Unfortunately more CB’s for Brice to LSU

Just commit already, sheesh. Everybody already knows what the decision is.

It sucks to see so many QBs in Michigan go elsewhere especially one like Brice who seems to be a generational QB. I can’t put into words though how valuable it is to have a QB like JJ and the experience Jadyn Davis has gotten being at these playoff games. I think that will provide huge dividends moving forward with him. 

Considering he won’t be signing anytime soon, any verbal to another school can easily change by December. 

Meh, Hook ‘Em.

Can't resist the sweaty charms of ol' Purple Face himself, Brian "Mankiller" Kelly.

Hoping this is the ultimate troll job to purple face. But if not, that’s ok. Good luck!

It's clear that LSU is really backing up the Brinks truck for this class. If they get Underwood, they'll have the #1 QB, RB, and WR in the country committed in 2025. With Underwood's dad's control of this recruitment, I don't think he was ever coming here with the current state of our NIL. 

Carter Smith, you're the guy

I would prefer Carter Smith. Underwood is scared to compete against him, its so obvious. 

Ok cool, Go Bluex! 

At this point, especially if Michigan wins, it’s hard to deny what the staff is able to do and identify, and to turn this down means either you don’t feel it’s a good fit, whether it’s a culture fit or style fit. But it’s not hurting Michigan, good luck at LSU. Ask Dante how UCLA was, or Nelson at USC. At this point, I don’t care, coaching and integrity matter more than starz.

He won't commit to Michigan if he joins the portal in a year or two.  He will go somewhere where they will pay him to commit.  The culture of this program doesn't fit any players who are all about themselves.  I am not saying he is making the wrong choice if he commits to LSU, then possibly goes into the portal and commits to another program with NIL pay to play money, but if that is what he is after, then Michigan is not a fit for him.   Smith is a very good quarterback in the 2025 class, too.  He committed to Michigan, not NIL.  

It is what it is. Saw this a long time ago. Funny thing is you read what he claims to want and Michigan literally checks every box. Do these guys realize that JJ and Blake are 2 of the highest paid guys? Let your play do the talking. Maybe it changes in a few years. We will see. Too bad for Bryce. He’s going to lose 2 games a year and not win with Kelly. 

Has this not been a forgone conclusion for a few months now?

I never thought for 1 minute that kid was going to Michigan. Good luck to him. 

Whatever.  We pay for seniors, not freshman

I wonder where things stand in regard to transparency. I would be interested to see NIL package deals made public like every single other professional league in the world. No one would argue CFB is anything but a professional league (at major universities at least) at this point. 

Least surprising news of the recruiting cycle. I've heard all the arguments about money and stats and sunshine and pretty southern women and the cheating scandal, but after the last 3 seasons, I'll never understand how so many of these kids shun Michigan. 

It was always LSU. Have fun with you're famleighh. Hope your commit twitter video with Kelley dancing on a rotating stage with lights is as cringey as possible. That Brinks truck is hard to turn down. 

We all know how this story ends. 

We got our Florida “ Gatorade player of the year “ already commited ! We are good . To win that in that state as a JR is all we need to know . 

Committing to someone who killed a kid? Couldn't be me. 

Never believed he was coming here. Hope he enjoys the money he so desperately wanted. Don't really give a shit if he ends up happy or face first in a pile of cow manure. 

Would love to have him but more interested in guys that will buy-in and contribute to the culture that has been built since 2021. That is something that becomes a lasting advantage, especially when facing adversity, and can’t be replicated easily. We are more than the sum of our parts, which other teams like TAMU and LSU are not despite their supposed talent advantage. 

Plus, now that Carter Smith has been crowned Florida‘s Gatorade POY, I have more confidence that he will be the real deal. With due respect to Underwood, the competition in Michigan isn’t that good and we have fallen head over heals for the local hero several times because they are locally hyped (i.e. Drew Henson, Shane Morris) and not necessarily because their recruiting rankings are validated against good competition. Underwood may be that good but Smith doesn’t seem like a big step down if any.

It’s funny how we used to think that if we just won more we’d recruit better….
