Practicing with the team, but suspended. Looking to become unsuspended. Believe me, when something happens, it'll get reported here on the e-blog.

Is it not reasonable to rely on the star system as a predictor of success at the college level and to be disappointed when a highly rated player doesn't play to his supposed potential?

to rely on the star system as a predictor. The operative word being predictor. Rivals rated him as a 4 star with a 6.0 rating. He was the #4 CB and the #44 player nationally. Rivals says "The ranking system ranks prospects on a numerical scale from 6.1-4.9. 6.1 Franchise Player; considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 25 players overall; deemed to have excellent pro potential; high-major prospect 6.0-5.8 All-American Candidate; high-major prospect; considered one of the nation's top 300 prospects; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team 5.7-5.5 All-Region Selection; considered among the region's top prospects and among the top 750 or so prospects in the country; high-to-mid-major prospect; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team... " http://rivals100.rivals.com/aboutrankings.asp?Sport=1 Scout has had him as a 5 star and the #48 player in the country. I couldn't really find any info regarding how scout rates their players but their About Our Team Rankings says "Talent - This category reflects the quality of players committed to that school. Teams must recruit difference-makers throughout their class to obtain a high ranking." http://www.scout.com/support/teamrankings.html That being said I don't think it's realistic to think each and every player is going to live up to their projection. Others will be much better...

He and his family had a meeting scheduled with RR but it had not happened yet. Hopefully, he gets his stuff together and he gets back on track. I still think he can be a good to great player for Michigan in the coming years.

He is not on the depth chart for Delaware State. Nowhere. Unlisted. And yes, "waiting to become unsuspended."

He's transferring with Lloyd Carr to start a new regime at Illinois. My proof is damning: Carr is reported to have been drinking "juice" at breakfast and is a known democrat. Obama's home state is Illinois. Boom ROSENBERG'D.
