Underwood, from nearby Belleville, conjured up thoughts of Rick Leach and Drew Henson, his predecessors as Michigan's top schoolboy QBs. They proved that success can come, but is hardly guaranteed.
I hope Underwood pans out for U-M but I never liked chasing players who didn’t want to be there. If they didn’t bleed Maize and Blue they seem suspect to me. The RichRod years was an object lesson of pursuing players who had no idea about the rivalry with ohio, with sparty, with Minnesota, and with the Big Ten.
Yeah, I'm with you on all of that, Brian. I found over the years of recruiting coverage that players who changed their minds didn't have a high rate of success. But these are different times that way.
