Hello: Khalid Hill
February 6th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
I can honestly say I didn't see that one coming. Welcome to the michigan family mr. Hill!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
who dat
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
Probably top TE in MI...most likely will be a high 3-star to the gurus. Looks like Hoke & co. saw something special with such an early offer.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:16 PM ^
I bet we offered as a DE. 6'2'' 230 doesn't seem anywhere near the size we're looking for a TE in this offense.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
I thought you stopped following recruiting?
February 6th, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
Troll.
February 6th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
I had no idea who Khalid Hill was until about 45 minutes ago.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
Considering he was the MVP as a TE at camp and was offered soon after probably speaks otherwise, but I'm sure we won't know until an interview comes out with Mr. Hill.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:33 PM ^
"It's a tight end/H-Back kind of deal. He's a utility guy, who will be motioning from fullback, get work done in the slot. They'll move him around a lot. They sat him down and told him how they're going to use him. They said he'd do a lot of what Kevin Koger did last year."http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1156247.html

I read that as "TE MVP" as in, MVP at his position... am I reading that wrong? Was he really the best overall player at the camp? If so then hot damn, we got ourselves a pretty sweet weapon.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:02 PM ^
I believe I read that he was MVP at the TE position specifically. Other positions had their own MVP awards.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:33 PM ^
he is the perfect size for a H back. used like Chris Cooley for te Redskins. They are about th same size.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:50 PM ^
...I was going to make. Here's Cooley's NFL profie listing him at 6'3" 255 lbs. And here's Aaron Hernandez's profile - he's 6'1" 245 lbs.
As a HS junior, Hill is approaching the size of the prototypical NFL H-Back.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:46 PM ^
We do have an H-back role on the team. He seems like a pretty good size for that spot.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Nice to see some early commits. Welcome Khalid
February 6th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
Nice field at the 2:00 mark. Seems he's looking for a somewhere to run where he isn't ankle deep in water rather than running from tacklers haha.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
He looks pretty good rumbling, bumbling, stumbling!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:22 PM ^
Classy = Having doves released when you score a touchdown.
Well played and welcome Mr. Hill.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
Links to 247, Rivals, and Scout.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
This should accompany every commit post.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
Seconded
February 6th, 2012 at 4:22 PM ^
Third
February 6th, 2012 at 4:43 PM ^
Fourthed?
February 6th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Central was his only other offer?
February 6th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
It's okay because all he does is win.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
They offered him based on a camp performance. Any time the coaches offer a prospect after seeing him that in depth, you don't really worry about the offer list or recruiting rankings. They know talent and they liked what they saw, that's all you really need to know I think.
February 6th, 2012 at 5:09 PM ^
Don't hate on the second-best football program in the state.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
February 6th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Has this been a trend during Hoke's time as a Head Coach at his previous stops to develop a large recruiting class early in the process? It sure seems like it so far at Michigan.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Probably a 3 star to Rivals, 4 star to Scout.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
Didn't see it coming either, but he was on campus today and he jumped on the offer right away.
Comes from the same school as Brandon Graham.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
Rivals has him listed as a weakside defensive end, but almost everywhere else he is a tight end. I'm assuming off of our needs though that he will be a tight end though. But all that doesn't matter, welcome to the family, Khalid!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
6-2 230 for a TE/DE? I guess he can grow, but that's pretty small for those positions. I wonder if they are planning on moving him.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
230 as a HS junior isn't exactly "small" for a TE.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
6-2 is, though.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:31 PM ^
February 6th, 2012 at 4:13 PM ^
Aaron Hernandez is 6'2" he did alright for himself in the NFL this year.
February 6th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
Mayne Hoke saw what Belichick did to Hernadez, and is about to do the same. TE/RB would be nice. isnt it like brandon Jacob's size too
February 6th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
kinda like what Chris Cooley kinda was in Washington from 2005-2008?
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
Looks like he'll be a high 3 star type. Glad we got a TE early in the process. Welcome to the team!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
Go Blue!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
brother named Khalil. Any info on whether he is also a potential M recruit?
February 6th, 2012 at 4:14 PM ^
He is, according to ESPN. He is a 5'9 CB, so not identical twin obviously!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:10 PM ^
Welcome to Michigan Khalid! GO BLUE!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
6'2" and 235 at this age ... I wonder what his upside weight potential is?
