Can't blame DGL for anything, stuck around for 2 years, played hard when he got the chance, just was never going to be option 1a or 1b for this team at this level.

Maybe he goes the Podz route and can latch onto a mid-tier mid major where he can get 30 minutes a game and outwork players at that level and be successful.

I have a sick feeling that our Michigan winning streak is going to come to an abrupt halt.🤮.
Hope not, obviously. But the vibe is BAD.

So where is wide open NIL taking college sports? It seems that every school will continue to up the anti to compete drawing on unlimited alumni resources. Eventually with no limits or rules and free transfers, every year will be a bidding war. Even if they stay at the same school, they would be foolish to not enter the portal just to up the bid. In the absence of any change in the rules, I would predict over 50% of the Div 1 players will enter the portal in 5 years. Wouldn't you?

I've been critical of Underwood based on overall performance, staff and player retention, and our defensive scheming and in game adjustments. But I try to give credit when credit is due... Props to Underwood for mending the relationship with Ty- clearly he was able to remedy some of the issues and has built a strong enough relationship with him to retain Ty. From what I've heard (more info as to what led to Ty redshirting), it's really quite impressive that 1) Ty has the character to forgive and move on and stay loyal. 2) Underwood was able to re-recruit Ty and convince him.

So after Will and KJ head for the draft we’ll have 8 slots to fill. It’s a brave new world out there.
Theoretically yes, but we only had 12 last year and I don't see the roster growing much beyond that, even if we could theoretically give out 15 schollies under the new(ish) rules. Realistically it's probably more like 4-5 guys that we'll add.

Brad continues to crush the portal. Not sure how he does it but he does.
