2024 Michigan Season Thread

[Mdot21]

former NFL DB and current ESPN personality Ryan Clark on Bryce Underwood...

“I came out of 7-on-7 coaching retirement for Bryce Underwood. I coached the team this summer because he was going to be the quarterback.

I’ve seen Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, you name it. Jayden Daniels. At this age, he’s better than every single one of them.

The way he throws the football, the way he moves, the way he leads, the sort of kid that he is. I was excited about what LSU could be in the future because of him.”

which is why I tend to lean towards the composite....seems to be more accurate in the long run. for example composite had Will as a 5*, #15 player overall, and #2 CB.

Now that I can see that argument and can roll with that mentality. 

[Mdot21]

landing Bryce Underwood was amazing and all and Michigan has serious momentum with other top rated prospects on the recruiting trail right now, but it's all for naught if they don't put a bullet into OC Kirk Campbell and DC Wink Martindale as well. 

any ideas on who they should go after for OC & DC?

a while before signing day

Bryce could still land a better $$$$ offer

I'd guess he's in, but I wouldn't be counting chickens

he's signing in 10 days and enrolling early....

nobody is out-bidding Michigan for him brother. Larry Ellison is backing Michigan NIL to the hilt because: his wife. Never underestimate the power of the pussy. 

Larry Ellison's net worth is $234.9 billion. He's worth more money than the entire state of Louisiana and Alabama combined by himself.

Underwood is enrolling early?  Maybe he’ll start as a 17 year old in the bowl game should Michigan neat Northwestern.

Was it Kayvon Thibidoux who did that?

yes, he's enrolling early. 

I don't believe he can actually play in a bowl game as an EE, but he can participate in the bowl practices. 

Michigan has zero shot vs Ohio State and are going to get absolutely pummeled so they HAVE to beat Northwestern because they really need those bowl practices to develop the young players and get Underwood some experience & confidence leading into spring ball. Underwood needs those bowl practices and spring practices if he's going to be the guy day one in 2025. And unless you get an absolute stud in the portal, Underwood has to start in 2025 because the QB's on the roster now are god awful.

Yeah, rumor is Ellison himself threw in another $2 million to get it up to $12.5.  I'm sure he's more than comfortable to keep going, if need be.  he'll be at Michigan

That is SO much BS specially with the Buckeyes O-Line woes.Unless someone went down for M I'm unaware of - I might find a local Book - sumptin' I haven't done since '09

Ohio State vs. Michigan odds: Buckeyes set as largest favorite over Wolverines in modern series history
Ohio State opened as a 23.5-point betting favorite for its regular season finale against Michigan on FanDuel Sportsbook. It's the largest spread in the series since 1978, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

Michigan alums Stephen Ross the owner the Miami Dolphins and founder of Related- the largest real estate developer in the US and Larry Page the founder of Google haven't gotten involved with NIL at all. Michigan gets those involved with Ellison they'll have three guys worth nearly half a trillion dollars combined to buy HS players. Not to mention the countless others they could try to draw on that are worth a couple hundred million to maybe a billion or two. 

NIL was probably the worst thing that ever happened to the SEC schools. Most of them just don't got it like that. Was a lot easier for them to buy HS players under the table with Bubba the Booster dropping McDonald's bags full of cash off than it is to get obscenely wealthy people with ties to the school to donate to NIL funds.

Jeebis this is just slimy and I'm not referring just to M but the whole direction this NIL thing is taking.Money should be spent on academics,buildings, programs for the greater good

quit sandbagging. game is in Columbus and Ohio State is out for retribution after taking beatings 3 years in a row. Oh yeah and not to mention Michigan's QB's/offense truly suck. 

Ohio State is going to Diddy Michigan. It ain't gonna be pretty.

[Mdot21]

if Michigan is going to be dropping bags now going forward and Nick Marsh hits the portal....yeah pay that dude whatever. Instant #1 WR pretty much anywhere in 2025 other than Bama or Ohio State who have the top 2 WR's in the nation right now....he's that good and that much of a stud.
