Dude this is getting crazy. Just kids holding business hostage after already getting $3mil in 1 season with mediocre numbers tbh. Bullet dodged.

Portnoy is a clown. He talked mad shite, but after one freshman year he's done with the kid?

Also, so many people on here are stupid. If Underwood wanted to come here at what we initially offered him, I'd welcome him with open arms. He'd be the #1 overall draft pick with Kiffin.

This whole situation looks better and better that LSU missed out on him. This is going to be every year until he is drafted.
Have reading comprehension. The kid isn't asking for more money. It's a dumbass hypothetical that Portnoy is bringing up.

IF he was interested in actually coming to LSU, it would have to be a Dante Moore situation.

Bring in a 1 year guy like Chambliss to be the starter and Bryce sits and develops like Moore did when he waited behind Gabriel at Oregon.

It is literally less money comparatively than what an average person pays for toilet paper...

$12 mil for 4 years @ $3 mil/year. LSU offered him $6 mil @ $1.5 mil/year. He burned the bridge, just leave him alone, not as good as advertised.

No he did not. Underwood got around $3.5 million for this season. The $10 is for the overall length of the contract.

It’s Larry’s wife Keren Zhu. She’s Michigan alum. She just finds enough change in Larry’s couch to pay off Bryce.

But he can't write them out of his pocket anymore. It would have to be through his company and vetted by a clearinghouse.

These guys still don’t like to waste money.

Has nothing to do with whether they can afford it

Underwood should have learned after watching out the Nico situation played out. Had to go play elsewhere for less money than he was getting before.

There is some rumor that his circle isn’t happy with the Michigan staff and his development. He would certainly have to take less NIL to transfer but get better coaching. As I said in another thread he only threw 30 intermediate or long passes the last 6 games of the season. He also threw as many int’s as TD’s in that span.

Bryce Underwood went 179-293 (61.1%) for 2229 yards 9 TDs and 6 int. Doesn’t exactly scream “generational QB” to me.



There it is. I'll take a hungry and humble 3-star over an entitled Primadonna any day of the week. We got our Heisman winners in the Portal and not out of HS.

The young ones that are fawned over can't handle the money and personal status; it clouds their motivation and dedication to team unity.

I trust Kiffin to handle this stuff. He's one of the best and the time and place are right for a serious run.

Portnoy had a ton to do with it. He is the one that started a UM drive to get Underwood. He ponied up the first mil and some others jumped in. Ellisons trophy wife just allowed them to close the deal by funding it out.

Michigans offensive scheme is terrible, terrible. And their WRs suck.

If Underwood wants to transfer to LSU, we should be 100% on board
