Cullen Christian: Starting CB For Army Game
In the defensive backfield, a pair of five-star safeties will get the starting nod in Latwan Anderson and Keenan Allen while the cornerbacks will be Cullen Christian and Christian Bryant to start.
Pretty impressive for CC.

A lot of good press coming out about possible/probable Michigan signees.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:02 PM ^
I hope Cullen has alot of good conversations with Latwan. That would be a great pickup as well.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
Is it just me or does he look approximately 56 years old in his profile pic on Rivals?

Reminds me of Greg Oden picks before the NBA draft. You expected him to say something like, "Man, I haven't felt this great in 30 years."
January 7th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
so far Greg Oden has been an old man in the NBA he is always injured
January 7th, 2010 at 3:10 PM ^
He must be related to Greg Oden.
Edit: Blaze beat me to my comparison.....dammit

Muhaha! My evil master plan is working.

Christian is like Turner from last year's game.. only next season he'll probably have to actually start and not redshirt.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:37 PM ^
Based on what transpired last year, had Turner not been delayed for two weeks on getting into camp, he might have been starting by mid-year.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
Excited to see Cullen starting hopefully he can contribute early for Michigan and it would be awesome if he could sway Latwan Michigan's way.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:30 PM ^
Cullen actually makes it in on time and isn't out of shape. No experience or not it would be nice to actually have some competition and viable backups. Too bad the Under Armour game didn't determine starters based on merit or we may have actually seen something worthwhile out of DG.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:06 PM ^
Are the Army starters decided based on merit? I thought they were selected "randomly" like the UA game.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
How is Dior Mathis on the West Team when he is located further east than Christian Bryant, who's on the East Team?
I guess it doesn't really matter, I was just confused.
P.S. Big congrats to Cullen! I'm excited to watch him this Saturday.

Nick Perry was also on the West team, IDK why they do it, its a little wierd.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:10 PM ^
Wow, those rosters are weird. There are a couple west coast kids on the east roster, and there's a kid from Michigan on the west roster. The east/west split in the Michigan high school football all-star game seems odd because east is Detroit and suburbs while west is the rest of the state, but it makes sense because the majority of the state's population is in the Detroit area. But those Army All-American rosters seem almost random at times.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:40 PM ^
The same comment I kept seeing about him in practice was that it became really boring whenever he was on the field because he would blanket the receiver he was on. Not surprised he is going to start.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
I can't imagine ever being as objective with ND as you are with Michigan. You are an anti-troll - sort of like Eric Cartman in the parallel universe.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:57 PM ^
Thank you Mr. Ford

OMG I'm quoted! I'm in your quote! 3

is it just me or does the west team seem stacked?
January 7th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
it is going to be good that the D can only blitz on certain downs. Whenever Powell is in the QB is going to have happy feet

It's always great to see a new Michigan man having success.
