Now that Michigan football has locked up Bryce Underwood and some other players on the home front, although there is still work to do, the attention should shift a little toward the transfer portal.
While other programs have been out landing commitments, the Wolverines have gone at a more deliberate pace. The coaching staff just arrived in full on Friday. Player retention was key, as Kyle Whittingham said soon after he was hired.
Those efforts have paid off, despite some defections. There is still time to reel in some of those players, especially expected starting center Jake Guarnera.
