Rojo Update
From a pretty reliable source........
Rojo will be leaving USC...... but it won't be towards Michigan. He wants to play wide out and Michigan isn't the place for him in his eyes. Unfortunately, ND and MSU are both candidates.
EDIT: I embellished the certainty of this (It was 3 AM. I'm surprised that I was even coherent).
He is certainly looking around. ND and MSU have been discussed. However, I have no idea as to how far down they are on his list of candidates. Michigan does not appear to be on his list.
I apologize if I misled anyone to think that this is a done deal. From my conversation with this "source," it sounds like it iis a matter of when and not if but, as we all know, until anything actually happens, it is only speculation, rumors, and/or hear-say.

a WR won't catch 70 balls at UM under RR?
Well, shit... I guess they wouldn't with a noodle armed freshmen QB playing with a ripped up shoulder, an awful pass blocking OL, best OL out, best RB out, 2nd best RB dinged up, and 4 somewhat talented young WR's.
RR had no problem getting a single WR 150 catches in a season before. Look at what Chris Henry did with a QB that was half as talented as Gardner and Forcier will be.
RR's offenses may be predicated on running the ball, but I damn sure don't believe RR won't throw the ball much more when he has the talent to give him confidence to air it out.
C'mon man that's just ridiculous. RR never had a guy catch 150 balls...ever.
Henry had 93 career catches with 41 and 52 his two years at WVU
According to Henry's WVU profile he only had 93 receptions in 2 seasons. But he was able to rack up 1878 yards and 22tds with those receptions. The yards and td numbers are quite impressive.

move along, nothing to see.
Cool, what happened in 1991 against West Virginia Wesleyan and Wheeling Jesuit University is totally relevant to Rojo.
Do you understand that only 3 guys have breached 130 since 2000 and all of them were from heavy passing attacks?
- Freddie Barnes, 155, Bowling Green, 2009
- Michael Crabtree, 134, Texas Tech, 2007
- Nate Burleson, 138, Nevada, 2002
That's it. That's the list.
It ain't gonna happen. If we get a guy to 70 it will be an great year for that guy.
I still remember that recruiting battle between Carr and Carroll. Then Carroll came out to Muskegon and went to church and ate chicken with the Johnson family. I think that's when Carroll sealed the deal. If I'm not mistaken didn't Carr recruit RoJo as a cornerback?
