ttun recruiting (all classes)

Michigan Wolverines prioritizing another five-star quarterback recruit, adding intrigue behind Bryce Underwood​

The Michigan Wolverines made a program-altering splash a few months ago, adding elite five-star quarterback recruit Bryce Underwood to their 2025 recruiting class. The move sent shockwaves through college football, as the team flipped him away from the LSU Tigers and proved that Sherrone Moore was a serious player in recruiting.

The Wolverines aren't done yet, however, and have their sights set on adding another five-star quarterback to the roster behind Underwood as they continue to revamp the quarterback room.

Ryder Lyons, the third-ranked overall quarterback recruit in the 2026 recruiting class, visited the Wolverines this past week and came away feeling like he was "their number one guy".

As soon as new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey stepped foot in the building, he began building bridges with Lyons, setting up the future foundation he hoped to use to land Lyons as another talented signal caller for Michigan.

However, that has raised some eyebrows, as they would have two back-to-back five-star quarterbacks, which normally could cause some controversy centered around the future of the position and inevitably point to someone potentially portaling out.

That's not the case here for the Wolverines. Lyons will be stepping away for two years on a mission trip. By the time he returns, Underwood will be entering his third year on the team and potentially ready to declare for the NFL Draft at the end of that season, allowing Lyons to sit behind him for a year before assuming the mantle. Assuming all things break right for Michigan, this would be an easy transition from one talented signal caller to another.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

If nothing in the recruiting yield loss equation changes, just loading up the top of the funnel will make a noticeable difference. If loading up the top of the funnel AND having a significantly greater volume of desirable recruits vying for limited spots is the net result, it will be a very noticeable difference as the staff should be in a much better position to pick who they want as opposed to years where they have had to reach to make numbers.

I very much appreciate the vigor that is being applied to the OL recruitment — and OL in general. I think that we all saw how critical the trenches are on both sides of the ball during this last run. I don’t believe for a second that Day isn’t / wasn’t aware of this. What I am curious about however, is what was the catalyst for the change. The ability to bring on additional coaches? Something with the new AD? Whatever it is, the direction seems right. I hope it pays dividends. I’m betting it will.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

There is not enough popcorn for this shit.

I can understand the NCAA having one arm tied behind their back while the legal case was being built. Now that it’s filed, I hope that we see action come more swiftly… but I’ll be completely fine with slow and harsh over swift and light… so, NCAA… don’t fuck this shit up.

NCAA Womens Basketball: Purdue At Ohio St

You ask, we answer. Sometimes we ask, others answer. And then other times, we ask, we answer.

Friends, we are living in the madness of March and while the Ohio State men’s basketball team has already closed the book on the 2024-25 season, the Buckeye women are gearing up to start their Big Dance tonight at 5:30 p.m. in a game being broadcast on ESPN2.

So heading into the tournament, we asked Buckeye Nation a pair of questions about the school’s two basketball programs.


We wanted to know what fans’ expectations were for the women’s team as they start their tournament run, and what they would need to get invested in the men’s team next season.


Question 1: How will the Ohio State women’s basketball season end?



Question 2: What needs to happen in 2025-26 season to get you back on the OSU men’s basketball team bandwagon?






Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ohio State fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
