'08 MI WR Fred Smith (MSU signee, transfer)

[RhodeIslandBuck]

Warren and Boo-Boo are underperforming DB's? That's news to me. By all accounts Warren was the best CB in the practices and at the AA game down in San Antonio. Boubacar blew the doors off the building in San Antonio at the JR AA combine.

None of the CB's we've got on the roster we're as highly regarded as either of those kids. Morgan Trent is a converted WR, Charles Stewart was a 3* who has already made the move to safety, and Johnny Sears and Chris Richards were a pair of raw 3* RS freshman from California.

Hall performed pretty well in relation to his rating as a recruit out of high school. Hall was a 2-time All-B10 selection, a 1st team All-American, and is likely to be drafted in the 1st round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

I don't think our DB's have underperformed, I just think we've done a poor job recruiting DB's.

Which will be a prime example of why draft positioning is useless.

Alright, enough about Leon Hall...he is a fine CB who will likely have a great NFL career. This thread is about Fred Smith...

I am really getting tired of having to chime in in these threads to get the topic back to the kids...

he's the type of kid Michigan and Michigan State don't want him to attend any combines or Nike camps. If you catch my drift.

Hmmm....those tricky Wolverines are trying to keep secrets from us eh?

You think he'll blow up like Ronald Johnson or Boubacar Cissoko did eh?

I like Smith alot, but I don't think he's quite on that level.

maybe not. but getting the attention of a lot of schools and then getting attention from a lot of schools could end up making his recruitment a dogfight that the in-state schools prefer to not deal with.

Michigan requires most psl kids to attend their camp if they want a offer.

more film on Fred.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Pretty impressive, but I will take Posey and Scott over him...

 

[Mgoblue29]

I'll take Stonum and Baldwin over him.

 

[super_mario]

I'd take alot of kids over him. He's very raw but he does have very good tools and he could become a very good player with some coaching and polish in a college S&C program.

Fred has 7 offers including Michigan and MSU. However, he is also interested in tOSU and the "high powered" Buckeye offense.

I couldn't help but smile when I read that article and what he said about the offense. Our image is slowly changing.
