Jeremy Clark - nice article header over at Rivals

Back in June, when safety recruit Jeremy Clark accepted a grayshirt to Michigan, the initial analysis was pretty meh, and there was spirited discussion about whether there was too much negativity in his "Hello!" post. Obviously, if someone only gets a grayshirt, mostly has offers from MAC level schools, and has a two star rating at best, there is some warrant for folks to think he won't amount to much.

So, I was happy to see today's header/teaser over at Rivals:

Michigan coaches knew Madisonville (Ky.) North Hopkins safety Jeremy Clark was a good one when they accepted his commitment as a greyshirt in late June. It's starting to appear, though, that they got one of the steals in the 2012 class. 

I don't know whether or not there is more info in the premium area. However, the header looks promising. I'd love to hear from anyone on the ground in KY about how Clark is doing, and projecting for his senior year and beyond.

Also, if the coaching staff really is doing a good job of identifying and snagging "sleepers," (similar to Beilein on the basketball front,) this is huge. To get "can't miss" prospects like Kalis and Wormley and Ross and Jenkins-Stone and Ringer and Wilson is great. We take all your 5 stars. But we have all seen how a five star rating doesn't automatically mean five star play on the field. If the class is good from top to bottom, and has two stars (Clark, Houma, etc.) who actually way out perform their rating, well, we then have a stronger opportunity to do incredible things on the field.
