Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

Jim Smith was from Blue Island, Illinois, at least that's what Bob Ufer always told me. Jim Smith was a fantastic football player, but was somewhat obscured because he was followed by Anthony Carter.

Here is an interesting article detailing Jeremy Gallon's struggles with academics both in high school and college and his perseverance overcoming them.

"

"I struggled," said Gallon, a redshirt junior wide receiver for the Wolverines. "Things just seemed a little hard for me at times so I gave up. I didn't have the self-esteem that other students had. I wasn't motivated. I couldn't relate.

"My mind was not on school, period."

I wonder if expectations Hoke puts on seniors, were a burden Marvin Robinson and Mike Jones were unwilling to embrace.

Rivals list McDowell as 6'6'', the same height as Alan Branch, and Alan Branch was a pretty good defensive tackle for Michigan.

I would like to see a list of New Jersey's top 200 m times. Butch Woolfolk name is probably on the list and he was in HS in the late 70's. Woolfolk had the fastest 100 m and 200 m times in the nation as a high school senior in 1978

Dude, sincerely, if you hadn't made this post, the Tigers would have lost the game. You saved the game singlepostedly!!!!!

2 weeks 4 days ago In a positive way, this

In a positive way, this season could be huge transition years for both the offense and the defense. Offensively , of course, Al Borges will finally begin to implement his West Coast offense that was so fun to watch at San Diego State.
The sea change on defense will be Mattison believing this is the season he can generate a pass rush with four. If this is true the defense is going to be better than last season. I think this suggests Mattison believes he has the experience in the system, and the personnel to run the defense the way he wants to run it. Buckle up!

2 weeks 6 days ago Here's the skinny from

Here's the skinny from Mgoblue:

"father, Joe, played linebacker at Notre Dame (1981-84), while uncle, Mike, played football and hockey at Notre Dame... is brother of Penn State junior/sophomore defensive end Brad Bars ... grandparents attended Michigan, while grandfather, Douglas Eggleston, played football at U-M."

http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/blake_bars_810565.html

Another interesting angle is the family lived in Michigan until 2003.

Here is a snippet from a Tom VH Mgoblog interview with Blake Bars back in June of 2011:

TOM: Ok, and to talk more specifically about Michigan how familiar are you with the program? 

BLAKE: We lived in Trenton [Michigan] for around 12 years. I went to a Lloyd Carr camp in Wyandotte once, but I can't really tell you much more than that, I was pretty young. We did go up to Michigan last year and took a brief visit. We have relatives in Ann Arbor and we wanted to look around the stadium. We're excited to go back up and meet the coaches and go on a tour. 

TOM: Does Michigan have any advantage with all this since you have family there and you've lived there before?

BLAKE: I think my Aunt who lives in Ann Arbor is a pretty good recruiter. She always says that if I come to Michigan she'll have special things for me. She'll bake me cookies and cook for me. I like the fact that my family is there, and my mom's uncle actually played for Michigan, but I'm not sure how much it will factor in.

2 weeks 6 days ago It's odd, a few short years

It's odd, a few short years ago Michigan and West Virginia seem to be recruiting many of the same kids. Now it is rare to see Michigan and West Virginia as finalist for the same recruit. Things change quickly.
