Welcome to Michigan AJ. Go Blue.
Is that tho UM fans would like to be excited about a new recruit joining the team, it's hard because crazy Jim might dump him a week before NSD without any warning. So good luck AJ, hope you make it, would be great to see you lose to OSU and MSU every one of the next four years before you transfer
So, is he going to transfer? Or, is he going to lose to MSU and OSU four years in a row?

So are you gonna get a life and stop being a Sparty troll?
Should have clearly indicated the sarcasm?

What's your beef, Wellington?
Neither. If things go as expected Harbaugh will tell him to piss off 3-4 days before national signing day, thus sparring him the grief that is being a Michigan football player. Only question is will the kids dad still have a job with UM athletics. I'm guessing yes, cause there seems to be unlimited jobs in Harbaughs program, at least 2-3 for every recruit.
Ok. Cool. Just happy to have confirmation that your original post made absolutely no sense.

Life of an internet troll is rock bottom

But not rock bottom, rock bottom would be having to come to this site as a fan, knowing that this was my team, that would fukin suck for sure. To know deep down in your heart that it's 100% true when every OSU and MSU fan says you suck ass and don't belong, or laugh because UM was beatin by Toledo, and App State, or got raped by Urban and the Buckeyes by 4 touchdowns at home on Harbaughs big night last November,. That my friend is Rock ass bottom. No Doubt.
Kid looks like a beast!!

instincts and closing speed on Defense make me think he could play either RB or LB at the next level.

Go Blue! He's got some pretty great balance for someone his size and 4.6 electronic 40. He reminded me a little of Montee Ball and Deveon Smith wacthing his film.

stole kid's thunder : (
Wasn't his announcement supposed to be at 10? Looks like ESPN (and possibly the coach) just scooped the kid. Real nice.
Cool. Am I the only one who feels like we have a lot of the same type of back, though? Ty Isaac, Kingston Davis, Kurt Taylor, now AJ Dillon. A lot of big, bruising, physical runners. Not a lot of speed, though. Even Kareem Walker has been described as more quick than fast, no?
I think that is the kind of player Harbaugh wants and will attract.
March 28th, 2016 at 10:13 AM ^
Yep. I'm sure he would love someone like Wheatley or fournette, who have size and speed, but those backs are rare. With having so many backs that can hurt you, we can have a RB by committee and keep the run game going all game/season long

Clock killin' AJ Dillon
Is the only back there that I would consider "bruising". The others to me, seem balanced. Good speed and size.
Speed backs are great for a change of pace, but power backs are the staple of the pro style offense. Look at successful pro style teams? Alabama, MSU (that's weird saying), Georgia. They always have the lead bruising back, and the change of pace guy.
March 28th, 2016 at 10:54 AM ^
You should feel dirty including MSU, even though it true!
March 28th, 2016 at 11:54 AM ^
He's MGoJohnStamos. He is a little dirty by nature.
Trust me, I didn't like it... But now they have 2 starting running backs in the NFL (Langford and Bell)
I'm not a fan of pure speed backs being your primary runner (say, Carlos Brown), but a few of the teams you mentioned also had/have power guys who could run away from people: Derrick Henry, T.J. Yeldon, Sony Michel, Todd Gurley, etc.
March 28th, 2016 at 10:00 AM ^
a bruising back, a good offensive line. Hopefully a pass protector when called upon. I'm sure we'll take the speedsters if they fit but I like what I see from Coach Harbaugh's system. Matter of fact just thinking about it makes me salivate. Or is that my meds?
March 28th, 2016 at 10:16 AM ^
and can play at least rb and lb....Harbaugh likes the multi talented player, gives him and the kid options IMHO.
March 28th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
That is the kind of back that Harbaugh is looking for with his system. Don't forget though, Chris Evans is also coming in this summer, and I think he will help change up the pace out of the backfield.
March 28th, 2016 at 11:42 AM ^
Isn't he a smallish speedster as the change of pace back? We haven't heard from him, yet...
March 28th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
Wait until all the pieces are fully in place..Big TEs, Big OL, Big FB, Smart athletic pocket passer, RB who makes you quit with a RB behind him who makes you quit more..Dominate the clock and wear opponents down..Harbaugh!
Welcome to the Leaders and Best!

Big backs.

Welcome AJ!

His balance is elite. Seems very athletic for his size but not as fast as his 4.6 40 would suggest. Hope he can learn to bounce fewer runs outside because at his size that won't work at the college level. If he can learn to run hard at the hole on inside run plays he will make it to the second level a lot and not go down from arm tackles.
March 28th, 2016 at 10:28 AM ^
4.59 sir

If Norfleet had been .01 second faster he would have returned at least 10 kickoffs for touchdowns.

Or if he had the regulation amount of blockers in front of him...
