2024 Michigan Season Thread

"I'm home" might be the funniest announcement since Reggie White said God told him to play for Green Bay, who also happened to offer the most money

the money is obviously a factor, but Michigan being 20-30 mins from home has to be as well. it's recruiting and in recruiting distance to home always plays a factor. why do you think SEC schools always dominate the recruiting rankings? cause that's where all the highest rated players live- in the southeast.

also think Sherrone Moore is just a fantastic recruiter. he was before he ever became a head coach. and I think being a former player himself and a youngish (under 40) African American head coach holds some sway when he's in living rooms recruiting other African American HS kids and their families. if you had to guess, who would you think Underwood and his parents relate with more and are more comfortable with....the Purple Faced Rajin (fake accent) Cajun douche or Sherrone Moore? it's been widely speculated/reported that Kelly hates recruiting and there were many players at ND that he didn't even recruit/have a relationship with. he's not exactly a likeable guy.

And they've always paid the most

But Michigan was always 30 minutes away, that didn't change

Wow, not sure I love it considering the circumstances but Michigan trying to end their QB issue. What does Jadyn Davis do?

if Jadyn Davis couldn't beat out Jack Tuttle, Davis Warren, and Alex Orji even after he enrolled early and participated in spring ball.....he was never going to play here imo.

Davis will stick around next year and battle with Underwood for the job but he'll probably lose that battle, then portal. Davis is a little smallish, has a decent arm- not a howitzer- but decent enough- he has kind of a funky release/mechanics, and he's not very mobile. Underwood is 6'3/6'4, basically a proto-type build a QB in a lab with a howitzer for an arm, flawless release/mechanics, and is extremely athletic. Davis is likely done at Michigan.

Sherrone right now....crying tears of joy because this kid might've just saved his job and his ass if he turns out to be the real deal holyfield...

Underwood commitment already making waves for Michigan....

LSU commit 4* WR Derek Meadows now being crystal BALLZ'd to Michigan and expected to follow Underwood. Bama commit 5* OT Ty Haywood is expected to visit Michigan this weekend and possibly flip this weekend and follow Underwood. Michigan had a whale of a 2024 OL class and already have 5* OT Andrew Babalola, 4* OG Avery Gach, and 4* C Kayden Strayhorn, adding another top tier tackle would really be beefing up that OL corps with back to back whale OL classes.

Just get an elite 1st round talent QB and build the OL into a monster. Rest will work itself out. Worked pretty well with JJ and that OL crew for few years there.

There were rumors of a bunch of guys being ready to flip if Underwood flipped, I guess putting names to the rumors

Yeah, he's gone.  They will likely bring in a Jack Tuttle type as a backup, and do that on an annual basis.

Davis Warren is a walk-on who sucks. Jack Tuttle is 40 years old with 3 children and a mortgage and has never been good. Alex Orji literally cannot throw a football. 

I mean in all honesty if he couldn't even beat any of those guys out and get a crack at any playing time....he's probably just not that good.

Pretty sure they are still paying Ed O.

If they are willing to pay another buyout, they probably could have paid their top recruit

Sense turning into nosense

247Sports Michigan insider Sam Webb says Michigan still going to bring in a portal QB.

[FearlessF]

sounds like they need a 2nd string backup for the incoming frosh

Nick Saban set such unrealistic expectations.  Hell, even MSU fans realize what Dantonio did was nearly impossible in that era, and is completely impossible now.  LSU finished in the AP Top Ten once in the 30 years before Saban got there, and act like they are a helmet.  Tennessee fans have more of a reason to be pissed than LSU fans
