Cell Block News and Notes: Holiday Weekend Edition

  • Defensive End is a huge need for Michigan in the class of 2009. It's basically a position that Michigan has whiffed on in the last two classes. Here is a link for Kedrick Johnson, one of Michigan's prospects for that position. Of course everyone and their brother is looking at him as well.
  • We all knew Scot Loeffler was a good coach and hoped Coach Rod would keep him. That didn't happen but he ended up with the Lions and has been making a good impression so far.
  • Michael Shaw's HS athletic career is over. He was found not to be a resident of Trotwood, Ohio and can no longer compete in track this spring. The following statement were a little shocking to me, but I guess sometimes you forget what type of backgrounds these kids come from.
In a conversation with an investigator hired by the OHSAA, Shaw's father was unable to remember the name of the Trotwood trailer court at which he was paying rent for himself and his son. In a Feb. 12 interview with the OHSAA's investigator, the trailer park owner indicated that the Shaws did not reside there after being evicted and that rent had not been paid for three months. He also said there had been no electric use at the site the past "three or four" months. There was no electric usage for June, July and August of 2007.
  • Former Michigan verbal commit and every other college in the US verbal commit, Jeremy Fitch a 4 star safety that played at Florida last year and broke his leg in a game has now decided to transfer to IU. The word was that Jeremy wasn't exactly hitting the books at Florida, I hope he understands that it won't be any easier at IU.
  • Is David Terrell trying for another comeback or is this someone totally different? I don't know of undrafted rookies from Michigan named Darnell Terrell:
The Browns also have a number of undrafted rookie CBs in camp. Mil'von James of UNLV, Damon Jenkins of of Fresno State, Gerard Lawson of Oregon State, and Darnell Terrell of Michigan are all in camp with the Brownies this summer.
