By no means is Eric Wilson 2nd rate or no reason that he should be a reserve, he's actually better than most of the current WR targets. He just doesnt play for a top ranked school such as some of the Florida guys, and lets face it, if youre an athlete from Florida, you're on recruiting radars across the country period. He's no slouch by any means.
(watch him single handed-ly rip Dearborn apart in game 2, watch the RIDICULOUS yards after catch and TREMEDOUS speed, bursting past db's that clearly have the angle on him.)
He should CLEARLY be a top target for Mich regarless of any of the medias favorite target, he still ranked the #2 WR in Mich( #1 is commited to Mich St already), and he's the #1 safety, although he plays OLB this year, and w/ the speed of 4.38 in the 40 at OLB, he's deadly, all the while of JUST turning 17 2weeks ago.......now thats impressive seeing alot of these guys are 19 or on their way to 19 shorty.
Needless to say if you were ref'n a game where they were up 42-0 in the 1st qtr, you wouldn't see much of ERIC WILSON(their BEST player) ....mentioned as a MAN amongst boys in this scout article http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1099523.html added to article: Eric Wilson / Sr. / WR-OLB (6-2, 205) Wilson scored the first three times he touched the ball and was a man amongst boys out there. He caught three short passes and easily shrugged off every would-be tackler that came his way. He had four receptions, three for touchdowns. On defense, he was effective on the blitz off the edge and made a couple big plays including a sack and forced fumble. He made the competition look worse than it was last night. He's the real deal and I firmly believe he's a top 20 player in the state. "scout.com"
You should've ref'd the Dearborn game where he scorched Dearborn(not sub-par competition) for 4receptions for 234 yards 2tds, a 75yard rushing td, a 2pt conversion, 2interceptions, a force fumble, blocked extra point, and at least 12tackles....Wilson has yet to play more than 1st half other than the Dearborn game due to Thurston blowing out all competition.
Wilson was on Mich's radar since his Jr year, they just didn't have any film or much to go on and he didn't report to any of their camps. He indeed is a back up plan but what better plan to have than the best available receiver in the state, not to mention, he's a super safety and awesome outside Linebacker. He's a pure all around athlete!
As mentioned, Wilson hasn't play much past the 1st half yet has racked up 15receiving tds thru 7 games, over 80 tackles, 5ints, 5force fumbled, 4sacks and 2defensive tds.....doesn't sound like he should be much of a backup plan, but that is where he stands right now.
