Of course, we are talking about Denard Robinson and his Wolverine teammate Adrian Witty.

This from the Miami Herald today:

Robinson enters with a career-best 10.44 in the 100, which ranks second to Tampa Chamberlain's Dentarius Locke (10.31)—the top seed in Florida and No. 10 in the nation by MileSplit.com.

The Bucks believe victory is a foregone conclusion if Robinson gets the baton tied or even a few steps behind the lead on the anchor leg.

''Coach has pushed me way more and my teammates have pushed me,'' Robinson said. ``I feel very good in the 100. I'm stronger in the 200, too. I'm hoping to win all three. It means a lot to defend our relay title. We can't settle for anything less.''

Denard's track coach also believes Denard will eventually end up in the NFL. I can't wait to see that break—away speed next Fall.

Could Adrian be a diamond in the rough?

He was only ranked as a three—star player. But with his track speed, he could also be a surprisingly nice talent for the Wolverines for the next four to five years.

• 6"4, 178 lbs. athlete from Detroit Cass Tech, Daniel Easterlyrecently got an offer from Missouri. The Wolverines have yet to offer the Cass Tech star. Daniel's current offer list includes: Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Louisville, Minnesota, and MSU. If Easterly is to get a Wolverine offer, expect it to happen this summer during Camp season.
