how often has the #1 football player in the state come to Michigan

All this Bryce Underwood talk has me thinking and wanted to look back at how often the #1 player in Michigan ended up at Michigan. I went back to 2010 for the data
2010 - William Gholston MSU
2011 - Lawrence Thomas MSU
2012 - Aaron Burbridge MSU
2013 - Steve Elmer Notre Dame
2014 - Malik McDowell MSU
2015 - Mike Weber Ohio St
2016 - Daelin Hayes Notre Dame
2017 - DPJ Michigan
2018 - Kalon Gervin MSU
2019 - Logan Brown Wisconsin
2020 - Justin Rogers Kentucky
2021 - Damon Payne Alabama
2022 - Will Johnson Michigan
2023 - Dante Moore - UCLA
2024 - CJ Carr - Notre Dame
2025 - Bryce Underwood LSU

so for 15 recruiting classes, Michigan has only landed the top player in the state twice

Something quietly going on behind the scenes

is a B1G & SEC scheduling agreement. According to the sources that Greg Fluguar has, there is a scheduling agreement coming.

The logic behind this scheduling agreement is the networks are willing to pay a premium to the B1G & SEC conferences to play each other more often. This includes both leagues playing a 9 game league schedule.

This will prove to be a death noll to Notre Dame, forcing them to join the B1G. Two schools will need to come and Fluguar was told from his sources a month ago or so that the B1G Presidents will say YES to a MIAMI of Fla becoming a B1G member.

Should the ACC break up, Fluguar reported, again from his sources that Fla State, Clemson, North Carolina and Virginia will be SEC bound.

Bringing the B1G & SEC to 20 teams/schools each.

Either WARDE changes everything he believes or Michigan needs an aggressive pro FB Athletic Director who will fight to get FB & BB everything needed to get the best athletes.

!!!!! Each of the SEC & B1G is also going to a conference 13th or 12th game for a conference playoff for seeding.

On Bryce Underwood

Last year there was an opportunity with the departure of OC Mike Denbrock, but Kelly and LSU mitigated it by promoting QBC Joe Sloan to OC. Sloan was and is Underwood's primary recruiter.

This year, the open secret is that Kelly is not long for Baton Rouge.

In order for Michigan to get back in it with Underwood, the following things have to happen:

1. Kelly departs. He'll need an escape plan; he's not retiring or quitting without an offer elsewhere.
2. LSU does NOT promote Joe Sloan to HC.
3. Michigan offers a nonstandard NIL package. LSU's cash per annum is easily beatable but their overall offer is nonstandard.

We are trying, and he is listening. But nothing is going to proceed without a proper shakeup at LSU.

If I am Coach Moore....

If I am Coach Moore, I am keeping a real close eye and ear to the ground regarding Lincoln Riley's job status moving forward this season. The fact is Riley has seriously under performed at USC having a Heisman QB future #1 pick and not winning the conference then taking a step back with him in year 2 followed by this year realistically having a chance to miss a bowl in year 3. USC is not the type of program to buy time and wait in my opinion. Why not go after him to be the QB coach and OC? Him with Moore's approach to physicality I think could blend very well. On the other side I believe you could buy 1 more year with the defensive staff to preform much better with a competent offense at the very least. Michigan HAS to make an effort to have better QB play and development PERIOD before anything else in my opinion.

OT: Can we just get rid of Columbus Day already?

Absolute proof that the Norse were here first by nearly 500 years.

Besides, he was a horrible person with a very murky past, and he never made it farther than Hispaniola.

Science..the real thing.


I’ll be here Friday night to talk some football and about Illini HC Brett Bulimic, along with hitting back at Vegas so hard on the 2 games I was absolutely sure about because they featured my 2 hometown teams, the Eagles and the Lions games. Overs, covers, 4 leg same game parlays, props, 2 game teaser,..any way I could bet those games I did, and now I’m pretty much done for the year, because I can’t make over a certain amount of supplementary income or I’ll lose my SSDI. I’ll make small bets here and there, but I hit a grand slam on the first weekend I usually start, when you kinda know who the shit teams are by mid-October. I’m currently looking at 2011 Ford Rangers in my area for sale..

Hope y’all are well. I’m…me. Trying to stay in my hermit cave avoiding anything about the election until it’s over. I’m lightning quick with the “Last” button on my remote now after months of hitting it in milliseconds at the first flash on the screen of the incessant political ads. Still, I’ll be extremely relieved after November 5th.

Later all. Go Blue! - Argus Penoptes
