QB watch: OK, hear me out..

Maybe I'm punch drunk after another long week but I just traded messages with Carter Smith and his only visit coming up is to Wisconsin. Are we to believe he de-committed from Michigan to go to Wisconsin and not because, say, Michigan sort of hinted (or more) that they feel decently about Bryce Underwood?

Just trying to connect some dots here but why let Smith walk if you weren't fairly confident on Underwood and then be left with no QB (unless going back to the portal for a quick fix would be in the cards). Just something I've been considering today.

Keep Bryce Home event at Bellville this Friday

There is a Michigan fan tailgate at Bellville this Friday to try to show support for Bryce and show him Michigan wants him. I can't go but figured I would share here. If you click the link below, there should be a popup with all the details.

So what’s the official and unofficial

Word on Will Johnson returning this year?

Dont like the vibe here but don’t have concrete info that says sitting out to protect his draft stock is in the cards or part of this situation. I certainly hope not.

Sure do appreciate the approach of the Grants and Grahams and Jake Butts and others who, once they decide to be part of a team (let alone accept NIL money) they go on that ride with that team to the end.

Bowl games are one thing anything beyond that well, I’ll just say if it were my kid, I’d be disappointed in anything other than doing everything he could to be on the field with his teammates.

Insider Another thing I'm curious to see play out...

Is whether Miller Moss from USC hits the portal after the season. He was benched this week.

I absolutely do get the sense that Michigan would pursue and I also get the sense that the interest would be reciprocated. On top of that, we're hearing that this wouldn't be an either/or situation in terms of the Bryce Underwood pursuit. Michigan would go after an experienced QB regardless if it gets Underwood or not AND if the pursuit makes sense. Moss checks a lot of boxes when it comes to experience.

Let's put it this way: He's definitely not the problem at USC.

Recruiting On Underwood and LSU

At this point of the week, I am expecting Bryce Underwood to make the trip to LSU this weekend. I DO NOT think that signals alarm bells just yet. Obviously, it's not great news and if he doesn't make that trip, the odds go up for Michigan. But being in Baton Rouge this weekend isn't the end of the pursuit. People I speak to aren't worried and were always expecting him to make that trip.

This means that LSU is going to get a final crack at this thing before he decides. I am still fascinated to see what happens with Joe Sloan and ECU, if anything. I know that would damage LSU's chances if he were to depart this offseason. So we will see what happens.

What I would say right now is to stay the course. Don't get too high, don't get too low about this weekend. Let it play out.
