I didn't know until i saw baxter in the picture, but his high school has winged helmets... we got winged helmets!!!
January 12th, 2010 at 4:41 PM ^
errr... "our helmets' got wings!"?
January 12th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
Jeebus, if this guy is somehow correct and Dillon is the second coming of Marcus Allen, yeah that would be a bit nice to add his talents to an all ready potentially talented back field. Wouldnt it have been nice to have some Marcus Allen and his nose for the end zone in this year's game against Illinois? Doubt Marcus would get stuffed on the goal line in that game...

This kid sounds like an overall athlete that can help any team in a lot of different ways. He actual sound a lot like Tim Tebow, the High School version, but to have him in Rich Rod's offense as a running back he could really be something special. I'm excited to see this kid play, and really hope that its for us!!

Baxter, Forcier, Robinson and Gardiner on the same team in a "run-oriented" spread option system. That'll work.
RichRod should just put them all in the backfield at the same time and run a quintuple option over and over again.

Put Conelius Jones out there and make it a Fab Five. Break the huddle so that the defense never knows who's going to get the snap on any given play. The five QBs all stand in a semicircle behind the center and Molk snaps it to one of them. Foricer makes a read on the DL and hands the ball to Robinson. Robinson makes a read and pitches it back to Gardner. Gardner throws it downfield to Baxter. Touchdown!!

I completely understand this is a joke, but that would be an illegal formation for not having enough men on the line of scrimmage. Just saying...
January 12th, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
we could really use this guy....dose anybody know if #28 is used on our roster....i know alot of kids are in love with the numbers they wear in HS....im sure if he could wear that jersey it would be one step closer maybe to landing him
go blue
January 12th, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
Matthew Cavanaugh and Fitzgerald Toussaint
wear #28
January 12th, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
Fitzgerald Toussaint is the surprise in 2010 .. But i guess now that i told you its not a surprise anymore.
January 12th, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
that he commits to Michigan, is stellar next year in RichRod's offense and is a freshman phenom.
He plays a big part in "saving" RichRod's job by leading us, along with Tate and our stellar group of WR's (Devin redshirts), to a 9 win season.
We are ranked in the Top Ten in every 2011 pre-season poll and roll through the non conference season lead by our stellar offense, with Tate/DG sharing snaps and Baxter, Smith and Toussaint leading a scary running attack. Baxter's a Heisman candidate and our defense is downright scary under the tutelage of Greg Robinson.
2011 is a National Championship year, with Baxter losing out on the Heisman by only a few votes but ends up winning consecutive Heismans in his Junior and Senior years.

May I please have some of your Kool-Aid?
January 12th, 2010 at 4:42 PM ^
I would donate a grand to the University of this actually happens.
January 12th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
I would donate my body to the school.
January 12th, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
I would donate my body to Denise.
January 12th, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
No love for Mike Shaw?
January 12th, 2010 at 4:35 PM ^
Man I wish my high school would have had winged helmets.
January 12th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
Plus interest.
And then I'll be happy.
January 12th, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
Nick Perry too.

I'm just wondering if we can go a day without someone starting a thread about Dillon Baxter. I'm not criticizing anyone, I am just curious to see if we could actually do it. Personally id rather not think about how amazing he would be for us until we can get him to commit here. Lets let the good news come to us.
January 12th, 2010 at 6:58 PM ^
We need to be holding a prayer vigil for this kid. Unbelievable talent. Here is some video for your enjoyment.

1.offense is a perfect fit with his moves
2.depth chart is wide open for him to start
3.he seems smart like his would-be teammates at UM, who tied for 2nd highest SATs in public university FB programs.
4.Would have a chance to play in some cold, snowy weather, and the pros will like that experience come draft day
5.He will have San Diego friends already here as well as others he later helps us recruit
6.He will be playing with a smart, gutsy QB (forcier), whose showed signs of being special even as a freshman and even when injured.
7.Forcier’s running ability will take pressure off him from defenders and increase his yardage totals
