I was going to go with Caddyshack we're waiting, but that's a good one too.

Okay, having read the quotes the OP me at to link to:
“Here’s the hard truth about it,” Vandagriff’s dad Greg said. “One of the things with Brock, one of the criteria for him, he wants to win a championship. Not just win.”
“Whatever it is, we’re there to win it all. Playing travel baseball, we want to win a championship, not finish fourth or 12th. Early on he said dad ‘I want to go somewhere that can win a championship.’ I’m like Brock there are only six teams a year that can win a championship. Five every year and then a run off. The five in our opinion are Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma. Those five are there year in and year out.”
Yeah, it’s brutally honest & hard to argue. Getting kids to realize that they can be the difference maker in getting a really good team over the hump to becoming a great one is a big part of selling any program not listed there. Some guys will relish the opportunity, others won’t. That isn’t a knock on them, it just speaks to what’s important to them. Best of luck to him playing for his home town team. Maybe UM will get to face him as the 6th run off.

Funny, since Georgia hasn’t proven it can win a championship in...decades.
January 21st, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
Yeah, I love that Georgia made that list but not LSU? Wtf?
And I guess QB development isn’t on their list since Georgia QBs get worse every year they are on campus.
To be fair, there are some very good reasons to pick Georgia. They are green, have pics of dead presidents on them and come in the form of a bag...
January 21st, 2020 at 8:35 PM ^
Do all the non athletes at Georgia get paid also?
So tired of the hand wringing and woe is me crap about how we are the only ones not hooking up athletes. We grabbed a #1 qb from Ole Miss and he sucked because our coaching sucks and our players aren't that committed to being champions.
But enjoy the trip this Spring guys while our fanbase laments the alleged money benefits football players at other schools are all getting.
January 21st, 2020 at 10:22 PM ^
If you don’t believe Georgia is paying players, then I have an Adidas contract for you - just give me small good faith deposit upfront and I will deposit the balance with your local church in poker chips.
Yes, Georgia is spreading the cash, their coaches are just too incompetent to do anything with the talent.
By the way, I have no problem with it. The players deserve to be paid and the sooner Michigan fires the money cannon the better. Hopefully Juwan has already started.
January 22nd, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
By what metric do you measure, "our players aren't that committed to being champions"?
January 21st, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
The same could be said for Oklahoma.
January 21st, 2020 at 7:12 PM ^
So you're your telling me there's NOT a chance?

0-2 delmar.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
I . . . declare . . . BANKRUPTCY!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
I love it how the dad was "We're not going to Ohio State. We're from the south."
Great. What happens if your pansy son eventually gets drafted by the Patriots or the Packers? Wimp.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
In many ways, OSU is from the South.
January 21st, 2020 at 10:27 PM ^
For example...if you're looking at the human body...OSU is south of the tailbone.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:37 PM ^
Then he'll be getting paid millions of dollars to live in a cold place? This line of argument comes up every time Michigan loses a kid to a better climate and it's pretty silly.
Also calling a kid a "pansy" is fucked up, but it's especially wack to be doing it b/c out of the many choices for where to go to school he's interested in living somewhere the weather is good. I grew up in Rochester, NY and lived in AA for 3 years. Winter isn't great! It's fine, but I also get going to UCLA or even LSU in January and being like fuck I'd like to do this instead of living somewhere the same brown snow is on the ground for 5 months and where if you go for a run outside your privates turn blue. Not mine, obviously, but a guy I know.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:55 PM ^
Is it safe assume you used the ? on the first sentence to note sarcasm - given that he could also (allegedly) be getting millions to go to OSU?
January 21st, 2020 at 7:37 PM ^
Consider the source. Larry's a clown.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:22 PM ^
Then he will get paid a lot of money to play half of his games in New England, probably only a couple a year when its actually cold or snowy.
But for now, when he gets to choose where he not only plays football but also lives for three years, he can stay somewhere warm if he wants to.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:39 PM ^
So you are saying you want the 5 star #1 rated QB in 2021 to go to Ohio St?
January 21st, 2020 at 6:20 PM ^
The dad meant to say his son wouldn’t go to OSU until he lost his starting job, at which point he’ll make up some bullshit excuse to transfer to that very school and start immediately”
January 21st, 2020 at 8:13 PM ^
Well I’d never play in Florida because o can’t take the heat. Doesn’t make me a pansy, does it?
January 21st, 2020 at 5:47 PM ^
At least Del Mar is great place to live. If you indeed live there
January 21st, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
You still cannot press this button?!?!
January 21st, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
I foresee mild criticism coming at OP.
How about a link or short abstract please?
January 21st, 2020 at 6:14 PM ^
The OP doesn’t have good “hygiene”.
And he doesn’t link good.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
Yes! This makes perfect sense now.
+1 for informative subject matter
January 21st, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
I can't believe he would say that about Alabama! Unbelievable!
January 21st, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
Holy shit embedding sucks. I just tried it fir the first time. My condolences to all those OPs that have tried and failed.
Edit: As always, operator error
January 21st, 2020 at 4:54 PM ^
How did you get the link to work?
January 21st, 2020 at 7:15 PM ^
Well..... my dumbass copied and pasted the address into the add link tab. What you need to do is copy and paste the actual URL from the browser itself.
January 21st, 2020 at 8:14 PM ^
Maybe it’s my IPAD but that used to work for me. Now the link will paste but it is not active.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
Come right out with the info he came right out with.
Nevermind, I think I already know. I'd already been speculating as much.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
Early on he said dad ‘I want to go somewhere that can win a championship.’ I’m like Brock there are only six teams a year that can win a championship. Five every year and then a run off. The five in our opinion are Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma. Those five are there year in and year out. Then there is a run off. Last year it was Notre Dame. This year it was LSU. Next year who knows.
I assume this is what OP is referring to
January 21st, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Though he committed there, Georgia and LSU need to swap in that scenario.
They may recruit better than most but they have about the same chance as Notre Dame and Washington or Oregon of getting back.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
Michigan....next year its Michigan.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
Not sure Georgia is a lock for the CFP every year, more like a "run off" team given Alabama eats their lunch most years.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:44 PM ^
Georgia has a wide open path to the SEC championship. If they could win the SEC they will always make the cfp.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:21 PM ^
"we’re from the South the fat ankle conference."
What?
January 21st, 2020 at 5:02 PM ^
Ankles tend to swell more in the heat.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
They're all pregnant down there?
January 21st, 2020 at 4:23 PM ^
His dad sounds like he has questionable judgement. I'll bet this poor kid is not accostumed to taking constructive criticism or had many the opportunity to fail very often and learn how to deal with setbacks. The transition to college could be challenging.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:32 PM ^
enh, maybe. More importantly, according to 247 this kid is the number 4 overall QB. The number 2 overall QB? One J.J. McCarthy committed to the good guys.
January 21st, 2020 at 6:18 PM ^
Your judgement on the other hand is spot on!
January 21st, 2020 at 4:29 PM ^
Great post, I just wish I knew what the hell you were talking about.
January 21st, 2020 at 4:33 PM ^
Its like click bait.....only the hook is bare.
January 21st, 2020 at 5:56 PM ^
What hook?
January 21st, 2020 at 4:39 PM ^
Sounds like the dad is trying to start a bidding war among the dirty 5. Good move on his part. He may get a new house out of it or a boat or both.
