Finally some good news in Michigan sports

Monster, and I mean MONSTER, defensive tackle William Campbell has committed to the University of Michigan. This kid is in high school and is a tiny fella at 6'5" tall and 310 pounds. In high school. That is enormous and he is still growing. There has been a ton of bad news in Michigan sports over the last year, the Tigers spending over $100 million in payroll to come in last place, the U of M football team collapsing with the worst season in my lifetime and the Detroit Lions going 0-16. So here is some good news...



I am not a huge fan of these spectacles of high school amateur athletes holding press conferences with the hats and everything. I mean this guy is getting a free ride on an athletic scholarship to one of the premier sports universities as well as a top academic school. But hey, at least this monster is playing for the maize and blue next year!
