OT: Duke's Riley Leonard Enters Portal

For those keeping tabs, I've been saying this one is coming...and this is the one Michigan needed to be focused on.

All of the other guys are spread offense guys. This one makes a ton of sense.

The problem? JJ is probably not going to decide until after the season and no QB is going to wait that long and miss out on an opportunity elsewhere. For example, you can't risk losing a shot to be ND's starting QB because you're waiting for JJ, and then JJ stays at Michigan and now your best options are gone.

For that reason, *opinion* I think Michigan will likely have to "stand pat" and wait until someone loses a spring battle and then bring that player in to compete for a starting job. Not ideal, but that's the trade off when you're a championship contender! The bright side is our current rosters guys get more reps in the spring and we get a true evaluation on what we have.

Can a portal player de-commit before they enroll in their new school? Example, the school he really wants to go to does not have an opening, so he picks another school. Before he enrolls, the school he wanted to go to now has a spot, is he stuck with his first choice?
