I’d take this kid for the hair and the fact that he looks like he’s a junior in college already.

....is Lopati recruitment dead-dead? Or is there a pulse with Michigan in shambles?

My guess is, while Michigan’s season may be in shambles, their pocket’s are fine and that is the greater consideration.

That's an Underwood recruit.

Pocketbook and probably has a good chance at starting. If they kick Whittingham to the curb who knows but would bet we get outbid again

We’re gonna get a transfer anyway so

I'm guessing Notre Dame is waiting in the wings. They are bringing in a QB that's average (for them) and their sell for offense is many magnitudes better than Michigan right now.

At what point will we trust a QB that we recruited from high school? I know it's always win now, but if you feel decent about Clayton, can't we put that money elsewhere?

For the record, I think we have nailed it on getting transfer QBs. Even Paddock was a hit.

Also, I'd be extremely cautious paying big money for an unproven recruit like Lopati, as I'm sure he will demand more than we can afford for an unproven talent and also leave shortly thereafter for a bigger school/paycheck.

We can't afford to pay him to just sit.
