What spending habits? They got some people who have never given to the football program before to shell out for a HS QB but that doesn't mean they are just going to be handing out blank checks to whoever now.

Im pretty sure plenty of people in the "know" got the vibe he was 100% against going to Michigan and wanted to get away from the state. The best part about this is when this is is all they get in the end, they aren't throwing big bags at anyone else, they'll get some scraps they can get to flip...

They are busy cranking the mental gymnastics trying to convince themselves and others that the kid who got offered the biggest NIL bag we publicly know about to date definitely did not go there just for the money. Just call it what it is, it's the game now so it's fine but don't act like he just...

Also if this fails as bad as it probably will, good luck getting these people who have never poured money into the football program ever before this to do it again.

I think this is a one time coup, the way things look in the immediate aftermath tend to back that up. We aren't seeing a run of upper level guys flipping there They have 3 projected flips The #17 WR also from LSU The #9 "ATH" from Duke (barely cracks the top 200 at #199 and the #36 CB (#372...

It's going to be hilarious when the OC next year is still Campbell. Also DFBIA continues to think the coaches or a "plan for the future" had anything to do with Underwood going there (well he's not even signed yet so....) https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/team-146-oc-predictions

Yep. I'm totally fine with not throwing bags at guys like Mathis & Merritt to keep them. I'd rather have a good group of HS kids that mostly actually want to play here and arent just in it for the NIL bag, then you can use NIL to fill the gaps with proven players in the transfer portal. That...

You gotta think there's no way he's flipping there without a nice chunk of guaranteed money.

GoBlow is a riot they think transfer portal WRs are going to be lining up to play for them. No higher level guys with NFL aspirations are gonna sign up to play for a coaching staff that hasn’t shown it can run a passing game that’s past middle school level…..with a freshman QB behind a...

You can tell they blew almost all of whatever new NIL budget they got on Underwood their new pulls along with him are going to be a just decent 4* WR, and poaches of a DB from Colorado and a LB from Duke. Nothing near landscape shattering.

Kid woulda never even pondered playing for Moore if that 12 mil wasn’t dangled over his head. Very good chance that if things go not so good (likely) next year he will take whatever money he can actually collect and bounce to another high bidder. This is the problem with giving HS players a...

Yep and it will help them ramp up their victim narrative “the NCAA witch hunt ruined our great recruiting class” rabble rabble.

I think they are overestimating Michigans ability to buy players as well. They got a couple of alumn to pump a ridiculous amount of money into a HS QB. I’m guessing the generosity isn’t going to be as high with other players at other positions of dire need. The immediate chain reaction impact of...

Some of them really think Sherrone Moore actually did something here

Pre NIL this absolutely woulda been a possible landscape shaking thing, if it was organic. With NIL it’s not though. This is purely a $$$ acquisition. You still have a coaching staff who has to prove they aren’t in over their heads, they had nothing to do with this. Underwood might bring along a...

Good but nowhere near elite WR recruit, I don't think Underwood is going to move the needle in the earth shattering way they think it is.

Are people really actually worried that this is some revival moment for them? They have a coaching staff who has shown they cannot even try to run a passing offense that's not middle school level not to mention they have to buy legit every other position as well with their lack of depth...

Can't wait for the same DFBIA who mocked Ohio State for "buying a team" to explain how this is "different" because he actually wants to be there and it's not all just about the money or some stupid shit.

I'd bet good money on him not making it 1 year, he might not even sign there if the NCAA comes in with sanctions. If he does play next year it won't be pretty. Even if they can build a ok OL through the portal, they aren't convincing any good portal WRs who have NFL aspirations to sign up under...

Doesn't matter, they likely had to give him enough money where he couldn't say no. Without a competent OL, running game or WR core it's likely Underwood will be a 1 and done at scUM anyway. They can act like it's some kind of "program changing" recruit all they want, but given the circumstances...
