Here's a brief write-up on him from the USC 247 site.
And apparently Mom is in our corner!!
It seems likes the kids who listen to their Mom do well and the kids who go against their Mom’s wishes have some troubles.
I think this one ends well.
Makes me think of McDowell. I didn't support his mother trying to force his hand to come here instead of State, but also, I get it. And in retrospect, mama was very right. If my kid (not that I'll ever have them ha) were to turn down scholarships from Michigan, Stanford, USC, Notre Dame, etc. for a comparatively middling academic school that isn't even an elite program, I'd be trying hard to change their mind too.
We may be picking up a commitment from his good friend and teammate shortly per the most recent recruiting update on the front page. Would love to see this gentleman join the class as well
Always a positive to bring buddies in.
The recruiting buddy program rarely comes to fruition
We recruited Rashan Gary and Devin Bush's buddies.
Jibrill Pepper's too
Hence- rarely. Maybe go back and research how many times the buddy plan didn't work, or how many package deals fell apart. Neg away at reality.
You go back and research it, it’s your hypothesis
Idk how to embed videos, but here is an article with some good ones showing him playing football and running track. He could be Megatron 2.0 but also can play DE/OLB.

NIL this kid
Let’s kickstart an MGOBag
Question to Mgoblog & all reading these comments:
Why don't we do Kickstarter or other such? Talk on this blog about the fabled money cannon showed that if there's an organizing body with a definable end goal, Michigan supporters will outspend anyone.
Our boosters just aren't shady enough to outbid A&M etc of their own volition - but if it was made a contest, with a little graph showing progress towards a set goal, I think the money cannon would roar to life!
Mgoblog publishers, what say you?!
I have seen this question posed a few times. I think the MGoTeam (or maybe just Brian) have made a decision not to get involved.
Doesn't mean that we couldn't as a board. I would love to participate but don't have the time to be a leader. Perhaps our NIL contractee could doing a weekly question and answer session? They could do it as part of MGoPodcast during the season and perhaps in the spring.
Just spitballing ideas.
It's now Nyckoles Arcade
Now THAT'S NIL!
Opens Twitter link...
(Sees USC, LSU, and UGA logos.)
...closes Twitter link.
Last thing I heard was his top 2 is us and USC. But we shall see
Fuck USC!
...and all their OJ-loving delusional fans!!
Lol! Nice +1
OJ is innocent. But he’s the most famous person to be accused of murder and that’s quite profitable. Always follow the Money.

No Vaseline!
I wonder how many recruits out there have Georgia and Maryland in their top 7/top 10/top anything?!?
I thought that was odd too, but then I read that his high school is in D.C.
Pssssshhhhhh. Reading. It takes all the fun out of reflexive internet amazement and/or outrage. To quote one of my greatest influences in my college days: "if I wanted to read, I'd go to school."
/s, just in case.
+1 to you. (not /s)
You can just go ahead and say what sport, position, some of that good stuff.
Serious question - what position / role is Michigan recruiting him for? Seems like we would’ve made his recruitment a big deal with some positional certainty if we thought we had any realistic chance of landing him.
I believe linebacker.
We are leaders to secure his friend/teammate, his mom is a fan, and rumor is we are in a top 2 with USC. I am sure the staff has pitched him a role.
no way Michigan matches alabama or usc's offer$.
That’s true but that doesn’t mean we won’t get him. People have turned down bag to go to Michigan before and they’ll do it again
Is the assumption that kids that choose michigan aren't getting bags? I understand that is the sentiment here but anytime it's brought up anywhere that's not this blog it's laughed off as being foolish homerism. Should we assume that kids that choose michigan aren't getting paid?
Oh yeah ! This has been a fun thread to read.
Gen Xers trying to revolutionize kids names is a crime against humanity.
There is so much wrong with this post. I know your posting history is on the good side. You have been and can be better than this.
And what is right about your retort?
I recognized the positive history this poster has, didn’t denigrate the individual, just the comment, and positively encouraged him/her to meet the standards they have had in the past. I consider those positive ways to retort on an online forum, even if it doesn’t meet the polarized standard so often seen here.
If you consider staying flame wars and constant trolling then sure, EYB has a positive posting history.
If you think I have a positive posting history you probably are thinking of someone else.
Just curious, what is so wrong about it?
The comment was targeted to GenX’ers.
In the broader context, understanding the history and current state of race relations in the U.S., making fun of or making derogatory comments about someone’s name when they are part of a minority population is often done so in a racist manner.
Please note, I’n not calling the poster a racist. It’s not possible to recognize how every comment could be interpreted. In this case, there is enough history around this practice, I felt it worthwhile to make a call to try to be aware and be better.
I really don’t like racism. I’m not sure my racism meter moved by his post. I will give you the benefit as you were very reasoned in your response. I think your heart is in the right place. That said, making fun of generation x y z, etc. is poking fun, imo. I love everyone, but love to make fun of those younger and older than me. Feel free to scorn me for anything you like. If it’s funny I will laugh. If not, eh, next message post.
So we can't make a mild joke regarding how someone's name is spelt, unless that person is white?
Do whatever you want… just like I’m going to.
Correct
