Football Recruiting Visitors
I'm interrupting your weekend basketball excitement for a smidge of football recruiting news. There's a pretty good group of visitors in town this week/weekend, some of whom are seeing some football practices. One of them is a center prospect from IMG Academy (Cesar Ruiz's alma mater), and another is an itty bitty KR/PR guy named Wandale Robinson that Michigan offered yesterday.
Me like.
Great to see the boys: DT, JLew, and Delano yesterday. I can tell you all one thing for sure, they all think we have best 1-2 DB's and WR's in the country. They were hyping all 4 stud's to multiple NFL guys and other support staff.
Slippery is an understatement.
That ability to cut back without losing speed is special. I would love this kid as a screen/sweep merchant a la Eddie McDoom.
Robinson. Holy crap! Get that kid. Making people miss in a phone booth. Reminds me of another guy named Robinson...or, gulp, Barry Sanders.

I can never tell from these highlight films whether the kid is really good or the tackling is just really bad.
March 24th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
It's a combination of both.
Thanks Magnus
That little guy looks electric. When’s the last time we had a player like that? Northfleet?
Northfleet?
He meant Southfleet.
Hmmmmmm, hippee hash
I live about 30 minutes from where Wandale plays his High School team is one of the worst in the state and he carries that team. He is a legit athlete with legit 4.3 speed his uncle is one of the best athletes the state has ever seen. Would compare him to Jordan Lewis

What's his uncle's name?
March 24th, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
Lourdan Jewis.
So he has the elusiveness of a Ty Wheatley, power of a Leroy Hoard, stature and drive of a Mike Hart!

An 8th grader who is 6'6 and 350? Lord Jesus

I don't think Jesus was anywhere near 6'6", let alone 350 lbs.
In fact, considering He walked on water and floated up to Heaven, I'm guessing He was considerably lighter.

Son saw him at Spot’s. Glad he experiencing the fine cuisine of Michigan.
To maintain that weight without wings and cheese
Pancakes. Watched vid of him last night.
main course later. Thanks Magnus.
Looks like the quicker than fast type. A guy you want to just get the footbal. But I wonder what position is he. They use him as an A-Back more than anything to get him carries.
Do like the clips of him playing safety as he has no problem laying hits.
I would like to see Michigan use more true slot receiver types. It seems they're so intent on using tight ends and big wideouts like Black/Peoples-Jones that the slot guys who can do things after the catch get put on the back burner. If Eddie McDoom doesn't get the ball on an end around, he doesn't get the ball. Jeremy Gallon was a beast on tunnel screens in a pro-style offense, and I wish Michigan would use McDoom (or someone like Robinson) in similar fashion.
I saw the article on the 247 site and I was hoping his name was Speedy Robinson.
I'm bumping this thread because I added a couple more visitors, including 2020 OT Kevin Pyne, a top-20 player in the country.
