Jeremy Gallon Completes His Work and Will be a Wolverine

Big House Bob by Columnist Written on July 08, 2009

If you religiously follow recruiting, you know that Michigan has had three recruits from the 2009 class who were borderline making it academically.

Justin Turner didn't walk with his senior class and it's believed he didn't even take the Ohio HS Exit Exam. Turner is a good student and it's hoped he can re-take the test and be in Ann Arbor sometime before August.

Second, was a member of the all-name team, Fitzgerald Toussaint. This Ohio running back took care of his issues late in his senior year.

So that just leaves one super fast, slot wide receiver from Florida, Jeremy Gallon. He needed to raise his GPA and get a couple of points on his ACT in order to become a Wolverine.

Mgoblog broke the story and I will let you read what JG had to say:

TOM: So, you qualified?
JEREMY: Yup.

TOM: What was the deciding factor?
JEREMY: I had to get a couple points on my ACT, and I had to boost my GPA. That was it mainly.

TOM: So that's all you needed to qualify?
JEREMY: Yup, Coach [Rod] Smith called me and said he had some good news. I checked the Internet to see for myself, and I'm really happy.

TOM: So when are you going up to Ann Arbor?
JEREMY: Coach Smith is going to give me a call, and let me know. I just want to go up there and show everybody what I'm capable of.

That is good news. Now Turner needs to take care of his business (please Justin we need all the five star DB's we can get) and the Michigan Football Class of 2009 should be ready to go.

 

  • Michael Rothstein, a Notre Dame Columnist will be covering the Wolverines Basketball and Football programs for AnnArbor.com or formerly known as the Ann Arbor News. I am heading up to Michigan and specifically to Ann Arbor to join the staff of AnnArbor.com. While there, I'll be leading the coverage of Michigan men's basketball and helping out with Michigan football. That should be a pretty big change for Michael, going from Charlie Weis to Rich Rod, Jimmy Clausen to Tate Forcier, to The Big Ten. I guess his focus will be mainly on basketball. I wonder if his Irish Insights have any "inside information" on what Good Time Charlie eats?

 

  • Tony Jefferson, LB from California is trying to work out an official visit to Ann Arbor this summer.

 

  • This maybe more then we can handle but: Zoltan Mesko is a Playboy All American and will appear in the September issue. Zoltan at the Playboy Mansion, interesting...
