TomVH: Allan Wasonga update

all I want is a durable back that can play an entire year with minimal injury. Is that too much to ask?

That's pretty impressive for a sophomore highlight tape. Let's hope this guy ends up blue.

That clip of him reversing field twice @ 3:20 was crazy.

Didn't his dad go to OSU though?

Wasonga has said in another interview that a) he thinks he'd be better off running out of the I-formation, and b) he's not interested in coming to Michigan.

The Angry Michigan RB-Hating God thinks so.

Is your avatar a proctologist's office?

That's a great sophomore tape. I can't wait to see his junior year clips. I say the more running backs the better. I want quality depth.

If Michigan is able to land Demetrius Hart and Justice Hayes, we would probably be set at RB for the year. As much as I'd like to have the assurance of a healthy quality RB being available at all times, coaches should be focusing more on the defense and OL. Early commitments from Kevin Williams and Zettel would make the remainder of the process a great deal easier.

Sam Webb mentioned something about this kid in the recruiting roundup the other day. He is sporting a Michigan offer, and his tape is super impressive. He is a between the tackles runner, and his acceleration through the hole is some of the fastest I've seen from a high schooler.

I'd say my top two (three) choices are as follows right now:

1) Dee Hart
2) Jarrell Oliver
2a) Wasonga

I'm unimpressed with Hayes's film, FWIW.

that if takes a visit, RR and crew can convince him to GO BLUE!

Kid looks sick. That said, he's gotta learn to bust his tail all the way to the endzone. You just never know when some safety with Morgan-Trent-speed is gonna run you down from behind.

This looks like poor, poor competition, so I am taking his highlight film with a grain of salt.

That being said, excellent feet, hips, and explosiveness. Exciting highlight film to watch.

I'd say give him an offer for sure if the junior tapes look like these tapes 1,900 yards as a sophomore is pretty impressive but could be weak competition, but regardless he still looks good doing it.

Are you a Giants fan?

I'm in the military and live in Nebraska, and have a friend that is from that area in West Virginia. He was telling me about this kid a few months ago. Apparently his uncle has watched him on several occasions and says that he is a hell of a player. Not really sure what kind of judge he is on talent, but he says that Wasonga just destroys the competition he faces.
