UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

I knew this one was coming ......

4-star QB commit Carter Smith from Ft. Meyers Florida has DE-committed from Michigan tonight. Most likely due to all the flirtations with Underwood, who has NOT flipped from LSU, and has shown NO SIGNS of flipping from LSU.

Way to go guys! Keep scaring off the future. Now we have no QB committed for 25, and its ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that Underwood will STAY with LSU.

Just stupid. Incredibly stupid.

Brady Hart is next?

BTW, Smith has thrown for over 1,000 yards this season, and ran for another 400 yards. I think the stat board I read said he has 25 touchdowns.

Nah .. we can't use a kid like that ....

Maybe don't flirt with another girl unless you know you can land the other?

[WM Wolverine]

Or maybe some of that NIL money that's being offered to Bryce wasn't being offered to Smith?

What SHOULD have happened

If they really want Underwood, they should have made him the 'big' NIL offer about a 2 weeks ago.

Then give him 48 hours to flip, and accept.

If he failed to respond in 48 hours, pull the offer and stick with the guys you got

If we would have lost Smith AFTER Underwood "flipped" , then his de-commit would have been no big deal.

Instead, they've fhimmed and hawed, and tinkered around with the offer to Underwood, dragging it out, .. and now they lost Smith.

And they're not guaranteed to get Underwood. Remember, every time Underwood has been asked about flipping to Michigan, his response has been a laugh.

Such a bungled up mess

I think M would be well served to make sure they keep this kid committed instead of spending so much time on Underwood.

But that's just me.

MHSAA State Playoffs

Score from last night:

Detroit Catholic Central 35 .... Belleville 21

Why is this significant?

Michigan's "potential" 10 Million dollar quarterback lost.

----

I've said all along. This kid is good, even a very good QB. But he's not superman.

How does anyone, (including LSU) expect this kid to beat Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and/or Oregon if he can't beat Detroit Catholic Central?

To put that kind of pressure on a true freshman QB is unreasonable, I don't care who he is.

---

The 10 million that M wants to throw at Underwood would be better spent elsewhere.

IMO

Harsh, but fair.

Fairly harsh?
