Good for Kareem. Hope he does well for himself. Great talent.
September 4th, 2018 at 11:25 PM ^
16 non-TD carries. What a bum. Fiar Leyland!!
September 4th, 2018 at 11:26 PM ^
Title blows. Former Blue? Neat

Once a wolverine, always a wolverine?
September 5th, 2018 at 9:01 AM ^
Do we feel that way about Justin Boren?
September 5th, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
I don't seem to recall that name. Nope. Sounds like a quitter though who makes bad decisions.
September 5th, 2018 at 11:02 AM ^
Can't we just Plow ahead with the discussion
September 4th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
I thought same thing. No one says “former blue,” other than the OP.
September 5th, 2018 at 7:19 AM ^
Thats right up there when people say "go big blue" , makes me cringe
September 5th, 2018 at 8:00 AM ^
An obvious play off the "future blue" monicker.
September 5th, 2018 at 12:16 AM ^
I hear "former [insert school/mascot] all the time. Just listen to NFL broadcasts. The one that really bugs me is "Former Heisman Trophy Winner..." which has been uttered many times about Charles Woodson. I'm like, "what...did he give it back?"
September 4th, 2018 at 11:27 PM ^
BTW, in week 1 he had 13 carries for 48 yards
September 4th, 2018 at 11:29 PM ^
FYI for anyone that is interested - Magnus/Thunder does a great weekly update on all former wolverines (commits, coaches, transfers, maybe NFL players) over at Touch The Banner - Link
September 5th, 2018 at 11:48 AM ^
Yes sir! I do NFL updates once the NFL season begins, so those will start next Thursday. So far I've just done the college update.
September 4th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
Where did Kekoa Crawford end up?
September 5th, 2018 at 11:47 AM ^
I try to keep up with this stuff, and I haven't seen a destination for him yet.
September 4th, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
Do they have functional OTs? Are they NCAA eligible?
September 4th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
I would hope a former 4/5 star would be able to run for 100 yards in community college games
September 5th, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
What if he is trying to run behind an inept offensive line?
September 5th, 2018 at 5:21 AM ^
I’m surprised so many previously highly rated recruits go straight to the CC football route without investigating MAC, MWC, or one of the G5 conferences where competition is still competitive but more importantly a four year degree goes a lot farther. I understand many transfer that route due to poor grades, behavioral issues or legal stuff too but that’s such a drop off in my opinion. Even if they are featured on a Netflix documentary or whatever.
September 5th, 2018 at 7:11 AM ^
If a player transfers, they are ineligible to play at other FBS programs for one year. Typically, when highly rated players transfer to a non-NCAA member school, they play for one year then transfer to another Power 5 team for the rest of your career. If they transferred to a MAC-level school, they would not be allowed to play during that ineligible year.
And frankly, one year of conditioning and practice with no chance of competition sounds terrible.
September 5th, 2018 at 7:47 AM ^
Plus for those with academic issues a year of CC helps to get their footing in a college environment. Many of these kids went to crap schools where they probably weren't expected to do much work.
Freshman year in Ann Arbor can be challenging even for top students.
I hope Kareem does well. I thought he was going to be great here.
September 5th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Absolutely correct. I finished high school top 5 in my class and first semester freshman year was a massive wake up call. I struggled mightily to pull a C average that semester. And I didn't have to worry about playing a sport and practicing/training. A lot of high schools do next to nothing to prepare you for the next level.
September 5th, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
Well maybe Kareem will transfer back to UM after this year.
September 5th, 2018 at 5:38 AM ^
Is it too early to say he probably has a better offensive line to run behind?
September 5th, 2018 at 6:08 AM ^
Nice. Thanks for the update.
September 5th, 2018 at 8:39 AM ^
Good for him, hope he gets a spectacular opportunity and a shame it never worked out at Michigan.
September 5th, 2018 at 8:53 AM ^
Then you know what he did???
September 5th, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
Good luck to him. Kid definitely has the talent.
September 5th, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
Can you imagine being a 5 star high school RB recruit, ending up at a place like Michigan and 2 years later you're in Fort Scott, Kansas
