MGoBlog's TomVH has reported via Twitter that Fullback Sione Houma has committed to Michigan. Sione has visited Michigan before, but this is still a surprise; got nothing prepared, and it's late here, so commitment profile to follow in the morning. In the mean time, a quick thought:
Spaces in the class were already tight, and some of you might not be too keen on taking a fullback right now. But let's remember that UM tried to take one at the end of the 2011 class, so it only makes sense that they take one here.
About 3/4 of the way down on this link TrueBlue25 has some video footage of FB Sione Houma u may want to see...

Wtf? Curveball what's this do for Dunn if anything? Gimmie answers gimmie info !!
ReplyDeleteRivals rankings just came out and Michigan is #2!! Benji might have to start use there rankings again.
ReplyDeleteI was using max preps to brag (they have us at number 1) but Rivals #2 holds more water IMO. I have no doubt after this weekend we could be number one across every recruiting board. I'm predicting at least two more commits this week/end. I like that darboh is visiting for 3 days AND going to the BBQ.
ReplyDeleteMgoblog says the AD department said Kellen Jones is no longer enrolled at the University. Uh oh
ReplyDeleteA few days ago Espn updated there class rankings and player rankings. Here are a few notes:
ReplyDeleteMichigan moved up to the #5 class
Kalis moved up a few spots in the 150
Aj Williams got ranked-3 star, rating of 77, TE #33
Jeremy Clark-rated 3 star, rating of 76, S #39. Oddly enough he is rated higher than Allen Gant.
This doesn't effect Dunn in the least bit. Houma will be used as a FB blocking for Dunn I hope
ReplyDeleteScout says he runs a 4.53 40!! That's suprisng to me.
ReplyDeleteWell this was a surprise. Given his size and his ratings, he must be a serious blocker. He looks fast on his video, but that could be the level of competition. He looks more like a FB/RB hybrid to me.
ReplyDeleteI formally place this into the "trust the coaches on this one" file. I wonder if he was concerned that he wouldn't have a spot after this weekend's BBQ. Regardless, welcome aboard Sione!
Smokey, if you watch his highlights, he's legitimately fast. He's even the deep back on a couple kick-off highlights. Speedy kid who is tough to bring down!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with his speed. All sources peg him at 4.5 which is quite fast for a FB. He may not grow any taller (if he does, kudos) but if he packs on some serious muscle in his senior year, he'll see some early playing time.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have had E.J. Fatu, 5"10 240 pounds!!, he would have been a better fit in our "ManBall" offense.
