recent news on Shaun Joplin
Michigan Wide Recievers coach Tony Dews visited Southview today to visit Shaun Joplin and talk to him about his recent academic accomplishments. He said he was impressed with Joplin's first semester effort and that if Shaun is able to continue this effort for the rest of the year, he will likely reciever a scholarship offer from Michigan. Any thoughts?

He is unranked by Rivals, with no video. 6'3" 180 and the writeup about his state title game performance sound nice, but other than that I couldn't say.

I've seen him play a few games. He is a decent CB on the defensive side of the ball. He is also a very good and athletic receiver. How he is unranked is beyond me.
Shaun has a very strong leg as well, as he made several long field goals. One game i watched last season, he kicked a 60+ yard field goal, then proceeded to kick the ball through the uprights on the following kick-off. I was shocked at the leg strength. It was very very impressive.

He should be at least a 3 star WR. He's the old-school Michigan type where if u can catch a deep ball, ur given a schollie. He plays faster than his supposed 4.6-4.7 speed too.

"He plays faster than his supposed 4.6-4.7 speed too"
What does this mean? Is this phrase just pablum?

Kinda like Fitz,
better way of saying is, he can get separation quick.
Boldin and Fitz both run a 4.55 and a 4.7? but they seem to "play" a lot faster

I will bet 1 billion dollars he doesn't get a scholly.
Throw out the fact that he's a WR who runs a 4.6/4.7, his ACT is sub-20 (non qualifying) and his GPA is apparently sub-par as well. I see no reason why they would offer an unrated non-qualifier.

If you publicly agree to donate that billion to the school, I bet someone could make the scholly happen

I wonder how many points a billion dollar donation was worth on the old admissions formula.
