A speculative mind could take this in a lot of different directions.

FWIW had heard Michigan’s plan was to announce this extension during the bye week and fresh off a win over MSU to maximize PR gains. But that would have looked … interesting with sign-gate ongoing https://t.co/o1B1SEmpFU

We’ll see how this all unfolds but this certainly can’t help Michigan’s recruiting efforts for the 2024 class.
