An Interview with Lo Wood

Lo Wood, a teammate of Michigan commit Jeremy Gallon, is a cornerback prospect from the 2010 class who recently received an offer from Michigan. Now that his junior year is over, Lo has been working hard on improving for next year, working out 3 days a week, 4 hours a day on Saturdays. Michigan is high on Wood, and he's high on Michigan as well.

First some highlights, then the interview.

TOM: How did your junior year go, compared to how you wanted it to go?

LO:  I did well. It was way better than my sophomore year. I improved on a lot of areas, and that’s really what I wanted to happen.

TOM:  How do you think you did at the combine?

LO:   I did well at the Army combine. I went against some new kids, so it was good to see how I would do against them.

TOM:  Did you get a chance to meet anyone new, any recruits you've kept in contact with?

LO:  Chris Beckman, the receiver. I talk to him, but that’s about it for new people.

TOM:  I know you're already good friends with Ricardo Miller (2010 Michigan commit), what has he been saying to you?

LO:  He’s just saying I need to hurry up and commit, and how much he loves Michigan. He’s been trying hard.

TOM:  You're also teammates with current Michigan commit Jeremy Gallon, has he been talking to you at all about the process?

LO: No, Jeremy’s kind of quiet. He said they need more Florida kids at Michigan. I guess everyone in Florida is talking about Michigan, since they’re going there.

TOM:  Who do you currently hold offers from?

LO:  Michigan, Georgia Tech, FIU, Stanford, and Duke.

TOM:  Do you have a leader right now?

LO:  My leader is Michigan.

TOM:  I know your family is involved in the process, what do they think, or say you should do?

LO:  They just tell me to make sure it’s the right choice for me, they’re just letting me do the process myself. My dad does certain things for me so I can focus on school.

TOM:  Do you have a timeline for how you see your recruitment going? Some guys like to wait; others just get it out of the way.

LO:  We’re going to sit down and figure it out. We’re still waiting; we’re kind of waiting to see what happens at signing day, and make our decision from there.

TOM:  What's your next step? Have you planned any visits yet?

LO:  Sit back and relax for awhile, then we’re talking about taking some visits. Michigan will get a visit, we’re just not sure when yet.

TOM:  What schools have you already seen, and what was the most impressive part of any of them?

LO:  Florida, Georgia, and Michigan too. Michigan, just the atmosphere, the stadium, and the fans. I really liked how everyone knew who I was.

TOM:  Describe what kind of player you are, what are you good at, and what do you need to improve on?

LO:  I’m going to improve on tackling better, doing basic things, and little things in my coverage. I’m best at playing man to man coverage, and jamming.

TOM:  What do you think about Greg Robinson becoming the new Defensive Coordinator?

LO:  It’s great to hear that a good DC is coming. It sounds like he’s got great experience, and the fact that he’s won Super Bowls is pretty cool.
