No clue how legit this source is.  Apparently LSU is paying him $2.5 million

I hope they do it I'd take proven kids from under performing programs. It worked for Booger with the O-Line and the Bucks/Ducks at QB and DBs and at least 1 DL

I would highly doubt all of it to be honest lol. 

That $4 million a year number being thrown out is based on Portnoy saying he'll pay $3 million a year for a QB- and Portnoy hasn't come out and said he's offering it to Bryce Underwood and I feel like Portnoy is the type who would DEFINITELY talk about that shit if he was offering the #1 player in HS that kind of loot. And the other $1 million was an offer from some dickbag obsessed fanboy named James Yoder who runs a YouTube channel with 20k subscribers and there's zero shot in hell he's got $1 million a year laying around to actually pay Bryce Underwood. 

Who knows what LSU boosters/affiliates NIL deal for Underwood is, but I can guarantee you that if Michigan's boosters/affiliates got their shit together they'd come up with a lot more money than LSU's could to pay Bryce Underwood. The question is, will they? I doubt it. 

But with Portnoy leading the charge and one or two other legit sources (not this dickbag Yoder) they could offer Underwood a package of $5 million a year to go to to Michigan. And he'd be a fool to turn down $15-20 million depending on how long he stayed at Michigan. Underwood is a 3 year and off to the top 10 of the NFL draft player imo.

normally I'd agree with you, but when you see some kids in HS that just have it....you just know. the ONLY position I'd be cool with paying huge NIL money for on a HS kid is QB. And that QB would have to be really special prospect.

You see how good Nico at Tennessee and Raiola at Nebraska have looked? And both got big NIL deals out of HS to sign with those teams. Underwood is even better prospect than either than them, plus the kid is a year young for his grade. Should be a JR in HS not a SR and he's still freakishly good and insanely talented.

does he have it upstairs? lots of kids check the physical boxes

Michigan needs a QB that has proved his ability against P4 opponents, not a highly ranked recruit  that may or may not pan out.

I mean they already share coaching staffs.  Looks like someone forgot to change his Twitter profile

I think it's Jadyn Davis time in Ann Arbor.

I agree. If he ain't better than these bums- even as a true frosh- he probably never belonged at this level. He's had a spring ball, fall camp, and half a season to improve. Time to see what the kid has because season is already over. Might as well get him some experience and build for next year.

[Temp430]

Michigan promised Davis a red shirt so he has to sit out at least one more game.  And there is another scholarship QB in the program, Jayden Denegal, that has yet to see the field this year.  Might as well give him a try since we’re grasping at straws.

[Temp430]

I think Michigan’s current staff has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that they can’t develop QBs.  They need to get out in front of that now and not wait until the end of November because the season is already over.  Bring in a new coordinator for the offense now and a new QB coach.  Anyone is better than what they have now.  Go across the street and get someone from Huron High.

Kirk Campbell sucks, no doubt, but you can't turn shit into chicken salad. Any OC/QB coach would struggle with the raw materials they have to work with at QB. Davis Warren is a walk-on who hasn't played a real game of football since his sophomore year of HS and not surprisingly....he looks exactly like what he is and he fucking sucks. Alex Orji was a 48% completion passer in HS....that is pathetic. Especially considering most HS teams run spread and the QB's get easy quick cheap completions. Orji just flat out can't throw- he's not playing QB at a high level for anyone other than maybe a triple option team. Jack Tuttle is 40 years old with three kids and mortgage and a vacation home. He got passed over at Indiana by multiple QB's which is why he transferred to Michigan. He's not any good and he's never been good.

IF Denegal who has been at Michigan for 3 years now can't usurp those guys....he likely sucks too.

Michigan lands the commitment from 5* OT Andrew Babalola. Michigan's OL classes in '24/'25 are stacked. Between Andrew Babalola, Avery Gach, Andrew Sprague, Blake Frazier, Kaden Strayhorn, and Jake Guarnera they have excellent tackle and center prospects.

Now just have to find a QB.....
