Nightly Roundup: January 6, 2019

I have, let’s say, “opinions” about the writers for various blogs, sites, etc. around the Michigan media sphere. Some of them are great, and some of them aren’t. A guy who’s quickly moving up the list is TheWolverine.com’s E.J. Holland. Here’s a nugget from a recent batch of recruiting nuggets (LINK):

On how much enrolling early will help Green-Warren: “I think it’s going to help him a lot because now he’s going to get there and put on that extra weight. You have to realize that we stripped 25-30 pounds off of him when he left Mater Dei, which is a powerlifting school. He was looking more like a safety. We took that weight off, and he’s running with the wide receivers and looking like a corner again. Getting in the weight room early with Michigan is going to help a lot. With the weight room comes power and speed.”

For what it’s worth, my favorite recruiting-related guys/bloggers are Seth (MGoBlog), Sam Webb (247 Sports), Steve Lorenz (247 Sports), and Tom VanHaaren (ESPN), with E.J. pretty quickly moving onto that list.

Darion Green-Warren, Wolverine

Harbor City (CA) Narbonne cornerback Darion Green-Warren publicly announced his commitment to Michigan on Saturday afternoon during the All-American Bowl. He signed with Michigan during the early signing period in December but kept his decision quiet until now. Green-Warren picked the Wolverines over offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Oklahoma, the latter of which once held his commitment.

Green-Warren is listed at 6’0″ and 187 lbs. by 247 Sports. He ran a laser-timed 4.67 forty.
