Semi OT: 7on7 Most Impressive "unknown guys"

Submitted by TampaJake on

So there were two guys that looked really good to me (completely untrained eye) but after learning about them I think they are somewhat under recruited.  This first guy has a quite a few offers but only a few bigtime programs.

This guy was snatching passes out the air like a pro..he was on Team Tampa and had a good supporting cast but tore it up in pool play and in the early rounds of the tourny..Tampa got up early on Max Ex and they didn't really use him in the final but earlier he was a beast.

This guy has 1 offer (Middle Tenn State), this is just stupid.  This guy is a ball snatching TE with decent speed and was snatching balls over and through the defense all week end.  Played on the Tenn team from Knoxville.  

 

I have passed on this info to Michigan recruiting (Mr. Vollmer), in case they are interested.

"Vollmar came to Ann Arbor after spending three seasons as associate athletic director at the University of Alabama where he oversaw the administration of the football program and served on the athletic department's executive staff. During his time there, the Crimson Tide captured the 2009 BCS national championship, posted a 36-5 record and appeared in the 2009 Sugar and 2010 Capital One Bowl."

My guess is yes.

Also, last year when Hoke and company were making the Alumni rounds nation-wide he was listed as a contact for info and I have his stuff saved in my phone...so I called him.  He was totally cool about the whole thing.

He also suggested the Mr. singleterry (sp?) is a better contact...FYI.

Jake - who was the big guy on team Tampa that made Damon Webb look foolish in the first game? Think he was wearing a Miami Hurricanes hat.

Magnus is correct.  Team Tampa was just loaded this year and Travis Johnson was eating every defense up.

Were you wearing all Michigan gear?  I think I may have seen you wandering around.

 

Also, who is the Denny McClain look alike that was on the Max Ex sideline for each game?

Yup definitely him, looked up a picture of Travis Johnson. He was pretty darn good and his offer list is way above a 3 star level. Fitting he is going to The "U". He was talking a lot of trash.

I was wearing the 2011 "This is Michigan" student tshirt and a blue Michigan hat. The only other people with Michigan gear were Shane, his mom and one MaxEx coach. So it probably was me.

Don't know who the Denny look a like was.
