And we are back folks here on the Michigan.

On the Big 1050 WTKA online at the Big 1050.com, MGOBlog Roundtable.

And, Brian, you were making, I think, a very important point before we went to the break

and what I want to pick up on before we go over to basketball.

More important than I think any specific portal target, and that's portal strategy,

about how, what is your approach to the portal?

Well, so in previous years, if there's a guy who was a five-star

is leaving after a season or two, those guys are usually radioactive.

Like, you don't want them.

Like, there was that kid from Clemson who went to Michigan State,

who Michigan was interested in, who was a linebacker, who washed out at state.

Their entire secondary was guys who couldn't cut it at Georgia.

And so, but I think with the house settlement coming next year, with the way NIL is moving,

that a lot of these kids are hitting the portal, not because they can't hack it at their

current school, but they're just wondering if there's something else out there for them. So I wouldn't be surprised, one, to see a lot of these, like,

oh, this guy was a five-star last year, kids go back to their original school, maybe with a little

bit more cash in their pocket. But also, I wouldn't necessarily assume that these guys are

washing out, like I was assuming in previous

years. So I think those guys are more viable and you might want to poke around them a little bit more.

Now, you also said that like Michigan doesn't want to pay for guys who have potential.

And I think that's something that you do have to do a little bit of.

I mean, Bryce Underwood.
