Recruiting Couple things on Underwood

The more public things become, the less optimistic I am that he flips to Michigan. I know some people aren’t pleased with how public things have gotten as the story has snowballed quite a bit. I take blame but I have a job to do.

As for NIL numbers, I won’t be discussing it. Surveyed multiple people and there doesn’t seem to be a consensus number, have mostly heard less than any public figure out there currently. Also, if he’s as good as advertised, any deal he signs will be prorated to three years. I’m not going to pocket watch and speculate on figures and that’s largely going to be the way I do business moving forward. The numbers almost always never line up anyway.

LIVE THREAD: Michigan vs. TCU

Michigan is set to take on TCU at Crisler Center tonight at 6 p.m. The Wolverines enter the contest 2-1 and are looking to bounce back after a 72-70 loss to Wake Forest.

TCU is 3-0 on the season, but it heads into the game ranked just 53rd in the KenPom rankings.

The Wolverines are 6.5-point favorites, according to ESPN. It's a clean availability report for the Wolverines for the first time all year.

6 p.m. tip on FS1.

My official “stance” on Bryce Underwood coverage moving forward…

Tonight and the silliness of a deleted story continues to drive the point home that I am going to let things play out.

With that being said, I am not going to make any further stories, no new threads (outside of this one 😜) or anything of the like until something official happens one way or the other.

I could absolutely sell my soul for clicks and milk the crap out of this thing but you all don’t deserve that and that’s not just not how I am going to do things.

That’s not to say I won’t make comments in threads nor am I saying you guys can’t make threads on your own, I just won’t add anything until I get something officially official.

For now, we wait…

Thank you, Den

I'll tell you what, this Underwood saga has been just another one of those things we all grind our way through together.
Josh and I have to spend way more time than we'd like in the social media sphere, and man, emotions are wild right now.

I just hope you all know much we appreciate you, and this community we've built together. I think this Bryce stuff has just been another clear marker and representation of the type of coverage we do here, and I hope that resonates with all of you. But I have to admit, it is kind of frustrating to see Josh be right and not get his kudos in that sphere.

We love this community, but we also want to grow it with more like-minded people. We are doing our best to sell ourselves out there, and frankly just by the work we do every day, but we'd always appreciate if you tell our friends about us, post on social media, whatever. Nothing beats word of mouth, and we are just so damn proud of this place.

I know this has been a tough season, and that means not every day here is as fun as we want. But this should always feel like the local hangout, where we celebrate the good, and complain about the bad.
Cheers to this place! You guys are the best.
