[MrNubbz]

Hell by then they'll all portal out to greener pastures like Rutgers or UT for instance

[FearlessF]

That cat was pretty good.

4-star Texas OT commits to Georgia over Alabama, Michigan (247sports.com)

I dunno why he wouldn't stay in the state.  I guess today state lines are almost gone.

[FearlessF]

he wants to win a title

[Cincydawg]

I've always said aside from legacy type players, the interest is in getting to the League ASAP and with a high draft number.  NIL of course is also an influence now, but I think for nearly all, it's relatively modest.  Winning a title is grand, it's why we play, but $$$$$$$.

It makes the Moon revolve around the Earth.

winning a title gets you to the league quicker

God Day is in such a weird spot.

God Day is in such a weird spot.

what do you mean by that? That he keeps getting his dickhole kicked in by Jeem but keeps recruiting like gangbusters? 

Day is going to have insane pressure to beat Jeem in Ann Arbor this year. Drop 3 in a row to Michigan and the Bucknuts will, well go nuts.

For most top athletes, it's probably:

1) Get to the NFL, so pick a school that maximizes your chances at that
2) Win a title, so pick a school that gives you a shot at that
3) Maximize NIL money

2 and 3 are probably reversed for some kids, but I think #1 is always #1

Meh.  Fans will go bananas of course. But the smart people know better.
Day has a better winning % against UM than Harbaugh does against OSU.

His boss( Day’s) also gives him credit - appropriately for his 2 wins against UM as offensive coordinator in 18 and 19- where they scored north of 50 both times.  And- for 20 when Harbaugh pussed out of the game.

You don’t get rid of a guy who is 45-6, with CFP appearances in 3 of 4 years, multiple Big Ten titles, absolutely loved by the players and families, and has the best record of ALL current active coaches against Top 25 teams.

OSU is a bit of a wildcard because of the new QB, but kind of feels like these are the best UM/OSU squads since...2006?
