Eamonn Dennis Has Committed to Michigan
Brown and fam will not be satisfied until the entire Northeast plays for Michigan. The latest is Eamonn Dennis, a Sainristilian ATH (RB/WR) from the Sainristilian neck (specifically Worcester, MA) of the New England neck.

Dennis had interest from super spread outfit Syracuse. He lists a 4.40 40 on his Hudl film, which is Sainristil-like against, you know, Massachusettsian opposition, which apparently is like playing NCAA on Rookie mode:
Dennis is also teammates with WR prospect Jay Brunelle, who is ranked lower but has Notre Dame hard after him as well as a UCLA offer.
Way to GoBlue!
I hope you menace the B1G!
Maizen?
It might be Seth’s alter-ego, maizepogon.
When will this trope be worn out? Who the f cares about Maizen at this point. Is it just that people want to be 'in the know', so they constantly reference him? Let it go man, let it go.
This is such a small world. I actually coached against this kid a few years ago in Pop Warner. He was #23 on the Worcester Vikings and I coached on the Manchester Sentinels. We could not beat Worcester because of this kid. Our first year coaching our kids couldn’t even tackle him. The second year we spread out our a defense a bit to keep him contained. We got him down a few times but he was pretty elusive and still did a lot of damage, just less. Than the first time.
Me and my friend who coached with me actually wondered what had become of this kid. Now we know.
But did your coaching career ever take off?
Lol. No. I just love football and I had just moved to CT at the time and decided to volunteer on my friends’ staff. We were a CT team that played in the Mass league so every other Saturday was a drive to Mass. And everything went well enough until they handed it to this kid. I am a engineer by trade and no longer coach pop warner. But I still get to see some of the kids I coached. They aren’t so little anymore.
I love some of these clips.
Saturday morning games on fields with no lights sitting right in the middle of the neighborhood in front of 100 people. Free admission? It looks like a Pop Warner.
Kid has some serious quicks and looks well built.
Holy hell he’s fast
Welcome to Michigan!
All these commits are hard to keep track of. Was this an expected one?
Yes.
I'm starting to wonder if people legitimately don't evaluate New England really at all. Like, I get that MA football probably isn't elite, but MA and CT are still big enough states with millions of people that at least a couple of them every year are probably pretty good at football. And yet it feels like we continue to see "super fast, super efficient guy with good hands" as a sleeper while the 85th-ranked kid from Georgia gets a 5-paragraph spiel from ESPN that breaks down to "probably has all his limbs."
There's crazy amounts of money up this way and a general athletic vibe, it's just focused more on sports like lacrosse and rowing than the normal state.
Zinter goes to BB&N which is stupid nice. It's less than a mile from Harvard and looks like it could be a Harvard satellite campus.
A lot of other guys go to "Academies" which aren't always as nice or prestigious, but often are impressive nonetheless.
Sainristil went to Everett which was so good other teams forfeited rather than play them.
There are schools sprinkled throughout the area that have incredible assets, it's just not enough to consistently provide for equal competition worth the scouting.
Yeah I really don't get it either. At what point do ratings services stop rating these guys like 500 and lower when they continue to outperform their rankings
In my high school you got to wear white cleats if you ran a 4.5 forty yard dash. We had one kid in my grade and a kid in the grade below me that got white shoes. Both were track guys and there was no one in the grade above me so at the time it seemed legit. Wonder how legit this kids' 4.4 is? It looks real. Is this the guy Sam Webb was talking about a few weeks ago who had a crazy SPARQ score?
I think this guy is going to be a great player, and he does look really fast. But I'm extremely skeptical of high school 40 times and even more skeptical of any time listed below 4.5.
Denard Robinson ran a 4.43 40 at the NFL Combine after years in a college training program and months of professional training for the combine. 4.4 40's are extremely fast. For a high schooler, they are unreal.
So, maybe it's legit? Or maybe he's more a 4.5 guy right now who will manage to crack 4.5 once Michigan's trainers get a hold of him. I'd probably guess the latter.
So you're doubting whether Eamonn be (that) nimble?
Not sure which Sam comment you're referring to, but this kid did test very well. SPARQ score of 111, 4.52 electronic 40yd dash, and an outrageous 40in vertical.
You might be thinking of Roman Wilson
good video...he reminds me both of Reggie Bush, and Tiki Barber.
Love this. We wouldn't even have recruited him two years ago; now he's a priority and a great fit for our system. Sure, the level of competition isn't impressive, but his acceleration and body control are excellent.
Welcome to the family! GO BLUE!
I don't see the Sainristil comparison. He's not nearly as shifty or twitchy as Sainristil (2:28 in his highlight shows him reversing field). He seems more like a one cut and go kind of back with good long speed. He's built a lot more solidly and running back like and has some decent power and balance. He could be a beast once they get him in the weight program.
Edit: He does look very comfortable catching the ball out of the backfield and from the slot, should be a good fit for Gattis.
I see more Chris Evans in his game than Sainristil. But any slot type from New England is gonna get compared to Sainristil
That 40 time gets 4 fakes out of 5.
his acceleration jumps out right away. wow!
Yeah, I don't know if he's really 4.4, but the kid just accelerates instantly without even looking like he's trying. He's got that easy running motion that pure speedsters have where kids can't even figure out what angle to take on him.
His 247 page lists a 4.52 forty and a 40 inch vertical at a 4/7/19 Opening regional event.
