Could this offer mean anything about Sammy Watkins? They seem to be very similar players, and I really doubt we take more than one more WR in this class.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:16 PM ^
No, I don't think this says anything about Watkins.
November 20th, 2010 at 12:01 AM ^
So grabbing a 3rd WR in this class wouldn't shock me.
November 20th, 2010 at 8:11 AM ^
We would have 15 scholarship wide receivers. That seems a bit excessive.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
WR is code for DB,CB, Safety or MLB right?!?
November 19th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
Two things jump out: very physical, good at high-pointing the ball.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
bro. The things I would do for my country for a highlight tape with decent music. Can you imagine how awesome this would be with..."Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody..." or some Slayer.
Edit: or I could press a button and be happy.

and thus do not like Lil Wayne all that much, but I'll take Lil Wayne over Billy Joel seven days a week. I mean seriously, Billy Joel?
November 19th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
Billy Joel!!!!!!

use a lagwagon song but I'm assuming not too may people on here are huge punk rock fans. But those who are are awesome.
Or NOFX: "That's me on the beachside combing the sand, metal meter in my hand, sporting a pocketfull of change."

don't work in mental institutions
November 19th, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
Lucien is an excellent WR...just wonder about the timing.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
Video made me firmly convinced that this kid is Tacopants' brother
November 19th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
November 19th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
Do you think we would take 3 WRs in this class?
November 19th, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
Remember, this team has a glut of rising seniors next year at wide receiver. I think the offense is getting to the point where we can start recruiting guys for a few years down the line rather than hoping for immediate impact. It may seem like Michigan is going after a bunch of wide receivers, but it would be great to have a strong corps of RS Freshmen receivers ready to take over after Stonum/Odoms/Hemingway graduate after next year.
The defense isn't there of course, but it is good to see the recruiting able to plan ahead.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:48 PM ^
This gives the staff the ability to reload the offense instead of rebuild, which is scary in my opinion

Wish his tape had some returns or something over the middle. Short stride for whatever reason. Good ball skills and seems fast. Definitely an outside guy.
November 19th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
with your point of need to account for the soon graduating wrs. my one problem is we should concentrate on defense this yr. i think we all know we could look alot like that team from Eugene if we could just field a decent defense!
Hail
November 19th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
I like the fact that he's physical once he catches the ball and while running through defenders. Could you imagine SW on one side and this kid lined up on the other? Dee Hart in the flat and DGardner in the backfield as the QB ! Danger Danger Danger for the other big ten teams!
November 19th, 2010 at 7:29 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing. Remember, Denard is only a sophomore so you could insert him at qb along side these guys as well. But ya in 3 years with these guys being upperclassmen and assuming they are playing at Michigan and DG at qb...wow that could be one explosive offense. Once the D catches up the sky would be the limit for this team.
November 19th, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
I had a dream about TomVH last night. Does this mean that I am spending too much time on here?
November 19th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
no it means you're creepy.
November 19th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
November 19th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
WR that catches with his hands so well, and goes across the middle with ease. Great jumping for the ball ability. Now here is my question to anyone. Do coaches miss talent during the season? Just curious as to why a late offer, on what seems a good prospect.
November 19th, 2010 at 9:11 PM ^
Doesn't seem to catch the ball with anything but his hands. That is what has made some otherwise good receivers great. If SW is better than this kid, and we end up with both of them along with Conway, it will have been a great WR class. Though, I have to admit, we have been getting some good ones with RR at the helm. Reload, not rebuild. That is the key to having good to great teams year after year.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
This is the biggest thing I noticed from the video. He catches with his hands and makes it look easy. He isn't fighting the ball at all. These are highlights though, it doesnt' tell us whether he consistently catches like this.
November 19th, 2010 at 7:45 PM ^
i like his ability to adjust to balls while they're in the air.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
I like his hair.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
CA recruit... not many of them over the last couple years. Tate, and a couple offers that went elsewhere.
Hopefully we can get some inroads to CA. This would be a good start.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:55 PM ^
Can't agree more. We use to have the De LaSalle pipeline. But how many WR's can we use.
November 20th, 2010 at 12:32 AM ^
November 20th, 2010 at 5:52 AM ^
Last year we had no recruits from the west, but the year before we got Roh and Lewan from Arizona.
Last year I remember us recruiting Billion Baxter, Joshua Shaw, Kenny Stills, Sean Parker and Tony Jefferson. IIRC, we had visits from Baxter and Parker. I can't really remember if the other guys visited. I forgot about Brennan Clay, but I don't even know if he really gave us a chance.
November 20th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
The thing I like most about him:
He runs picture-perfect routes. He's one of the better high school route runners I've seen. He doesn't have amazing speed, but damn...you can get wide open if you run routes as precisely as he does.
November 20th, 2010 at 12:30 AM ^
With the spots we have left, and if we get Watkins, would you use a schollie on this kid or use it for the defense
November 20th, 2010 at 8:16 AM ^
Assuming Conway sticks and Watkins commits, then no, I wouldn't use a third scholarship on a WR.
November 20th, 2010 at 5:21 AM ^
Looks like he has some great hands

Appears he had a big game in the playoffs last night
