Ken Wilkins Commits To Michigan

"Hello" post coming soon; Tom caught up with Wilkins about his decision, which is good and just, below.

TOM: So, you made your college decision, which is....

KEN: Michigan. I chose Michigan today.

TOM: Ok, congratulations. The decision was between Michigan and Pitt right?

KEN: Yea, it was between Michigan and Pittsburgh. It just came down to how I felt last Saturday at the barbecue, so I went with them.

TOM: What was really the difference maker between Michigan and Pitt?

KEN: Just the way that Michigan is going to be on the rise, and I want to be a part of something special. Michigan was my favorite team growing up, which also had something to do with it.

TOM: Was that one of the messages that the coaches spread at the barbecue? We're on the rise, and get on board now.

KEN: Yea, they said it's a great time to be a Michigan Wolverine, and jump on board. I feel the coaches are going to do something special there, and I wanted to be a part of it.

TOM: What coach did you bond with the most?

KEN: Coach Gibson, I built a good relationship with him and Coach Tall.

TOM: So aside from the coaches, when you were at the BBQ, did you get a chance to meet with any of the other commits or recruits?

KEN: I got a chance to talk to Jordan Paskorz. I've known him for awhile, since he's from the PA area, and we go to a lot of the same camps. I also got to meet Kyle Prater, which was pretty good. It was pretty cool to meet some of those guys, and see what they're thinking about.

TOM: You thought you felt comfortable around them too?

KEN: Oh yea, I felt very comfortable.

TOM: Have you talked to Greg Robinson at all?

KEN: Yeah, I talked to him before the barbecue started, and we sat down and watched Denver Broncos film from when he was there. We talked about some of the stuff he wants to do with me when I'm up there. He said I can drop back, line up inside, outside; a lot of versatility stuff that a lot of other guys can't do. He sees that with me, for the quick position.

TOM: So, your recruitment is over and done. Congratulations.

KEN: Yea, man, I'm completely sold on Michigan. This is the school I'll be attending for the next 4 years. I'm going to start trying to recruit some kids now like Cullen Christian and Brandon Ifill. I know they've got interest in Michigan, and I met them at the Scout combine, so I'll try to get them up there.
