Currently an Ap,St.commit.Has offers from Auburn,Georgia,Miami (Fla)
December 1st, 2018 at 12:43 AM ^
He grew up a Miami (FL) fan and I believe is their top option at RB in this class. Their former commit, Crowley, flipped to OSU, and another kid, McIntosh, who was their top target committed to Georgia instead.

There is something more going on here. Almost positive it has nothing to do with ZC, and everything to do with Gray. What's strange is the staff has a feeling they have a shot, and rarely do they get in late on a kid if there is not a chance. Jimmie Dougherty was talking to Jay about this a couple weeks ago on the phone, and I could not connect the dots at the time. Reached out to canes source who told me they would flip Herbert and sign Mallory well before each happened, and he said don't be surprised if Williams does NOT go to Miami. I tried to get more, asked if it was grades or character (do we have a Chris Johnson 2.0 on our hands) and he said young man is a great kid.
Reached out to AK as well and he does not think or WR coach will be the next head coach for the Chips, also does not think Pep will be chosen to run Maryland, but does expect him to be gone. Worth noting he said if JM does leave RoyR would just hop right into that spot, and has done a great job with the wr room, also said don't be surprised if more coaches currently on staff move around and up the ladder (within our team) this offseason. Not sure, but Mr. Bush, CP, Ron Prince, and Pep are all guys to keep an eye on.
Cheers

I took pause when I read ‘RR’ but then realized that was for Roy Roundtree and not the other RR.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
I'm with you. I read "if JM leaves expect RR to jump right in", and my heart skipped a few beats. Poor use of initials!!!
December 1st, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
I made the change, and completely understand your concern. You are not the only one with RichRod PTSD.
Cheers
December 1st, 2018 at 12:26 AM ^
Watch his hudl, I implore everyone. He's a good player. He's also Edgerrin James' nephew.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:31 AM ^
Looks fast.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:36 AM ^
DJ says kiss my Diagonal Blue ass I am coming to Ann Arbor.
December 1st, 2018 at 1:28 AM ^
Sounds like a near Miami lock then
December 1st, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
Post a link. If I had a dollar for every DJ Williams who played football....I don't know which one is which at this point.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
That offense looks like 2010 Michigan with Denard. What an athlete
December 1st, 2018 at 12:57 AM ^
The announcer is pretty funny.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:45 AM ^
Wow. Hi s acceleration and speed...
December 1st, 2018 at 12:38 AM ^
couldn't embed but here's the link
December 1st, 2018 at 12:43 AM ^
Thanks for the link.I tried but couldn't do it.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:47 AM ^
That's one of the fastest players on film I've ever seen. He looks like he's playing junior high kids.
December 1st, 2018 at 2:49 AM ^
Holy crap, how is he only a 3 star?
December 1st, 2018 at 12:56 AM ^
He has an official Georgia visit scheduled for Dec 14th.
December 1st, 2018 at 1:02 AM ^
well... I think this tells us all we need to know about Gray.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:28 AM ^
Agreed. But it also tells you a lot about the rating "services". A Williams and Charbonnet backfield, Giles in the slot and DPJ, Black and Collins outside, Schoonmaker at TE...with Patterson and McCaffrey running an RPO offense...oh my!
December 1st, 2018 at 8:06 AM ^
Certainly lots of potential/talent. Here is to hoping that we optimize its usage.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:04 AM ^
Hope you are correct.
Worried that it will be the 'body blow' offense, few RPOs, and a failure to fully exploit the abilities of all of the talented guys you list (other than having Charbonnet run into 8 and 9 man fronts).
December 1st, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
Gah! I want to neg you, but I can't...
December 1st, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
Why?
I am not wrong.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:37 AM ^
I wouldn't blame the rating services here. This kid is an App St. commit who's gotten all of his big offers in the last few weeks. A late riser.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
We had a lot of that this year and kept most of it on the shelf. Don't get your hopes too far up in a JH offense.
Big problem, I think, is you're going to see our best skill guys bolt as soon as they can.
December 1st, 2018 at 1:20 AM ^
Deveon Smith with Denard’s speed? Fred Jackson’d
December 1st, 2018 at 2:27 AM ^
Man, I hope that doesn't mean we're losing Charbonnet as well as Gray.
December 1st, 2018 at 10:07 AM ^
WOW.......Just wow!!
You must be a huge hit at parties. You take a news blip about a new hot recruit - one that fits the mold of a kid we have been told we are losing for weeks - and turn it into a thought that maybe we are losing another recruit? A soon to be 5-star that plans to enroll in a month and has been rock-solid? Maybe Zach is suddenly enamored with the non-existent run game and excellent O-line that a Kingsbury-Drevno combo will offer at USC?
December 1st, 2018 at 2:27 AM ^
Sounds like a near-lock for Miami, considering the Canes lost two top targets to OSU and GA.
December 1st, 2018 at 4:46 AM ^
I would be very, very surprised if he comes to Michigan.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:09 AM ^
If there was not a legitimate chance for a visit there would not be offer extended. Michigan is a serious contender if they get him on campus.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
Why are you so sure?
December 1st, 2018 at 9:16 AM ^
Michigan loves to run the ball.
December 1st, 2018 at 6:06 AM ^
Fast. Need some burners in the team.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:31 AM ^
The kid is more than "fast". Love that 17 year old, 5'11" 210 pound body.
December 1st, 2018 at 7:50 AM ^
That sounds a little . . . inappropriate.
December 1st, 2018 at 8:12 AM ^
When I posted this I was concerned that some reprobates would take this tack. Grow up.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
It's not inappropriate because we're immature. It's inappropriate because you are testing the limits of social convention. What you wrote is probably fine, but yes the language is also unconventional and uncomfortable.
December 1st, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
Be thankful you weren't that asshole that actually took severe offense to the reaction he got for requesting shirtless photos of Nik Stauskas back in the day. It was an epic thread born from a profoundly uncomfortable and creepy request.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
I feel awful for saying this but it think it was Ricky Doyle that dude was creeping on.
December 1st, 2018 at 6:17 AM ^
"Breaks 8 tackles with one shoe", lol, I found that funny. Highlight of the shoe flying away. Whelp, if he comes here I guess we can call him "Shoeless"
December 1st, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
Title was a little misleading. I thought you were saying he was signing with Michigan in December. Not nice to have us watch that tape then hear he's a Longshot.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:57 AM ^
What happened to commit watch?
