if IW and Love leave, we simply need to dig a little deeper into the NIL piggy bank to keep Chase Brown
It's entirely possible that said digging induced this thought process on IW and CPatt's part.

Do you want the marginal NIL dollar to go to Chase, IW, or Hudson Card?

See why this is going to create greater parity?

I wonder (IF) IW and Love leave, does that mean we will go after another WR and also RB? i know that no one really knows for sure what is going to happpen after Patterson left, but i start to wonder.
I hope we are always looking to add more WRs. I'm extremely happy with Hightower and Bryant. But I think you can never be too deep at WR.

You're saying we don't have unlimited money to go around??? I shall hear no more of this!!

Hmm, given that choice, I'd pile all the NIL money into a wheelbarrow and wheel it up to Mr. Card's front door. The few bills that happened to fall out of the wheelbarrow would be gathered up and presented to Chase. IW would be issued a discounted Purdue t-shirt from Walmart.

But seriously, we must have a QB. That's gotta be the focus of NIL money, I'd guess.

Transfers always happen - Williams and Love are talented but are far from all conference or NFL material

- Williams had multiple fumbles in key games last season and by end of season was letting all punts bounce.
- Love showed flashes of nice running but has a ways to go blocking or catching passes

was the WR Lott the only recruit that had committed, but seemed like the staff and/or him, went separate ways.
I assume he simply didnt sign with anyone yet ?

JFC. Williams is a breakaway threat on every completion. That is a major gift. Yeah, the fumbles sucked. Hopefully, he can pare them down. Have Beatty field punts as soon as Williams muffs one.

The correct answer is Card.

I felt IW was under used and poorly used by Lunney.

But I also felt Hightower and Bryant really developed and I think George McDonald is an amazing WR coach.

so in so many words or less, until the player is on campus and attending his forst day of class. BB wont or cant talk about them as they could change their mind up until then.

But nothing stops the player from telling a reporter the news of his decision, as soon as he decides he wants the news out there, if I understand this correct

As much as I trust BB to get us where we want, I’m struggling with this “Devito might be back, we dunno, we are looking at the portal”… there better be a real story behind this. A team like ours can’t go into the winter without a QB.

its a process, and as much as the fandom wants an answer to this yesterday, the timeline is what it is. There is only so much BB and staff can do in this situation to speed it up.

Having both Card and Altmeyer on campus last weekend was certainly a good sign.

I agree it is an unfortunate situation. DeVito might scare away transfers yet not get his 6th year approved leaving us with inexperienced starters. Ohh for the Mike White days when we had Dave Wilson, Tony Eason, Ken Cruz, Jack Trudeau on campus

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.
If we had a hint, I think I might have requested to be dropped from the list. Not play the game..
 
#244      
I agree - this is not a Cliff Alexander type deal where the coaches felt good about it right up until the announcement and he does a hat switch.

Everyone, including our coaches knew where he was going - he was just trying to create some suspense and get his moment in the sun by leaving them off his last 5, I really don't have a problem with it
I do. Oh,,, I do.

Y’all don’t read between lines very well do ya?

Maybe not if one of the freshman pan out. Wasn't our other back out for most of the year too? We'll be o.k.

So got a guy barring any Carlos Correa craziness? Cool. Got to wait to January then. Just warn us of any untrustworthy potential leakers please. Thank you.

I think BB & staff knows they are not getting another year for TDV , and they and potential transfers in are fully aware of that .
Card or Altmeyer or whoever will announce their decision when they are ready , and BB will comment on it the first day of school in January after they have enrolled
