TomVH: Antonio Kinard Update
LB Antonio Kinard was originally a commitment for the 2010 class, but ended up going to Hargrave Academy in Virginia. There were questions about whether or not he would be a part of the 2011 class, and I spoke with him about that today.
I have talked to the coaches (at Michigan), and I will be enrolling in January as long as my SAT score is high enough. I should be getting my score back soon, like tomorrow. I need to get somewhere around 1000. I think I got that because I'm here at this military academy, and all I'm allowed to think about is my grades, football, and getting out of here.
So as long as his SAT score is high enough, he was told by admissions that he will be in to enroll January.

This kid is funny without even trying. Here's to Antonio fucking BigTen players up for years to come!

where did the No Fly Zone turn up? Louisville was the last I heard, but not sure of that.
October 22nd, 2010 at 8:01 PM ^
While you were cryogenically frozen, there were no less than 12.4 million board posts asking about Demar. He ended up no where. Rumors of trying to land at Louisville again next year.
October 23rd, 2010 at 10:29 AM ^
glad to hear I missed 12.4 million board posts about nothing......you probably made many of them. and he cant be nowhere, although he may not be in a school at all. What happened to the junior college he signed with? Seems as if he had an idea there might be a problem.
and if he is "nowhere" for a year, why cant he study and retake his tests, do something to enter a D-1 school next year?
October 23rd, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
You are a ritard. My advice to you is to please do not start a post asking where Dorsey is. Also Ryan Mallet transferred, just to clear some things up for you.
October 23rd, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
I was just wondering, since he seems to have turned up nowhere, why Dorsey couldnt do what Kinard did, with the year of "prep" school. Sorry to have offended you. Wipe your mouth off.
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
Where's Derrick Rose's brother when you need him?
/sarcasm
Seriously though, I'm happy for the kid and for our team. Hopefully he gets his 1000 and can help our defensive depth.
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:19 PM ^
Scores from the most recent test will be available to students on October 28th (next Thursday). There are 2 more tests following that, on November 6th and December 4th.
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
hey, congratulations to him.
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
Antonio, hopefully you'll be on campus in AA in a few months.
October 22nd, 2010 at 6:09 PM ^
We would love to have you be a Michigan Wolverine!
October 22nd, 2010 at 6:50 PM ^
Is 1000 an okay score now? I'm old...
October 22nd, 2010 at 7:34 PM ^
It is roughly the average. Typical SATs nowadays are on a 2400 scale, but the NCCA will evaluate only his verbal and math scores (instead of the usual inclusion of writing), making it out of 1600. 1k is somewhere around the average - http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0883611.html which would make it roughly equivalent to a 21 on the ACT.
October 22nd, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
Here is at least one new student who I'll bet won't be griping about the general appearance of the women at Michigan.
Looking forward to having Antonio as a Wolverine. He should be given huge props for sticking to it. Very admirable regardless of that SAT score.
October 22nd, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
What does this have to do with the general appearance of women? That seems a little random.
October 22nd, 2010 at 11:47 PM ^
I could be wrong but I assume it has something to do with him being in a military academy. He will most likely be thankful to see anything of the opposite sex regardless of whether or not its average.
October 22nd, 2010 at 8:17 PM ^
I hope he gets the 1k. These are the kind of guys I like to see...guys who WANT to come to Michigan. Guys who, when they get on campus, do everything they can to be the best they can be. He may play, he may redshirt, but the one thing I do know is that he gets the advantage of getting to campus early and getting things in order before a football season is in full swing. Please just stay in the dorm your first year...don't rent from the same place Demens did.
October 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 PM ^
I hate landlords who actually demand payment of rent
October 22nd, 2010 at 11:49 PM ^
Not as much as I hate women who demand payment for sex.
October 22nd, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
Most students with a 1000 SAT would not get accepted to U of M.
October 22nd, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Most students cannot play football as well as Antonio.
October 23rd, 2010 at 1:18 AM ^
Don't take that number so literal. I'm sure that's not the exact number he needs, the point is he just needs to get a certain score to be admitted. The coaches have told him they want him in this class, which is relatively new information.
October 22nd, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
1.) It's the guy who has "Princeton" in his name who says the obvious.
2.) Here's his "highlight" tape: http://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-football/Antonio-Kinard-Highli…
They've got to have this tape wrong? If this is the kid we're bringing in....he seems to not be that good...I hope this is just a bad tape.
October 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 AM ^
judgement on one vid. A linebacker coming in with size who can run, with a year of seasoning... yes please.
October 23rd, 2010 at 2:52 AM ^
I hope he does well on his test. Hopefully his year was well invested in studying and preparing for his grades and football
October 23rd, 2010 at 10:57 AM ^
I think I got that because I'm here at this military academy, and all I'm allowed to think about is my grades, football, and getting out of here.
So, would it be fair to assume Antonio isn't a big fan of military academy life?
October 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 AM ^
Here's what I imagine Kinard went through his first day there...
There's some foul language...be careful.
October 30th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
Hope he gets jersey number 47 also!
