It is absolutely the most critical thing, but I think you should just understand and expect the QB Portal Carousel as the way of the world in college football now.
Like for real, if we get Hudson Card, Donovan Leary and Cal Swanson will be some other school's dance partner in a future carousel.
As Hyman Roth said, this is the business we've chosen.
Hill will transfer after his sophomore year. maybe we wont be on the list next time so that we still have a shot.50/50 Hill will have another selection announcement before finishing college. It won’t be hard to do better next time.
I only got about half way through so I didn’t see if BB commented on the portal guys, but we have a safety transfer from Louisville, last name is Harper.Any guesses as to the safety transfer BB referenced near the end?
True, not upset we didn't land him, just feel bad for the kid and his parents they felt this was a cool way to handle it.Disappointing to not land Hill, but not surprised based off rumblings.
As for his announcement, kids will be kids. I refuse to get mad at a kid for getting his chance in front of a camera and having fun with it even if it’s in a way I don’t agree with.
I really don’t want to be the fan base that gets upset over these types of things.

...but you would hope that at least just one person in his entourage would have enough guts and clarity of thought to mention that just maybe the idea was not as funny and clever as he thinks. But it won't be the last time something like this happens. Good luck to the kid and hope he makes better decisions in the future.Disappointing to not land Hill, but not surprised based off rumblings.

??Harper the safety from Louisville.
I get that kids will be kids, but to me this move is super disrespectful to all the coaches that invested countless hours in courting him and being oblivious to the impact of that decision on those coaches. A low character move that is typically symptomatic of future low character moves....but you would hope that at least just one person in his entourage would have enough guts and clarity of thought to mention that just maybe the idea was not as funny and clever as he thinks.

I think Bret must have played against his dad.
I have no issue with his announcement. All the insiders and CBs predicted his destination. Which means our coaches knew. There probably wasn’t too much misdirection that offer recruits do on a routine basisI get that kids will be kids, but to me this move is super disrespectful to all the coaches that invested countless hours in courting him and being oblivious to the impact of that decision on those coaches.

Don't think so, because Harper's been named. BB was explicit that he can't name this transfer yet, so it sounds like it's still in the works.Harper the safety from Louisville.
Absolutely agree. We all knew the destination due to our insiders excellent reporting (as did all other indications); so maybe he tried something "clever" to gin up some publicity to his announcement. If anything, I think it unsettled Michigan fans for 48 hours, which is fine by me. What a strange way to handle the last 48 hours to his recruitment, but to each their own.I have no issue with his announcement. All the insiders and CBs predicted his destination.

He picked another school I think BB planned accordingly
Just got back from errands
Sorry to doubt you @illini0440 you were right about Hill, hopefully @Indy Illini Fan is right about Irsay lol
I will be a pessimistic and say no, when I get too optimistic about sports stuff it never happensIrsay will give Harbaugh whatever he wants … But does Harbaugh wanna leave … That’s the hundred million dollar question
Did Illini pursue at all? He’s a good prospect right? Guessing there was communication/ respect and wanted Iowa. Just didn’t hear his name mentioned much.
Might be my favorite scene in the movie. “I didn’t ask who gave the order”
My parents would put the smack down if I tried something like that at 18. However, I'll cut him some slack. Hope he does well, just not against us.True. I think if anything though it makes you wonder about the adults supporting these kids. At 18 your still need your parents and teachers to be parents and teachers. Setting up a big ego inflation event doesn't seem like a long term good. Maybe I'm just old and grumpy now idk
Hilarious! Kid's got style!
