Jeremy Gallon Makes The Grade
Per one Jeremy Gallon's myspace page a kid named Jeremy Gallon has made his ACT score and will be on campus this fall. One w00t for the slot receiving. With Fitzgerald Toussaint good to go, the only player Michigan is waiting on is Justin Turner.
Turner still has to pass one section of the goofy Ohio exit exam, which should be formality now that he gives a crap. At least, I'd hope so. I took an equivalent back in the day and it's tough for anyone with opposable thumbs to fail those things. (Except my buddy who went to Harvard after getting a 1600 on the SAT; the state of Michigan said his writing skills were at a "novice" level.)
This is why that is schwing-worthy news:
For more, check Gallon's recruiting profile, now thankfully not wasted effort.
UPDATE: Tom flags down Gallon for a quick interview:
TOM: So, you qualified?
JEREMY: Yup.
TOM: What was the deciding factor?
JEREMY: I had to get a couple points on my ACT, and I had to boost my GPA. That was it mainly.
JEREMY: I had to get a couple points on my ACT, and I had to boost my GPA. That was it mainly.
TOM: So that's all you needed to qualify?
JEREMY: Yup, Coach [Rod] Smith called me and said he had some good news. I checked the internet to see for myself, and I'm really happy.
TOM: So when are you going up to Ann Arbor?
JEREMY: Coach Smith is going to give me a call, and let me know. I just want to go up there and show everybody what I'm capable of.

That is one great highlight tape. Seems almost impossible for the first guy to bring him down. His change of direction could cause whiplash...Sam Bernstein will probably start handing out cards during games.
Awesome post to stumble across tonight, I'm excited to see what he can do this Fall.

I can smell the axe body spray from here.

One of the best things I've done this summer is take my girlfriend (Michigander) to Seaside Heights. We walked the boardwalk for an hour and a half taking in all the passing marvels. Midwesterners, guidos are very real and more numerous than you can imagine.
you can catch that they are driving a Hyundai at about 0:44.
I enjoy the clip that pops up of the whoa guy dancing in the brightest "club" in the world.
but this always cracks me up. Awesome.
Make it 4
C'mon JT Turner, let's make it 3 for 3. Great news on Gallon; can't wait for him to get to campus.
When can we get the disclaimer to the fake 40 video speed time?

Slot Receiver
Rivals still thought he was #151 in the country and a rock-solid 4*. This kid can cleary play.
That little guy can run. Run fast, even.
Thank you, Facebook/Brian, for notifying me of this awesomeness on an otherwise nondescript Tuesday nite.
Gallon is the real deal. His speed, elusiveness, and ability to hit top end speed after 2-3 steps says it all. The Big 3 Florida schools passed on Gallon because of his poor academic situation; Michigan took a chance on Gallon and will be rewarded very greatly. This guy is the ultimate slot receiver.
Does anyone know if Gallon will be in NCAAF 10? I know certain players were not for NCAAF 09.
If he's not, just create him. We already have to create T. Lewan and Q. Washington, as they didn't include any frosh linemen. So Schofield isn't in it either.
Thank the mythical, pie-in-the-sky entity known as God.
First the beautiful HD vid this morning, and now more good recruiting news... so excited for the season to start.
WOO HOO BABY
Great to hear and excited to see him on the football field this fall. Kudos to the young man on putting in the work necessary to bring up his scores.
I remember being so pumped about JG after the AA game. He supposedly was very electrifying that week in practices before getting slightly injured. Very excited to see what he can do. Hopefully catch some punt/kick returns.
"JEREMY: I had to get a couple points on my ACT, and I had to boost my GPA. That was it mainly."
In case anybody wants to know what that means here is what the NCAA has to say.
https://web1.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter/hs/d1_standards.pdf
Division 1 is a sliding scale.
Students must graduate from High School and have a grade point average {GPA} of 2.00 in a core curriculum of thirteen academic subjects.
You must also achieve a minimum score on your ACT and SAT This is between 37 and 86 on the ACT. and between 820 and 1010 on the SAT.
wut?
That's the sliding scale part. The higher his GPA the lower his ACT score can be and vice versa.
went from like 14-36.
Yea, but the score the NCAA is referring to is a sum score of all 4 sections. You get a score between like 14-36 for each section, they add all those.
If he had a 2.0 GPA, he'd need a sum score of 86 to be cleared. So basically he'd have to average 21.5 in each section.
I wonder which it was, because according to the sliding scale if he boosts his GPA, the required score he needs on his ACT goes down. If he was scraping by with a 2.0, getting a sum of 86 on the ACT is certainly doable, but no cakewalk if you don't apply yourself.
Presumably that's a cumulative score adding all four (?) sections together and not an average as the ACT is typically reported? I mean, I'm allegedly around genius level intelligence and my offical ACT score was 35, and 36 was a perfect.
that is all
I was being a bit sarcastic there, but maybe I should have more clearly referenced that "show me your test scores/admission letter to Michigan" thread.
I was impressed with the accuracy of JG's passes. If things get tight this year at qb maybe he could be an option? Just thinking of ways to make sure the qb of Death never sees the field.
Everyone really needs to watch the triple cut back at the 7:00 minute mark in that video. It is insaaane.
Stonum, Stokes, Gallon, Odoms, Roundtree. That is a good mix of different abilities and experience. We are going to be pretty strong at WR for the next few years I think.
Absolutely. With several great receivers coming in next year besides, it looks like RR's going to make it a priority to keep the WR corp stocked.
I'm hoping it's a long time before we have to go through another "bare cupboards" kind of season.
Muh...muh..muh..my....feeeeet!
Well done, Mr. Gallon. Can't wait to see you on the field doing that voodoo you do so well.
WOOOO!
When do we find out about Turner?
now turner just has to do his part
i'm tickled
We needed this good news.
1) The uni makes it too easy to imagine him on the field. Excuse me while I mop up my drool.....
2) I really should have had one of these recruiting videos made when I applied to grad school.
SUPER DUPER!
Despite the fact he can dance around other players, he does it efficiently and heads north and south asap. Some players with his cutting ability dance so much, defenders can recover and converge but Gallon uses a cut to move a player from his path and then gets yardage. Very little wasted motion. He is going to be great.
This is awesome news. I remember the coverage of the AA game back in January and everybody kept saying this kid was tearing it up at practices. He is going to be a great slot reciever for us. Hopefully Justin Turner gets in soon as well.
in my pants when I saw this
That's creepy
should ride into Ann Arbor on a chariot! Go through the palm leave tunnel, one lap inside the stadium, and then park it next to his virgin filled dorm room. Well...at least that's how I started college...
Wow, some good news from the football camp. Let's hope Turner makes it and then we'll be 3 for 3. Then people will get on RichRod for snake-oil'n some grades..
