Dylan Rashada to Georgia

WHY can’t Michigan be in on these guys? If roles were reversed and OSU needed a QB, they would have 100% gotten this guy. They even picked up Bama’s QB when they didn’t even need one. You’re meaning to tell me that Rashada wouldnt have rather been the starter at Michigan than wait for a year at Georgia? Michigan shoots itself in the foot and makes it harder to win when it’s 100% controllable. It’s infuriating.

Are you suggesting that there might have been “behind the scenes” conversations?   Or, perhaps that certain “incentives” were implied during any informal chats that took place with “friends of friends / family” of his?

Or, perhaps that Georgia has such influence in the local community that they can force suppression and retraction of anything the Atlanta Journal Constitution writes which paints an unfavorable picture?   Or, perhaps - selective enforcement of speeding / street racing that results in injury / death?

Have you seen the pics of Beck (Georgia’s QB) and his Lamborghini?

So why can’t Michigan do that exactly? You’re drinking all of their kool-aid that it’s not a part of their “culture,” when in reality, it’s Michigan being lazy and incompetent with NIL because of good old Warde. Why would Michigan go after Zaquan and Underwood at all of top players are mutually exclusive from their culture?

Why can't Michigan get guys like Dante Moore and Rashad who want to sit behind an established starter for a year to get a reset on their career? Well you see Michigan doesn't have an established starter. Hope I cleared that one up for you.

Michigan just had a top 100 D-lineman commit on Monday. You’re acting like they are completely inept because they don’t sign the guys you want. 
If there is anything I’m going to trust Sherrone Moore on, it’s finding guys who fit the program. He built the O-line that lead Michigan the past three years. 
Michigan has proven they understand the value of the portal. Maybe they tried and the kid wanted to go somewhere else. Maybe they didn’t try because they didn’t want him. Either way, he’s not going to Michigan and it’s not because someone now has a smoking hole in their foot.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he recommits eventually like Ewald. All of these recruiting “troubles” are nonsensical self-inflicted wounds because we have some regents who hate sports that are keeping Warde employed and Warde promotes the money to go to the AD. It’s pathetic and only Michigan has “leaders” this inept.

One could argue that OSU will eventually get him in the transfer portal  when he can't win the starting job at Georgia and all the other OSU qbs transfer out when Ryan Day gets fired next November after another humiliating loss against Michigan.

Basketball had to lose big before getting on board with NIL (we did not get all those transfers for free). Enjoy watching football this year because when you look at the roster, we are falling off a cliff in 2025 and unfortunately, I feel like that is what it will take for us to catch up with the times.

Exactly. OSU is eons ahead of us when it comes to adaptability in the ever-changing college football landscape. Our “leaders” love to proclaim to hold to some stupid narrative as an excuse why we’re always ten years behind the 8 ball. You actually think Michigan’s recruiting is justified after winning a natty? Please

We "sh[ot] ourselves in the foot" by ... allowing a player from one school to transfer to another to school? Doesn't that mean every single school other than Georgia just "shot itself in the foot" too? That's a lot of shot feet!

You do realize that not everybody dreams of playing at Michigan, right? And that not all the coaches at Michigan agree with your particular recruiting strategy?

We just won a National Championship! Why not assume our coaches know more than we do about what they should do, and enjoy it? Yes, Harbaugh's not there, but if you're going to get upset every single damned time a good player ends up somewhere other than Michigan, you're going to be very upset, a lot of the time. Doesn't seem like much fun.

Thanks OP, this was a fun read. You made great points and I now believe Michigan doesn’t want to win. Thank you for helping me see the light. 

(This guy needs to rewatch the most recent CFP, I’m not sure he saw the ending yet)
