sounds like former Indiana WR Donaven McCulley who hit the portal will be visiting Michigan this week and could commit to them during the visit. McCulley is a 6'5, 200+ lbs WR that was Indiana's #1 WR last year in 2023 but found himself in the doghouse and way down the depth chart in year one of the Curt Cignetti experience. 

Like that pick-up, Michigan needs some help at WR. Although I do think Tyler Morris is sneaky underrated and was not able to really show what he can really do because: QB's were so god damn atrocious. Also: Ronnie Bell's little brother might be a player at WR. Looked like a bigger, more athletic Ronnie Bell as a true frosh switching from HS QB to WR. He might have a future. Michigan is bringing in 4*/top 100 overall player WR Andrew Marsh in 2025 and are serious contenders for 4*/top 100 overall player WR Derek Meadows as well. 

Michigan absolutely needs an experienced vet QB in the portal, Miller Moss at USC would be ideal. Start someone like that as you slowly mix in Bryce Underwood and bring Underwood up to speed. Probably need an OL or two for depth. OL class in '24 was a monster class and '25 class could be one as well especially with 5* OT Ty Haywood looming and looking more and more likely he flips to Michigan- but not really a fan of playing a bunch of true frosh and RS Frosh on the OL.

Jim Harbaugh said that Michigan would never be a transactional program.

So much for that.

Jeem ain't the coach. He took the Chargers' money and bolted.

Michigan was getting lapped in the NIL game. They decided to finally sack up. It is what it is. You adapt or you die. The landscape has changed. Evolve or get left behind.

then they'll just have to just get Larry Page or Stephen Ross on the phone. Combined they're worth like 180 B's. Not quite Larry Ellison's 240.

IIRC there are issues with Ross paying into NIL due to his Dolphins ownership.  Same with the 2 MSU alums who are NBA owners

not sure about that- but perhaps NFL/NBA have rules against owners supporting NIL.

He didn't really buy into the expectations. He doesn't like blocking and there were rumors that he didn't practice like he wanted to play. WRs for Cignetti have to block. Elijah Sarratt blocks like someone is trying to invade his house and he's blocking the entryway.

Yeah, it's not an NCAA issue, I believe it's an NFL/NBA rule
