Great update by Gary Housteau...Mike will be at the AA combine. He grew up an OSU fan.

Lots of other good stuff in this article about Mike and the St. Ed's kids...sounds like a great kid.

Not really relevant, but I love the name. Reminds me of King of Queens.

From the BC site...the article is all about BC.

Side note: IMHO, the BC Rivals people don't even bother reporting on a kid's interest in other schools. Their fanbase must be shocked every time another site does an update on a kid, because their Rivals outlet makes it seem like every kid thinks the sun rises and sets at Boston College.

I think he has the talent to play D1, but I guess they didn't think so. At least he's going to an Ivy League school.
