Tigers, We May Have Dodged a Bullet

Bryce Underwood: 'It's over for Ohio State'
Adam Gorney • Rivals.com
Bryce Underwood has grown close with Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden because they share some of the same representation so when the five-star quarterback was in town recently – and the Clippers were playing the Lakers – Underwood told Harden he needed to meet LeBron James.
The meeting went well enough, Underwood admitted he was a little star-struck and nervous which is rare for him, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
And then the Michigan signee delivered his cutting message to one of the NBA’s best-ever players and famous Ohio native.
“I just dapped him up and stuff and we started talking and I said, ‘I just have to let you know, I go to Michigan,' " Underwood said Wednesday on The Rich Eisen Show. It’s over for Ohio State.’ ”
James laughed off the comment but in the cutthroat world of college football, it’s no joke.
There is a new swagger to Michigan football with Underwood flipping late from LSU for numerous reasons. He played for the Motor City Wolverines growing up, staying closer to home got more important as signing day neared and he landed a $12 million NIL deal from Oracle billionaire founder Larry Ellison.
This past season was a gut punch for Wolverines’ fans especially on offense as the quarterback play was so pitiful that millionaire alum Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports took to his podcast to raise money for a top quarterback. Apparently, Underwood’s NIL deal will involve Barstool media in some ways.
After a disastrous start last season, blamed mostly on poor QB play, Michigan finished 8-5 and had some real momentum late in the season by blowing out Northwestern, shocking Ohio State for the fourth-straight season and then beating Alabama in the bowl game.
It’s Underwood time in Ann Arbor now and even though he dodged questions about getting the starting job on Eisen’s show, everyone seems to know what’s going on here. This is Underwood’s team and he has lofty expectations.
Asked what his legacy at Michigan will be, Underwood said: “A couple Heismans and at least one natty.”

I'll be watching the Ohio State-Michigan game. Should be really interesting!
Hope we get to play them next year in the playoffs (if we both make it)

It's accurate. Every additional dollar bill was an additional reason

agree. Not sure why this is alarming, but it seams like a lot of talking and exposure for someone who's never played a down in college. I've never seen anyone who talks this much and aligns with "celebs", that ends up being as successful as they think they're gonna be. And when they aren't, its somebody else's fault. Ben Simmons comes to mind for comparison.

Rather have him than not

He may be a star or he may be a bust. BUT, the portal additions to fill holes in our roster happened because we had plenty of $$ left from him staying home in Michigan

I’d be willing to bet that the donors saw what we could’ve had at QB and it opened the wallets up a bit.

Na, not at that cost. And that locker room will be a disaster.

5 star QB’s bust as much as they hit. There’s no such thing as a sure thing.

lol how is this dodging a bullet? if this kid came here and told some famous alabama fan that it was over for them now that he is at LSU we would be lauding him. if he said he would win a couple heismans and a natty here, again we'd be lauding him. but cause he flipped to michigan now it's an issue?
you guys are pussies

No we wouldn't.
This kid has never played a CFB game and he's crowing like a fool. Even after he does do it, which is far from certain, he should still keep his trap shut. Just let your actions speak for themselves

Why do you think the locker room will be a disaster?

Money. He flipped for money. Not knocking him for it, I probably wouldn't have turned it down, but let's not act like he's going there for anything other than money.

I didn't learn much from that article other than Underwood met Labron James and I really don't care.

i will say something big so folks can ridicule me:
if he doesnt work out at michigan....i mean busts by his soph year, if you call it that, and he's not a locker room cancer and tamps down his NIL, i'd want him to come here.
that talent is too good to say no to. let him fight his way to starter.
i don't think that's going to happen, but i just don't hate him like others do. he's out of state and he got 12 million.......Twelve million to stay home. you'd do that too.
