I like Carter Smith and hate to lose him, but he is 2-3 years away from being a starter in my opinion, so losing him is worth the risk to flip Underwood! If Michigan doesn't get Underwood, they would have to go in the portal for a QB anyway!
Davis Warren is QB #1 next season. Jadyn Davis is QB#2. In 2026, Davis takes over reigns and Brady Hart is #2. Its all good. Davis Warren will be really good next year, especially with Orji at Tailback.
Guys...losing Smith sucks but he wasn't an elite enough prospect to get Michigan back to where they've been the past 3 years. Let's face it! In order to be a perennial playoff contender, you've either gotta recruit and pay for elite HS QBs, or recruit and pay for a transfer QB on an annual basis. Smith represents Michigan before JJ McCarthy! Moving forward, they've gotta at least be recruiting high 4 star QBs if not 5-star QBs. That's what JJ was, and that what it will take for Michigan to win another Natty.
I fucking hate this. We gave up a guy who committed cuz he wanted to be here to pursue a guy that only gave us the time of day when we wave a bag of cash at him and doesn't even want to be here.
Hey, after watching this season, we got to do something. If we had a QB on this roster this year, we would be top 5. Our only struggles this year is the lack of consistency at QB
@kcy2898 and now we've lost our committed QB for 2025 Class, the only back to back Florida Gatorade player of the year, to pure a guy that already spurred us once, might do it again. And if he drags out this bidding war til NSD we also miss out on the winter portal where the top transfer QBs are at and next year's QB situation looks even worse than this years.
Not shocked about this. We were gunning too hard for Underwood. He felt like an afterthought, which he was. All the talk is for Underwood, not because of his talent, but he's also a domino.
I like that Carter looks like a tough kid he looks like a gamer with grit, but he also looks to be a project. Michigan's problem in the QB room it seems to be a room full of projects. I wish Carter well on his journey, he'll do fine
@@jeromelewis4677 Exactly. Carter Smith is a talented QB that WANTED to be here. I’d rather us focus on our talented recruits that want to be here instead of Bryce Underwood who has shown he doesn’t want to be here.
Ummm, does anyone care about how Jadyn may feel about all of this. He's essentially a 5 Star, who got his Classification lowered because he chose Michigan. Anyone care how he might feel about all of this chasing Bryce, and people feeling like we have nothing, if Bryce doesn't commit? I know I do. We all wanted them to get Jadyn, they got him, and because he "wasn't ready" to start out of the Gate, everyone is acting like he isn't even on the Roster.
Davis could have an advantage over anyone for QB1 next year if he has some snaps this year to show potential. Going after Underwood may be due to Davis is not progressing as planned.
Well then Jadyn needs to tell his moms that he needs to play NOW and show what he's offering for the future... Otherwise his future might be the portal.
Bryce is not coming to Michigan. We better hope davis is good else michigan just facked themselves. Id decommit as well if i saw the guys i already committed to going all in on someone else.
Its good that Michigan is getting serious about NIL, they don't have a choice, but the game of college football is never going to be the same, and rooting for Michigan, Alabama, OSU, and others is going to be like rooting for the Yankees every year
First and foremost, we need Bryce Underwood. He is a hometown boy whose family wants to play for Michigan. And deep inside, Mr.Underwood wants to ball for U-M. Now Michigan has got a blue-chip top-10 WR. To complement BU. It appears that Michigan is getting into the # NIL. And UM will also break into the top 10 in the 2025 recruiting class! If we scoop up these 5-star blue chippers, we will return to the NCAA Football PlyOffs in no time. Always GOBLUE-NATTYUP🏆!
Carter smith was a development kid, he woulda been a competitor for the qb competition after underwood qould be long gone. We still need to stay on carter because hes still a kid that could play 2 or 3 yrs from now
Good luck to Carter, but let's not forget that he committed to UM knowing full well UM would continue to recruit Underwood and even said he wasn't afraid of competition. Smith is a great athlete but he's raw as a QB and would have to be developed. Brady Hart ('26) probably would have played before Smith
@@kyleskeins8553 delusion? Dude Michigan has one of the richest alumni and boosters of any school. They're finally getting around to NIL since harbaugh is gone. He didn't believe in NIL. The fact that Michigan won the last natty of the 4 team playoff format with only top 15 classes should scare Michigan's enemies. Imagine how well they will do if they finally pay players like OSU, bama, Georgia, Oregon and all the other elite programs. All the Michigan haters will be so mad! 😏🤣
@@AustinDashes that's delusion bro. Nobody cares about Michigan. You're not even a top 10 program in this century. You had a cheat the last couple years just to even find some relevancy.
Not to happy about losing Carter smith, but i understand....this staff is so bad that i wouldn't want my son to come here either. The thing is, you better land underwood because you run the risk of decimating your qb class
I know folks are mad but welcome to NIL era…..The QB room at Mich moving forward will never be this bad again. I know losing Carter sucks but BU is a generational prospect in state you fight to keep him home. If BU goes to LSU you can go in the portal and get one. I personally like the 2026 QB Florida kid he has IT. Hopefully he redshirt when he comes.
Why would any QB in their right mind want to go to Michigan? It would cost Michigan 2 Million per year for Underwood to overcome all the negatives for a QB at Michigan. Carter Smith backed off his commitment because he saw QBs didn't get developed at Michigan. It looks like the head coach that recruited him won't be there. The bad receiver room and multiple bowl bans hanging over the heads of the program
Thanks for that level headed take. The truth of the matter is that if Michigan, by some miracle, lands Bryce Underwood with a $5 million dollar NIL it's going to be real tough for Carter to get PT unless BU it's just an absolute flop
Word. If BU doesn't pan out, Moore will be in worse shape. He better hope Hart indeed reclassifies to 2025 of these first two dominoes fall the wrong way
Who would want a QB that’s afraid to compete for the job. No thanks. Whether we flip Underwood or go a different direction, clearly we’ve got the money now to address our QB woes. I’d be totally fine if we just end up dropping a bag on a QB from the portal.
Why would a quarterback come here when the coaches are already looking to replace him. Do you really think that Carter Smith would get a fair chance over a guy who they paid 5 million?
@ A couple reasons. The first being Bryce hasn’t committed to Michigan yet and there’s no guarantee he will. The second reason is Carter Smith is a development project. He’s a 60% completion guy in high school so he’s gonna sit a couple years, and he’s he will definitely have to compete for a job at any quality program. So why not compete for the job at Michigan first and if he doesn’t win it, then transfer to a school where he can play.
@@7782estesm "if it doesn't work then transfer" you act like these guys wanna be in college forever bouncing around from state to state and never putting down any roots
Everybody has an opportunity to get Bryce Underwood so I don't know why you guys keep saying that. Eastern Michigan, army, Navy or any other college in the country has an opportunity to get Bryce Underwood. So what's the point?
Lmao. Way to many ppl whining we lost a 3 star in pursuit OF THE #1 PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY!!! Like it or not this is college football now. Either were serious about contending or were not. I can assure u other top programs dont care either. Weve seen the same thing with osu bama n others. This is not the game from 20 yrs ago. N if michigan isnt willing to adapt they will get left behind. We have seen that play out live this season. Id rather go after top talent then hope we find a diamond in the rough. Hope isnt a plan for success. N if u want top talent unfortunately ur going to have to pay for it. Thats todays game. N if we lose a kid who "wants to be here" simply for recruiting other kids like any other school in the country....then dont tell me he wanted to be here. What he wanted was no competition. Michigan didn't hang a price tag on either. The market did n again thats todays game. I dont like it either. Imma old man n absolutely liked cfb better before nil n the portal. But theyre never going back. So we can either play along n try to win....or give up n only take kids who "want to be here" aka not pay. Which will clearly result in 4 loss seasons. Im livid its taken michigan this long to even somewhat embrace the nil. N they most likely will still miss out on underwood. N im ok with that. Michigan should be making a push for the best talent period. Or just quit trying. Go back to getting our teeth kicked in weekly while we tout how morally better we are. Clearly umich needs qbs. And if some guys are upset theyre looking n making offers then so be it.
He was never going to play. Wouldnt beat out davis and hart is coming the next year. Underwood or not he wasnt going to play. Honestly ive seen enough of the sub 60% completion project athletic qbs. (Milton and orji). If you cant complete 60% in high school its only gonna get worse in college. And dont @ ne with milton at Tennessee he was average at best and thats a very qb friendly system.
Not sure Underwood actually matriculates to Mich - flirting feels good, but it’s way different than marriage. We’ll take Smith in down in Tiger Town. Upgrade over our decommitment.
@@boschlosser10 now michigan cares about stars all of a sudden? Patterson was a 5 star. He wasn't very good. Hutchinson was a 4 star. Look at him. After a certain point the stars don't matter. Gary number 1 in the country. He wasn't even as good as Winovich.
Carter Smith is not a pro prospect nor 50% of the QB that OSU, Oregon, PSU, USC or even Indiana will field opposite of our Defense henceforth. Good kid, good athlete; stop banking on projects in lieu of higher end near ready talents
I think this is a big mistake. Because nobody's that great. He's never played one game of college football and losing. Oh, for sure. Guy over someone that they're not even sure on is plain stupid
I dont like thT Michigan is willing to pay 5 to 8 million for a high school Qbthat has not tooken a college snapi just think he's like Dante Moore just trolling Michigan an then we get screwed out on other Qbs
Who played last week against stronger competition.. had a miserable game. Completed two passes the whole game. You will not be missed because you never started
