THE RECRUITS

Boubacar Cissoko
High school: Detroit (MI) Cass Tech
Ratings: 4-star, #13 CB, #137 overall
College: Michigan
Scoop: Cissoko made 31 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 interception during 1.5 seasons in Ann Arbor, but legal troubles cut his career short. He spent some time incarcerated and ended up playing in the Arena Football League and overseas.

J.T. Floyd
High school: Greenville (SC) J.L. Mann
Ratings: 3-star, #64 CB, #815 overall
College: Michigan
Scoop: For a discussion of Floyd’s career, you can check out this old senior profile from the end of Floyd’s career (LINK). He was not drafted in 2013 and did not play in the NFL.

Nightly Roundup: December 24, 2019

I finished reading Black List by Brad Thor. I won’t bore you with another review of a pretty cookie-cutter spy thriller type of book, but it was entertaining nonetheless. It’s book #11 in the series of 20 and counting, so I’m officially more than halfway.

2021 Recruiting Update: Offense

I wanted to alert you to The Ocean Cleanup Project, a project designed to reduce the plastic in the oceans by 90%. I first discovered this project from a Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Boyan Slat (LINK), and Rogan recently did a follow-up with Slat, the founder of the project. It’s a great cause if you want to donate.
