Congrats to the kid, wish him luck at Michigan, But wow, anyone notice the maize and blue Jordan 12 and 14s? I saw a flyer with all the Jordan's in maize and blue and assumed they were photoshopped. Seeing the 12s in maize and blue makes me drool. How great would it be to have Jordan brand release the 11s and 12s in Michigan colors for public consumption?

I met the kid and the family when he was in 6th grade - good people all around. I know his dad is a Michigan alum, so he's continuing one family tradition. (Just wish he had gone to his dad's high school alma mater, but that's another story...)

Ummmm...are we sure these kids are *committing* to Michigan as preferred walk-ons? There are several tweets like these, and all it says is that they're being given an opportunity. It doesn't say they're accepting or pursuing that opportunity.

Congrats Mr. Latham!

I keep seeing the different recruits from Divine Child and think "How the heck did they lose to Class C Loyola and get beat so badly by St. Mary's?"

Evan Latham, Liam Soraghan, Aidan Hutchinson, Theo Day...

It's kind of a rhetorical question but if someone does follow these teams and has some info, that'd be great.

Just a guess: the rest of the team isn't very good but their coaches are good at developing individual talent. Other than Hutchinson, the rest of the guys on the OL/DL probably are pushing 200 lbs or larger, less athletic dudes. The school only has around 100 dudes per grade so it is hard to eliminate all your weaknesses.

like he does something a lot of safeties fail to do, he doesn't let the receivers get past him on deep routes. That'll be good for practice on deep balls.
