OT: 2016 WR Recruit Donnie Corley Game Winning Grab
Class of 2016 Michigan recruit Donnie Corley snagged a game winning touchdown on the last play of the game Friday night for King to win the Divison 2 state title. Michigan St is still leading but he did visit this past weekend. He is set to make his decision Dec 8th. Embed below and link to the story with a different angle.

did William Shatner make this post?

King was down 4, had to go 95+ yds for a TD in under 40 seconds and had no timeouts. That was the best game winning drive that I have ever been on hand for. Go Crusaders and Donnie Go Blue!

That was a brutal ending for my Red Arrows.
December 1st, 2015 at 3:04 PM ^
combination, that would be a big coup for the good guys.

That poor DB will have to live with that for a while. He can always blame his safety for not helping him out at all. Perhaps it will become a story he tells his grandkids long after Donnie Corley becomes a Michigan Legend who wears the 1 and wins the Heisman. THE_KNOWLEGE

Played perfect coverage. And even got a hand on the ball. Sometimes you have to just tip your hat a kid that made an unbelievable play. With that coverage, that pass fails 95 out of a 100 times.

I don't know man. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to let the best WR in the state get behind you on a last second hail mary. The bottom line is he let that happen. I'm just saying that it's got to be tough to be the one that it happened against and at some point maybe he'll be able to turn it into a cool story he can tell his grandkids. You know years from now when they're reminiscing about all of the greats to wear the number 1 at Michigan.

My Romeo Bulldogs smoked Cass Tech to win their first-ever state championship. And I believe Romeo only has 1 guy with a D1 offer, to Western. Really a case of David beating Goliath there.

Our football team is always awful. I doubt most people even know who we are.
December 1st, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
I have no idea who you are.

That's me.

[]_[] has a pretty futile history with just a handful of playoff appearances, no playoff wins and just two undefeated seasons.
If they got a coach that was committed to changing the culture and making football a priority, I think they could be great. Problem is is they're stuck in between Eisenhower and Stevenson, schools with established football histories despite Utica being one of the oldest high schools in the state and in a city that predates MI being a US state.

For the record my years on varsity we won by a combined score of 91-12 ;)

watched parts of that game on TV - it was a beautiful catch and great game-winning drive.

Crazy finish. Sat on the Lowell side of Ford Field. All game long felt that Lowell had the better "team" and better system. Twice Lowell got MLK to jump offsides for big first downs on a "shift" play where the line doesn't get set then shifts to a swinging gate formation. MLK was just too fast on the outside for Lowell DBs. MLKs biggest plays came from running one short underneath route while the rest of the wideouts went deep and getting the ball to the underneat guy in space. That final play was a microcosm of the game. Lowell did everything right, they were in the right position, they just couldn't match the speed and athleticism of MLK. Hell of a game.
That being said I'm shocked that Armani Posey only has Kent State as an offer. I thought his passes were crisp, accurate, and well placed. He has a beautiful deep ball and even though he missed a couple of deep passes they were placed exactly where you would want them, between the WR and the sideline. I don't think he is what Harbaugh is looking for, but I'm shocked he doesn't have a full suite of MAC offers. He is listed as an OLB by 247, and a ATH by Rivals and mgoblog but I see him as a QB. He didn't come across as a great dual threat QB in the game, but that could be attributed to Lowell's great run defense. I see him as a smaller Devin Gardner since he is only 6'1" and between 190 and 200 lbs. Is there something about this kid that I don't know about? Like off field issues, grades, etc.

I sure hope he goes Blue, because I am going to have nightmares if he ends up in green and white.
December 1st, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
I don't know if he has already visited AA a ton of times, but IIRC considering he was at staee last Saturday vs. Ann Arbor for The Game, leads to me beleive he is going green.
December 1st, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
My bad, thanks for the correction. I feel a little more optimistic.
December 1st, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
I feel bad for that DB. He was in great position but couldn't jump high enough to get the deflection. Lowell played way better but couldn't match up with the athletes on MLK and MLK got so many big plays to stay in the game.
December 1st, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
I wish I could have stuck around after the MCC game.

These three athletic guys will all be very good D1 players. Posey took over as QB week 2 in the season ( I heard he was a WR before with little Qb experience). Great athletes are just athletes regardless of what position they play.
The other thing about King is the number of kids who transferred from other high schools. Felt bad for the Red Arrows since they were not as fast but otherwise superior ball players (and probably had no transfers).
Division 3 Chelsea met the same sort of fate versus Orchard Lake St Marys, who had a smaller enrollment, but crazy talent who moved to go there.
There should be a separate classification for athletic college prep schools, or they should all play D1 where they belong talent wise.
December 1st, 2015 at 5:40 PM ^
I just don't know what we would do with Posey. He's gonna be a great player and so many schools are dumb for not offering him.
Plus, the class size is definitively 27 per Steve Lorenz.

Heck of a catch. Watched that game also. Hopefully he goes Blue. Go Hawkeyes!
