There is no real track record.
Kelly put DeShone "0-16" Kizer in the NFL. Cheatin' Jim's tCun track record is Captain Spin Pass who's hurt...and if I was a betting man, I'd lay a sawbuck on him flaming out without the aid of knowing the oppositions plays pre-snap.

Not at ND, but Kelly at LSU had Jayden Daniels who is doing rather well at Washington in his rookie year.

Was thinking about the QB at Florida (?) or FSU, who was told as a freshperson that (whatever school) was terminating the NIL deal (reneging would be a better word, just not legalistic enough). Also the guy in Utah who is sitting out the season after same reneging. Have zero problem with building an NIL contract with incentives, salary steps, etc. That (to me at least) makes more fiscal sense that dumping a $2,000,000 NIL deal on a kid still in HS (Bryce in Xichigan) to come be their QB. That falls just north of crazy, and maybe a tad short of simply stupid. Sounds like we've got a lot of wanna-be Steinbrenners....Go Bucks

You’re thinking of Jaiden Rashida who originally signed with Florida . And I think you’re referring to the QB from UNLV, Matthew Sluka.
I think the model with incentives makes the most sense when adults finally step in and put some guardrails on NIL. But until then, I fault no kid for taking the most money from any school. I love the Buckeyes, but if Tavien St. Clair is offered something like $10mil for 4yrs from say, Louisville, UNC, or some other mid tier school, I wouldn’t fault him for flipping.
But I just don’t see Underwood flipping for several reasons. One being I don’t think that that offer is for real. I also don’t think Underwood is foolish enough to see the talent gap that realistically exists between LSU and scUM. And even ignoring the possible future sanctions for scUM, they’ve never been able to acquire talent at the same level as LSU. Nor do They have an offensive scheme to maximize Underwood’s talents. he can star in the same offense that won Jayden Daniels a Heisman

Rivals echoing pretty much what I said on the previous page2. MICHIGAN COMES UP SHORT IN UNDERWOOD QUEST
Bryce Underwood
This can move rapidly in recruiting so I could very well have egg on my face after making this prediction. But I’m going to say that Bryce Underwood will stick with his LSU pledge.
After a trip to Baton Rouge for the Tigers’ most recent game, the intel coming out is that LSU feels confident in hanging on to its five-star quarterback. Is that just mistaken confidence? Perhaps. But aside from Michigan reportedly increasing its financial offer to Underwood, nothing has changed in this recruitment.
The potential weapons he’d have in Baton Rouge are way better than what is in Ann Arbor. The offense is much more quarterback friendly as well. The relationship with offensive coordinator Joe Sloan is strong.
Maybe Michigan just blows Underwood away with an NIL offer and he changes his mind. But the fact that it took the money to get him to even consider the school down the street doesn’t bode well for the Wolverines’ chances.

Fair enough, I liked him until I knew he supported ttun. I know the best pizza in the world and it's called Adriatico's (Tommy's is an acceptable answer as well).

Well reasoned and well said. Thanks for 'filling in the blanks', as my tired brain does in fact forget details. Still got the concepts correctly, believe. Anyway, took and ran with the $2 million man thing, although kinda thought it might be some newsie offering up clickbait. Too old and seasoned to look at a contact and focus on the sizzle, and not the 'gotchas'. Certainly agree that a NIL contract with incentives - making two deep, # of starts, TFL, catches or whatever is the way to go. Do believe that the tug of the home-state heroes can cause a looksee, and Underwood has to decide whether the career development path is better at one place or another. Probably more important than $ upfront. Wonder if LLoyds of London would insure a $2million contract. (not unlike insuring an athlete's legs or arm against career ending injury).

Wowzer. Young must like gumbo quite alot. And/or Meatchicken did something to PO this kid. As usual, have questions. Primary one is does this raise the bar (on a sliding scale of course), the value/cost of the #2/#3 etc QBs this year? Guess we'll see. Maybe Xichigan ought to take those money and spread it around a little, and get an actual competitive team. Right now (after this remnant class runs out of eligibility), there wouldn't be enough to protect this kid.

1. I wouldn’t ever take these rumored NIL amounts as completely accurate
2. This kid realizes that scUM will be sanctioned and doesn’t want to risk his career dealing with that mess
3. ScUM has done a terrible job of recruiting skill position players, so he’d have to play hero ball every week
This doesnt change any any NIL value for the QBs ranked right below Underwood, because, read 1. None of these kids really know what the other is making unless they tell one another. And I doubt Underwood and TSC are exchanging many texts(though I could be wrong)

Tough spot
Enuf money for life
Not gonna win a meaningful game in your career
Probably never see a league playoff cuz of penalties
And most likely a crappy OL since all your NIL went to the QB
