Is UM recruiting him?
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 PM ^
He was at the Michigan camp in early June.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 PM ^
i immediately thought you meant that Hayes got 3 concussions at once.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:21 PM ^
Wow, that is impressive. Is he the number one RB in the state of MI for the '11 class?
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:35 PM ^
With a name like "Justice" how could he NOT be the #1 RB in his class in ANY state!?!
Honestly though, I have no idea.
Anyone know if he likes Michigan?
August 23rd, 2009 at 12:36 AM ^
Too bad Justice is blind though.
August 23rd, 2009 at 1:09 PM ^
...but only if that is an Arrested Development reference.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 PM ^
a very clear idea if he is after this season, I think.
Right now I'd probably put him in that spot, but a guy like a Jeron Clayton (AA Pioneer) could catch up to him. Clayton would be an excellent fit for a spread offense.......
Clayton will be just one of a few guys I'll profile this week sometime. I'll be covering all the prospects of note in the Big Day Prep Showdown at Rynearson Stadium which takes place Friday and Saturday.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
Not fast enough, that guy caught him towards the end zone. Recruit the guy the caught him...I'm half serious by the way for whoever takes me too serious and gets all uptight.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:26 PM ^
since 1. he was a sophomore so he has time to get faster since football players' potential are usually not realized, 2. the DB has a great pursuit angle on him.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:39 PM ^
He'll probably be a Spartan...
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:42 PM ^
Isn't that a given seeing as how he's a Mich prospect?
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 PM ^
was said of austin white the same time last year
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 PM ^
Calibrate sarcasm detector.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:22 PM ^
he wasn't being sarcastic as he's tim and hayes currently is an MSU lean
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:30 PM ^
Obes'd!
August 23rd, 2009 at 1:14 PM ^
Except that was the point.
BTW I didn't neg you.
EDIT: See my post below. I guess this is what happens when a misunderstanding takes place.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:41 PM ^
That was sexy
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
who gets recruited. Not sure how he'll be ranked just yet, though. He doesn't have elite speed for a runningback, probably a 4.6 guy. Good agility and vision though. He is a guy who could convert to wide receiver eventually. Going to remind people of Austin White a little bit.
Also if you follow that link to youtube, check out his 2011 teammate QB Ryan Morley.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 PM ^
"Great White Hype?" Seriously?
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 PM ^
Austin White was open last year, and people just assumed he'd go to MSU because of his family history.
Hayes is actually an MSU lean.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:56 PM ^
Then I beg the boards forgiveness for my error. I suggest watching every Lou Holtz segment on ESPN back to back until my eyes bleed, as means of retribution.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:54 PM ^
his closing speed is impressive
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:58 PM ^
That LG stuffed that DE pretty nicely. DE tried to get position low and just bounced off the guy's chest.
August 23rd, 2009 at 12:30 AM ^
Powers Catholic is notorious for using undersized, but extremely quick, athletes on the DL. You probably noticed the pint sized NT trying to run Hayes down on the sideline. Undersized DE/DT is giving 50 at least, probably closer to 75+, lbs to the LG. That might account for the bouncing off. Anyway, I for one, am impressed by the elite level speed the NT possessed. We should probably recruit him. He can always move to slot, right?

Linked from http://jimstefani.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/class-of-2011-top-sophomore-…
Justice Hayes could well be the top sophomore running back in Michigan. He plays for a Grand Blanc team loaded with young talent, including classmate Ryan Morley, who could be the top sophomore QB in the state and talented Class of 2010 WR Tony Jones. As a reslt, his touches were relatively limited, howev er there is no denying his ability.
Just take a look at this YouTube clip, where he gives his best Sam McGuffie impersonation.
Below is an extract from my database on Justice.
Justice Hayes RB/WR 5′11 168 4.55 Grand Blanc Michigan
One of the top sophomores in Michigan……………Sophomore starter at RB and through 8 games he had 151 carries for 1,082 yards (7.17ypc) and 5 TDs and 20 receptions for 207 yards and 1 TD………..Changed his name from Will McDaniel to Justice before his sophomore season……………..A very quick and elusive RB who has excellent lateral movement and exceptional ball skills. A hard worker and an enthusiastic player. Needs to fill out to be an every down back, but has a lot of upside due to his great speed……………He was impressive at the June 2008 Southwest/Midwest NUC Ultimate 100 in DeSoto, Texas (RB MVP)………….Impressive at the April 27, 2008 Detroit NUC and was invited to participate at the Ultimate 100 NUC

Jumping over people is an overrated skill
August 23rd, 2009 at 11:10 AM ^
a competitive leapfrogger.
August 23rd, 2009 at 11:58 AM ^
For what I expected out of the video, it wasn't that great. It was basically him hurdling one guy on the ground and one guy standing up. Still impressive, but I don't even see the third guy he hurdled, or how it can really be looked at that way. I guess the person that made the vid thought the guy that dove at Justice from behind was being hurdles, but he really wasn't. Whatever, still a good play.
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 PM ^
What did you expect? Did you expect three William Gholstons to be standing straight up in a single file line and Hayes to jump over all three?
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 PM ^
I've heard that he is a MSU lean, but he will just be a junior this year so we have two years to recruit him.
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 PM ^
……..Changed his name from Will McDaniel to Justice before his sophomore season……………
Best stat.
He also clearly lacks high-end savoriness.
August 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 PM ^
Not to overly nitpick, but I only saw him hurdle two players in that clip. Still impressive, nonetheless!
