DJ Waller Jr. Has Committed To Michigan Comment Count

In a weekend filled with portal news for the Michigan Football team, they also picked up a class of 2023 commitment from DB D'Juan (DJ) Waller Jr.:

Waller hails from Youngstown and is a teammate of Michigan commit Jason Hewlett at Chaney HS. Waller checks in at roughly 6'3" and ~195 lbs., marketed as a DB who is a bit of a tweener between CB and S. Like Hewlett and fellow 2023 commit Breeon Ishmail, Waller is another stab-in-the-dark type prospect, with his 247 composite ranking being outside the top 1,000, although some sites have him far higher. He will be an interesting Hello to get to in a couple days.

And there are 12-2 and 13-0 reasons, among others  that declares that the recruiting path being chosen here by Michigan is valid. There is clearly great value in picking off late rising athletes from late in their senior season. These young men have adequate talent and are resilient and committed-very coachable. And here, relative to the "elite" 5 stars that choose OSU-who are entitled prima donnas and coasting on their physical abilities but who are either uncoachable or the coaching staff is afraid of instructing them...these rising three stars are both willing and able to improve themselves-and put the ascension and well-being of the team first. The benefits in this regard seem to be greatly misunderstood and underappreciated-by most.

"Fliers" seems pretty disrespectful to both the players and the staff. How many fliers going to the NFL does it take to inform this fan base of the realities that are in play here??? Bringing these young men in has nothing to do with getting a foot in the door-they are expected to contribute to the winning of games.

Sorry I didn’t mean it to be coming off that way. Obviously the staff does its internal evals and comes to their own conclusions. I would just figure either these croots are late risers or the staff has struck out on their primary targets or we’d be seeing this commits be earlier to Michigan rather than flips etc. or they’re late risers.

A kid who played Corner with the growth potential to be a Big Safety or a WILL Linebacker? I really like what Harbaugh is doing with this class. We are quietly building a big, fast, versatile and  physical defense. Add Hill and Moore and you're cooking with some serious gas. Ishmail, Waller, Koumba, Bahr, and Hewlett all have growth potentials for positions that they aren't ranked at.
