Michael's Bio

Regular 8 to 5 guy who has been a sports junkie his entire life. I'm a big fan of the NBA and NCAA basketball, NFL and college football, and more recently, soccer in Europe. I'll watch baseball, but only a few regular season games here and there and the playoffs. Born and raised in Houston, I support the Rockets, 'Stros, and the Texans (I guess. I'm still an Oilers fan from back in the day). My favorite player of all time, in any sport, is Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon. The man was amazing and one of a kind. Anyways I hope you all enjoy my views on various subjects of sports. If not, you can kiss my...no I'm kidding. I welcome all points, critics, etc. It makes it fun and educational. Peace.

Hey Michael—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our NBA page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

unfotunately we have 3 very green QB's
andrew hatch is probably the least talented but he is the oldest being a junior. guy is smart but can't make all the throws. pretty mobile like flynn was last year. he has two college career passing attempts.

jarrett lee is pretty balanced and has a good arm but is a redshirt freshman with no playing time. he's the odds on fave to be the starter by season's end. right now his comfort level is in question.

jordan jefferson. probably the best combo of arm and mobility. jefferson is a true freshman. i would love to see him get some PT but in all likelyhood he will be redshirted.

he and russell shepard 09 recruit are the future of LSU quarterbacking and a perfect fit in crowton's spread hybrid offense.

The computer automatically did that. I tried to fix it in the Bleacher Report editing page, but it would not let me. I am so sorry about that.
