Antonio Kinard

Submitted by jokenjin on

Rivals just released their preseason Prep School Top 50 rankings and Antonio Kinard comes in at Number 34. However, it does not say that he's committed to Michigan - it simply says "list." Does anyone have any updates as to what his status is?

The article about the new coach at Hargrave states that Kinard is a Michigan Signee. I hope he shows the same traits his new coach is raving about and he is able to qualify, we need LB's.

Are you keeping the Vlad profile pic and username? I liked him as a person but he never seemed to be himself after his high school injury. I wish him well in life but hopefully HaHa, LaQuentin Smith, Avery Walls, or all of them will take his spot(s). I know its going to be tough to pull HaHa away from the defending champs, but if anybody can, its the University of Michigan and its strong Dr. Phillips connection.

Knows how hard it is to get into Michigan and is playing it safe. I wouldn't considered him a Michigan commit until he's past the clearinghouse. However, that's just so I don't get my hopes up, I like the kid.

to get into Michigan if you play football.  It might be harder to STAY at Michigan, but AFAIK, the entry requirements are no tougher at Michigan than any other Big10 school.  You just have to be cleared by the NCAA.  (And don't bring up Dorsey, he didn't get into Louisville either.)
