Wilton Speight Doing Work

The M Block has some info out on Drake Harris. In it included this quote from Drake:

"Wilton was just like, 'I want a top receiver like you to be able to throw the ball to.' He also said that I should hit him up sometime when he's in Ann Arbor and maybe me and him can meet up and throw. I will probably do that when he comes up here."

Wilton also told Coach Brown that he promises he can get Drake to commit. And I don't believe it's too far fetched. Drake said he's very interested in the University of Michigan, and obviously the depth is going to look really good for an elite prospect.

The best news may be Drake Harris' reply to Wilton earlier this week about him coming to AA.

S/O to he's one of the best qb's in the 2014 class go follow him!

I'm hoping we can get Drake Harris, and it looks like Wilton is doing his best to convince him. What do you guys think? Wilton sure seems to be following in Morris' footsteps well.

It's always refreshing to see your school's top commits tweeting at other top prospects instead of the wannabe recruiting coordinator fans....

The quote  from the Block M article is actually pretty interesting to me - you have to admire that Speight is apparently willing to at least try and close the deal on Harris, if you will, by personally staking his skills. I like the cofidence certainly.
