Michigan was never matching UK’s money like Arkansas supposedly is doing.

Warde Manuel pulled a Jake Thaw. Almost blew the whole season and fumbled the future away, but managed to save face and remain composed and keep the future alive and hire Dusty who will lead us to a championship just like Jake Thaw

(This is not a serious attempt at a comp)

Wow. I was so happy w May …

Can’t we agree that Cal to Arkansas has nothing to do with Warde. Cmon

I’m neither here nor there on Warde, but if it’s a matter of dropping large NIL bags on recruits: a) Kentucky, b) Arkansas, c) Michigan - which one doesn’t belong? Maybe Cal would just never come here with our NIL situation?

Cal going to Arkansas shouldn’t make you feel any better or any worse about Dusty. Cal to Michigan was never happening. We have Dusty Al Gaib who has hired an amazing staff. I’m PUMPED

I am really curious who Alabama turns to if Oats goes. They have money, but they probably don’t have the pull to get a McDermott-type while it’s too much of a leap for a Will Wade-type.

Exactly! It’s Dusty’s fault he snaked the job from Calipari! Time to #FireDusty

It’s “close to talent” but all that talent can just go to nearby places that aren’t barren wastelands. This is like saying Nebraska is close to talent because it’s near Texas.

Sounds like Scott Drew will be the first call.

Guessing Tang would go right back to Baylor if that’s the case

Kentucky has two 5-Star commits from New York and New Jersey area.

Too bad Michigan doesn’t have an assistant coach who’s supposed to be really good at recruiting and has New York and New Jersey ties :eyes:

Oats just signing a new contract and getting a big buyout will be a major complication for this search.

You don’t think Kentucky would pay the $18 million buyout?

Brad Underwood unironically should be a top candidate, right?

That 18 mil is maybe not a great use of resources if you have other slightly worse options (Brad Underwood).

Boogie Fland, welcome to Michigan :part_alternation_mark:
