Elite Sophomore Visiting Michigan

Today I was able to talk with 2014 Lineman Malik McDowell of Detroit. This past weekend he attended the Midwest Elite Big Man Camp and was named the top perfromer out of all the juniors and sophomores there. He told me, amoung other things that he is visiting Michigan this week. Here is what I learned from Malik.

Weird for you?  Signing to schools is one thing.  When  you get to be my age, people you used to know signing with the boston bruins, or getting ready for the draft, that's when life becomes real and you realize things.

Things like, I'm never going to be the NFL quarterback I thought I would be at this point in my life.

I'm 25 and graduated in '05 so it's weird for me to think that guys who were in 4th or 5th grade when I was a senior are now begining their careers at Michigan. And also that Denard was just little 8th grader back in my senior year.

While I think it would be awesome on multiple levels to have a nurse on the football team, I'm pretty sure it would be impossible, at least at Michigan.  The clinical rotations take up way too much time and they have to study on top of them.  It would be a lot harder I think than for a player doing premed like Garnett was talking about, because a premed student gets to at least make his own schedule and every science class has a hundred different sections.  The nursing school has one predetermined schedule for all the students and it's not really possible to be flexible on it.  I doubt that they've had to deal with such a case before, because I don't know that any football players have even tried to get a BSN but I just don't see how they could make it work.  I knew a lot of people in the nursing school and they're pretty rigid in the way they do things.  He would need Hoke to take a massive golden dump on the Nursing School to get them all raises or something in order to make this work.  He'd definitely be a favorite in the hospital since he could turn and lift some of those patients that normally require 3 people.

"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

I graduated from Loyola a few years back when it was one of the worse football programs in the state. Since then the closing of nearly every Catholic school inside the city of Detroit (St.Martin Deporres, Benedictine Etc) has caused a HUGE influx of talent to Loyola. Michigan would be smart to establish a pipeline

If academics really is important, Michigan is a slam-dunk winner here.  Of course, as we've seen, "Southern Hospitality" goes a long way toward changing perceptions.  I hope he enjoys his visits, but goes to the school with the best academic profile.  That, of course, would be the one in Ann Arbor.

As a nurse, I'm thrilled to see for the first time since following recruiting that someone wants to major in nursing. Michigan has one of the top 5 nursing schools in the country. With clinicals being a very big time commitment, I hope they would be willing to work with a football players schedule.

I have a several of friends who are nurses both guys and girls (and my girlfriend is a nurse), and I'm not sure how easily a person could be on the football team while doing nursing.  The nursing schedule is pretty demanding, they have to do 1-3 days of "clinicals" a week (1 as a freshman/soph, 2 as a junior and 3 as a senior), which is essentially just working a shift at a hospital starting at 6a.m. and going until 2-3 in the afternoon (however, as a junior, and maybe senior, it is possible to take afternoon clinicals, which more or less means your working from 2 to 11).  That along with the studying required for nursing school would be pretty hard to schedule for a football player, with concessions having to be made by both sides.

If he was a redshirt, could he spread the seven clinicals over 5 years? And could he do anything over Winter and Spring term, and do less in the Summer/Fall? 

This isn't the first time, btw, when a possible lack of academic flexibility at Michigan led to a recruit going to another school.

I went to Michigan for my first degree (political science) and I then went to Wayne State for nursing school.  I did the 16 month accelerated program, so it's different than a traditional path.  However, I applaud someone for wanting to go into it and play football at the same time, but I just do not see how it's going to be done.

 

The only way it could work is that at Wayne you could pick evening clinicals (3pm-11pm).  But the amount of studying and insane amount of time spent on making care plans will make this extremely difficult.  Care plans are basically a 30 pg paper explaining everything about a patient and their history, the patho of their disease, all their meds and everyhing about the pt.  Basically a worthless 12-14 hours on each one.  You have to do at least 10 during nursing school.  This doesn't even include all the papers and group projects that you have going on.  

 

I hope that the staff at the nursing school can work with the student athletes, b/c nursing professors are not the most lenient.  I had my jaw broken a week into my nursing program and had it wired shut for 5 weeks.  My teacher pulled me aside and told me I was lucky that she was letting me continue the program b/c "I couldn't do mouth to mouth resuscitaiton if needed".  No one does that in the hospital, they use the ambu bag.

Drake Harris is the going to be the top recruit in the state of Michigan by the time he is a senior. He was a Max Preps Sophomore All American, and they also say he might be the best WR to come out of Michigan since Charles Rogers. http://grchsfootball.com/news/drake-harris-named-maxpreps-2011-us-air-force-sophomore-all-american-football-teams

It would be great to get him for football or basketball. Whatever he decides to play in college.

than a football prospect at this point in his career. That can always change, but best WR to come out since Charles Rogers is a tall order since Rogers was a beast in college though he smoked his way out of NFL.

Man, for a kid to be dominant against the top linemen a year ahead of you, he must have 5 stars as locked up you can for a 2014 prospect. This kid could be an absolute monster, and he'd be a massive pick up for us.
