VA WR Quinta Funderburk to Arkansas

Submitted by DGDestroys on

According to ThaRinger's Twitter (and a retweet by Tom) VA WR Quinta Funderburk has committed to Arkansas. Tough break after we just broke his top four, but we seem to have hit a resurgence of WR interest over the past few weeks. Gonna miss the pure awesomeness of the name, however.

I've actually seen this guy play and he is a real talent. Wish he had come to UM, and not just for the awesome name.

I'm going to name my kid Fonquante Emojambat.  The venn diagram of amazing names has to be almost entirely inside the venn diagram of elite athletes, right?

Our chances with him are probably even worse than they were with Funderburk. With every passing day, I think our chances at Watkins are getting better and better. And if we fail to land him, it seems likely we'll just let Frost try out at WR first. Someone like Chris Gallon is also a potential addition to the class.

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but do you guys ever see a recruit's name and think, "that doesn't sound like a guy who would end up at Michigan"? This guy was like that. Pearlie Graves, Munchie Legeaux...seems like southern guys with names of a certain funkiness tend to stay down south. HaSean Clinton-Dix doesn't sound like a Michigan player to me, though I hope I'm wrong. Oddly enough, though, I never felt this way about Shavodrick Beaver. He's different, somehow.
