The holidays are busy. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying Washington State vs. Air Force highlights!

A couple wrap-up items from recent days on players with decisions to make:

  • Nick Eubanks is returning for a fifth year at tight end, which is good because I don’t think he would get drafted in 2020.
  • Kwity Paye is returning for his senior year at defensive end, which is also good because I don’t think his draft stock would be very high.
  • It sounds like Ambry Thomas is coming back, although he hasn’t come out with that decision as definitively as the first two.

Boubacar Cissoko

THE ROSTER

  • Doug Dutch (RS Sr.)
  • Morgan Trent (RS Sr.)

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 25, 2019

Don Brown

MSN has an article saying that Michigan is the only Power Five school that doesn’t offer online classes (LINK). In case anyone makes the argument that Michigan is the same as any other school, there’s some evidence for you.

Don Brown talks about the 2020 recruiting class (LINK).
