TomVH: Chris Gallon, Dr. Phillips Update

Submitted by TomVH on

If you're keeping track, Michigan is recruiting RB Demetrius Hart, S Roderick Ryles, and S Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix from Dr. Phillips for the 2011 class. As I said yesterday, Roderick Ryles was just offered by Michigan and will be visiting for the Wisconsin game. They're also very much in the conversation with 2012 QB Nick Patti. You can add another teammate to the list with 2011 WR Chris Gallon (6'5", 205 lbs.):

Michigan is starting to come after me hard. They're looking at my senior film right now, and they said after that they might offer. Coach Smith has been in constant contact with me. He said they like me a lot, I just have to wait until they see my film.

Chris sent the Michigan coaches his junior film, and the first three games from this season. Gallon said they are recruiting him as a wide receiver, and if they offer, Michigan has a good shot with him.

I was supposed to go up to Alabama this weekend with Dee (Hart) and HaHa (Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix), but I'm taking my SAT so I didn't go. I'm going to be going to Michigan for the Wisconsin game though. We're all going up there together.

Gallon, Ryles, Patti, and as of right now Demetrius and Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix are all planning on being at the Michigan game, when they take on Wisconsin.

This either means two things. Either we're in desperation mode for Dee, and we feel the only way to get him is by offering all of his buddies... or we know that the cat is in the bag, and we love Dr. Phillips and its players for it. I tend to think its the latter, and that Dr. Phillips is a loaded program with lots of great student athletes.

Is there any precedent for so many kids from one school in the same class signing with the same college?  If this actually happened, it would be very interesting indeed!

 

Miami (YTM) took 8or 9 kids from Miami Northwestern a few years ago, including int. machine Jacory Harris.

The incoming freshman class for the fall of 1978 had four teammates from the same Wisconsin high school (Grafton H.S.).

  1. Rich Strenger (OT)
  2. Mike Lemirande (DE/OLB)
  3. Dave Brewster (FB)
  4. Tom Garrity (C)

They were a part of several Big Ten Championship Teams and were also a part of Bo's first Rose Bowl win ('80 season, '81 Rose Bowl win over Washington).

Thank you Magnus.  If you see my original post, I said 6 inches, and I was basing it off of how they were listed.  Then my "at least" commented implied that even Colt's height was exaggerated, it likely wasn't more than 2 inches off.

The 6'5" and 205 combined with the lower caliber of offers makes me think that the staff might be projecting him as a tight end as they seem to have struck out with everyone but Tabb.  

The low GPA and trouble with the SAT's are troubling considering the academic troubles of the previous class.

Dorsey's denial had more to do with shady correspondence coursework that dramatically boosted his GPA (AFAIK, he's still not enrolled at Louisville). 

As long as his 2.4 is legit, I'm pretty sure Gallon will get in; I think we brought on kids with similar grades even under Carr.

tom, you kinda suck dude.  you never actually give us any real solid info. just always, "Oh, he'll commit soon."  I mean, come on.  It's really really creepy what you do too.  Shouldn't it be a NCAA violation of what you do??  You contact players and try to sway them.  Don't tell me that you actually get paid to creep kids out.  In fact, I really think that you do much more harm for our program than you do to help it.  I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if some guys actually were really turned off by what you do you creep.

Thanks, and have a great day.

there's no relation to young Jeremy, aka #10???

 

(for the record, this was posted after Promote Rich Rod responded to whatever was posted.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying this in response to me.  Which, on the other hand, would be pretty cool considering it appears that he posted a response over a half-hour before the initial post.  Flux capacitor?)

gallon with 40lbs of barwis muscle put on his frame= tight end.  Jack Tabb is a possibility, but why not put this kid on a workout program. Redshirt him, get familiar with the offense.  Oh and thats right lock up the dr. phillips teammates to help build on future big 10 title teams, Knowledge psyched me up with his diary!

I like that idea.  If he's 205 right now, with that frame he could be 220, 225 by the time he even sees Barwis for the first time.  He can redshirt during Kogers senior year and come out of the gates at 240+ ready to go the following year. 

I like it.

I know we'll all know in 3 days, but since I really can't wait...does anyone have any info on how Dee's visit to Bama went? I can't imagine that every recruit in the nation doesn't want to be on the same team as D-Rob. Also, for those recruits that have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to see how Michigan's season goes, how many more games do they wait? is 6-0 enough?
