Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood has been making headlines for the past few weeks. While other teams have their eye on the national championship head coach, Sherrone Moore and his staff are running behind Underwood. Will the LSU commit fall for their efforts? Michigan has faced a serious quarterback problem this season, and finally, they are trying to resolve it. However, they still do not have any commits in the position in their 2025 class.
Many believe that Underwood will remain committed to LSU despite the Wolverines’ efforts, as he shares a great bond with coaches. He has even mentioned the same thing, that he has positively interacted with LSU on social media. Wait, is there a new twist to the story? Michigan insiders John D’Adamo and T. J. Ronin discuss Underwood’s destiny on their as they give an update on Michigan’s recruiting process.
We all know winning every single game is important as CFB is heating up; however, after East Carolina lost their game against the Army, the university parted ways with head coach Mike Houston. Talking about how Underwood’s chances of joining Michigan have increased, Ronin said, “One of the biggest reasons Bryce Underwood has interest in LSU is Joe Sloan, who has been offered the head coaching position at ECU, which is his former college; he’s an alumni of ECU, and by some accounts the interest is real.”
That’s good news for Michigan fans, as Moore and his staff want Underwood on their team, and they are trying out every possibility. He added, “I’m going to tell you guys right now if this progresses in that direction and Sloan does go to ECU, uh, my confidence level’s going up, and it’s probably going up to the 75-80% range and uh, it may and to be real with you, it may even be a Checkmate.”
John further discussed the percentage of Underwood’s chances if Sloan commits to ESU: “If Joe Sloan uh leaves ESU and goes to ECU uh for a head coaching job, we might be going from 65 to up to 69% nice and then up.”
Ronin joined and added, “I’ll probably be at 80 if that happens; I’m going to be, and I’m going to get high higher too for sure.” We are sure the Michigan insiders, the fans and the entire Michigan team are excited to see if Sloan will join ECU or not.
Underwood has not given any updates on his decision as of now, but his decision depends on Sloan’s $2.4 million offer. Houston’s annual salary was $2.4 million and Joe Sloan is among the early candidates, according to multiple sources. His ties with East Carolina make the offer more interesting for him.
Sherrone Moore addresses Underwood rumors and university vision
Currently, Michigan stands at 5-4. The defending champions have not delivered their best so far. Probmels are not living them. This Saturday, they lost to the Oregon N0.1 team by 38-17. Sherrone Moore has tried starting with more than two quarterbacks this season. Yes! They are the only team to do so.
However, on Monday, HC spoke on Underwood’s flip rumors and highlighted that recruits could see the big picture as they visit the university. “We’ll be fine… Obviously I can’t talk about recruits, but we’ve been, it’s been — I think they see the atmosphere. I think they see what has happened. I think they understand the vision that we explain to them and what this is going to be like, and they — it’s been pretty positive. We’ve gotten got some good commitments, got some good guys to join the family and look to continue that trend.”
Now the big question is: will Underwood still choose LSU even if Sloan decides to leave the Tigers?
