All the USC transfers!!! lol
Really he should just know where he’s gonna end up already. We all do.

As a donor to universities, primarily Illinois, and including Michigan. I have spoken with many, many Michigan fans, donors, and alumni. They understand why Peters is leaving and think we got a steal. Many wanted him to stay and thought he got the short end of the stick, but they also love Shea. Many believe that with him and the usc transfers (and rod), we will crush it on offense. Peters is legit
I know it was pretty much a foregone conclusion for most of us, but it looks like Trevon Sidney is officially enrolled.

Looks like he performed well at their live camp, but I don't think Oregon, nor any Power 5 team has offered him at this point.Not sure where to post this, but it looks like Bennett Williams landed on his feet.

Anybody have info on this kid? All I can find is that he was a basketball player who started playing FB his Jr year. Theres an article saying he signed with Hutchinson CC back in February.

Wasn’t me lol I guess he was here this weekend and I didn’t even know about it.No info, but I remember someone, probably illini0440, saying that we had a Sydney Brown type of person that we were waiting on. So this secret commit with no info is probably the person.
For someone that started playing his Junior year, the film looks great. He exhibits flashes of brilliance (i.e., where he catches receivers from the far sideline). I think he could be a diamond with a high ceiling.

Kid has only played football for a year but is a beast. He led conference with 7 picks. Watched some film and he is great at tackling too. His conference is no joke either. He’s also a all area in the high jump.
Seems like a steal to me.
Witherspoon has a lot of similarities to Finn Schirmer. Really liking this pickup, with each additional bit of info about him.
Very impressive track numbers.
For high jump, yes. A lot of places that kinda height gets you advanced to state. For a division 1 football player, particularly a corner, I’d expect his 100 to be sub 11, and in all honesty under 10.8 (probably even 10.6) and his long jump to be 21+ (Probably 22+). Triple jump (my track coaching specialty) requires significantly more technique but if a D1 level athlete has it they should go 45+. I’ve literally had Jv athletes dominate these numbers. I actually posted them because outside high jump, they’re not what I’d expect. High jumpers can also be more “gallopy” than “twitchy” sometimes too.
Not at all saying I don’t trust the staff, just find the discrepancies in my expectations and actual numbers interesting.

Good thing he is not trying out for track.
Track is the one sport that measures and documents raw athleticism to find its victor.
I would have expected more raw athletics from a D1 athlete. That’s what I was saying.
