I would gladly be wrong though.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:28 AM ^
OSU already has a commit at QB. How selfish of them to grab another
December 17th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
I like shellfish.
December 17th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Their top 3 QBs on the current depth chart are transfers. They need bodies.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:28 AM ^
Here for the dong punch.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
I am not sure why but this song came into my head with your lyrics instead:

Stroud is an Ohio State lock. This recruitment has been over for a few weeks.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
Greg Biggins put in a crystal ball for OSU yesterday, sooo yeah.
December 17th, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
I like bigguns....
December 17th, 2019 at 8:30 AM ^
For some reason I don’t care either way. Maybe less investment will lead to happier Saturdays.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:35 AM ^
Can confirm ?.
Enjoy the highs, move on quickly from the lows.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
Honestly made this season a lot more enjoyable -- or at least less annoying. The lost the games I thought they'd lose, and when it happened didn't really bother me much. They won the Notre Dame game in a rout, which was a bit of a surprise and wound up probably being the most enjoyable part of the season.
December 17th, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
This.
Winning and the cool stuff is fun, enjoy it.
Nobody is making you have to feel bad and your day ruined after a loss except yourself.
December 17th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
The way to sportz as an adult.
December 17th, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
I stopped following recruiting for 11 month of the year and that definitely helps keep sanity intact. Also what everyone else said ^^ Just not worth as much time as I used to invest into it anymore. Maybe that's just what happens as we get older, though.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
You probably don't care because most of us had never heard of CJ Stroud until he was offered. He was only offered a few weeks ago.
December 17th, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
Do people on here not really know who C.J. Stroud is? The kid won the Elite 11 MVP and was one of the hottest names for the 2020 recruiting class last summer. I thought most people on here followed recruiting...maybe not.
December 17th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
He's going to transfer twice
December 17th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
This is exactly it. The amount of losing big games (especially to OSU) has made me just not care about the disappointments as much as I used to. I'll never miss a game and will always root for them. If they win, great. I'll enjoy it and talk shit to opposing fans. If they lose, then whatever. It doesn't affect my life in the slightest. I have no control over how these games play. Enjoy the good times and just move on after the bad times.
December 17th, 2019 at 1:36 PM ^
i know i'll get negged for this but i mean it in a gentle and loving way: what the folks in this thread are describing is "having basic adult-level self-management skills" and i have been hoping to hear some of this talk from our fandom for a while.
proud of us, we're growing up.
December 17th, 2019 at 1:44 PM ^
Fuck you! You prick! You infant! All of this is unacceptable! I bet you are in favor of participation trophies! I HATE YOU and I HATE MYSELF!
December 17th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
lol @ "you infant!"
when i was like four and my brother was 12 he used to call me "baby-infant-gay-girl" which was apparently the ultimate insult in the early 90's as i still remember it as devastating today, the supreme coup-de-grace / finishing move
December 17th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
December 17th, 2019 at 8:34 AM ^
We got JJ McCarthy coming in the following year, so I think we will be fine if we do not land him.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:48 AM ^
Never argue with a Boner........we have JJ coming next year. Move on folks
December 17th, 2019 at 8:54 AM ^
I'm more concerned about the fact that he's going to OSU rather than that he's not coming here.
December 17th, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
No worries. He'll be starting at LSU in 2 years
December 17th, 2019 at 11:58 AM ^
Tate Martel says hey
December 17th, 2019 at 1:39 PM ^
I still say we should get bagmen to pay guys to not go to OSU. Give them money to go literally anywhere else. No NCAA violation for Michigan in doing that.
December 17th, 2019 at 10:23 AM ^
There was a similar attitude in 2012 when we didn't take a QB at all because we had Shane coming in the following year. So, . . . yeah.
ALWAYS take a quality QB in every class.
December 17th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
Lets hope he doesn’t drop like a rock in rankings like Shane Morris did by the time his senior year rolls around. He should have the inside track to the job since the 2020 QB probably won’t do much especially if one of Dylan or Milton leave.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:44 AM ^
So he signs with THE ohio state penitentiary, he'll be entering the portal in a year or two anyway,
December 17th, 2019 at 8:49 AM ^
Then he will transfer to an SEC school, win the Heisman and OSU fans will claim his accomplishment as their own just like they did with Joe Burrow.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:00 AM ^
So he just sat around on their team for 3 years and did nothing...ok.
December 17th, 2019 at 11:24 AM ^
Burrow has been with LSU for two years. He developed at LSU, not OSU. We don’t claim Ryan Mallet as our own.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
But we DO claim Sam McGuffie.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
Of course we don't. Ryan Mallet hasn't done anything.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
OSU should claim the 90 passing TD’s the past 2 seasons from Haskins and Fields though.
December 17th, 2019 at 8:55 AM ^
Off topic I know...but why the F is Tarik Black transferring?!
December 17th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
Doesn’t like to compete...just check those alligator arms during oSU game.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:08 AM ^
Board “consensus” goes in two opposite directions with nothing other than speculation at this point as far as I know..
#1. Tarik has gotten passed over by the young guys which almost certainly also means both DPJ and and Nico are planning to come back next year.
#2. Tarik knows that both his “Bros” are definitely out the door and thus has no strong reason to stay at M and can get a fresh start elsewhere.
Probably neither is “correct”. I do wish Tarik good luck but hope he avoids PSU, MSU, OSU in the portal so I don’t have to root against him.....Maybe Oliver Martin can get him an in at Iowa?
December 17th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
Possibility #3:
He doesn’t have a good connection with Shea. His entering the portal is his testing the waters because Patterson actually has a good chance at getting a 5th year.
This is also why Stroud is going to Ohio State, bringing it back on topic.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:22 AM ^
Shea is not even looking to get a 5th year.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Why would Patterson affect Stroud? He's not playing ahead of Fields, so he's on the bench regardless.
December 17th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Don't kid yourself, Stroud is RUMORED to be going to OSU for the same reason Fields transferred there: to be developed by Ryan Day. It hasn't happened yet though.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
He looked like he was playing "not" to get hurt. Maybe he needs a change of scenery, but he had the most drops, and the most, I'll just run my route short of the markers and I'll run out of bounds instead of running over this smaller DB to get the 1st down, this year than any other receiver
December 17th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
I would love to see him go to Illinois and team up with Peters ..
December 17th, 2019 at 11:30 AM ^
Ooh, that would be tasty.
December 17th, 2019 at 9:08 AM ^
Shouldn't this be an OT?
December 17th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
Why would this be OT? Stroud is a player we’re recruiting
