Roman Wilson Has Committed To Michigan Comment Count

Michigan adds their first Hawaiian in a minute:

Wilson burst onto the scene when he attended an Opening Regional and lit up the testing with a 4.37 40, a sub-4 shuttle, and a 39-inch vertical at a six-foot-even. He was the Alpha Dog per 247:

Roman Wilson - Hard to argue that anyone else had a more productive showing than the St. Louis (Honolulu, HI) receiver. Ears perked with great interest as word was going round that he ran a laser-timed 4.37 forty yard dash, and then he finished the camp with the top Nike SPARQ score of 124.59. His athleticism carried over into drill work and 1-on-1's, as he was simply too explosive for the competition.

He's also the Hawaii state champ in the 100 meter dash with a 10.6.

In the aftermath of the camp bust-outmost of the Pac-12 offered, along with Nebraska and Wisconsin. Family ties to Michigan won out over the prospect of a shorter flight and Michigan has its first outside WR prospect in the 2020 class.

That SPARQ score puts him in the around top 20% of NFL receivers. If he's actually 6' even, this is a huge get and I expect him to move up a lot.

I didn't realize Michigan was recruiting internationally.

This is very exciting, in part because of his talent and in part because of the numerous puns I've already read and will continue to see about his name,

Maybe it's just me, but does Roman bear some resemblance to Sparty?  Take a look at his picture in the 247 profile and compare that to Sparty's mug.  Sparty, the statue in East Perineum.  Not Sparty the mascot.

Wait till Rice's kid to commit and all the sparties will be here posting. They should be watching their own recruiting FAIL.
