This is kind of old and therefore may not qualify as news, but apparently safety Avery Walls REALLY liked Michigan on his visit. Check out these quotes from an interview with another blue-chip, five-star defensive end Ray Drew:
"Yes sir, because I'm talking to a couple players that are being recruited by Michigan, like Avery Walls. I've had a chance to befriend him. We've been talking about them and he's been talking about how Michigan is a place I need to check out, and maybe set up an official with him so we can get up there at the same time. We're good friends now and we talk on the phone. He's trying to recruit me there I guess (laughing)."
Walls apparently has very strong feelings for the Wolverines, and Drew can certainly see that and it gives the Maize and Blue another card to play.
"He just told me he really liked it a lot and he told me it's down to... Wait, I can't say that (laughing). He really likes Michigan, I'll put it that way, he really likes Michigan. It's a place he'd like me to get up and see and give a chance to. If he went there he wouldn't mind me being a teammate up there with him."
Should Walls become a Wolverine, it'would certainly have an impact on Drew.
"Yes sir, because one thing you have to look at going into this is seeing the type of people you'd be surrounded with. With me knowing Avery pretty well, that's got to be a plus because I know I'd be around good people."
That, granted, is from an article at the end of June...but did the rest of you know how much Walls liked Michigan? He's practically recruiting for us.
Badass.
I am so sorry RR is so under the gun, because I keep hearing good things about how recruits feel about their trips to Michigan. I believed in RR when they hired him, and I believe in what he is doing now.
Once we get Michigan level talent in here again, I expect the wins to keep coming.
