Saline RB Kevin Gross will be joining the Wolverines as a walk-on next season. Kevin who broke his leg during his junior year is 5-foot-11 and 195-pounds. He rushed for 402 yards on 6.9 yards per carry, and had 249 receiving yards as a senior. He was being recruited by a number of Ivy League schools that never materialized due to his junior year injury.
Kevin attended one of Michigan's spring practices and Jimmy offered: “I was caught off guard (by the interest),” Gross said. “I was initially hesitant of being a preferred walk-on, I never thought I would do that. My biggest concern was that it was too late to even get in school, and I didn’t know what my future (on the field) would be.”
“He was telling me there is really no difference at all between preferred walk-ons, and scholarship players on the team other than scholarship players go to school for free,” Gross said.
Kevin was accepted to school yesterday and announced he was joining the team as a preferred walk-on. He will get a chance to play with teammate and friend teammate Chris Terech who will also walk-on at Michigan.
I did hear that Greg Mattison was in NJ yesterday doing some recruiting. Then this happened:
NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A 40-pound wolverine had to be tranquilized at Newark Liberty Airport on Tuesday after it made a hole in its metal carrier in an attempt to escape, the Port Authority said.
The European wolverine was being transported from Norway to Alaska when it made a stop in New Jersey. At around 3:30 p.m., Port Authority police were alerted to the situation in a transport van at Terminal C.
A veterinarian from the Bronx Zoo also responded and tranquilized the animal, known for being ferocious, so that it could be safely moved to a new carrier, which was also provided by the Bronx Zoo.
Coincidence? That GMat is recruiting in the state a Wolverine attacks his cage and looks to escape the airport? I think not! :) On a side note, there weren't any reports that new Michigan Power forward from Germany, Mortiz Wagner was in the NJ airport at the time of the European Wolverine escape. :)
- There continues to be more and more evidence that Caris LeVert might be coming back to Michigan next year. There are a number of similar players in the draft and he seems to be dropping down to the second round prospect due to his injury. How this might effect Michigan recruiting Brown and Williams only Coach B knows.
- 2016 K Quinn Nordin (Rockford, Mich.) visited Michigan yesterday. I didn't know he had been offered for lacrosse & football. Quinn is regarded as the best kicker in this class. He also visited MSU this week.
