Wednesday Recruitin' Has Great Expectations
Yaaaaaaaa Luiji
The usual spate of post-commitment scouting reports have come in since Luiji Vilain announced for Michigan on Sunday, and lo, they are good. The Wolverine's Brandon Justice talked to an opposing high school coach who made a lofty comparison—Jevon Kearse—and had difficulty finding an issue with Vilain's game:
"Without any disrespect to other teams we play, he's the first name that pops up that comes to my mind when I think about defensive ends we'll play," he said. "I wouldn't say he has any flaws - just some size and strength to add, and Michigan will take care of that. I think he's right where they want him to be. I think he's big enough where he can make an impact right away, like a third-down specialist. He's just too athletic to keep off the field."
247's Clint Brewster posted a film breakdown slideshow featuring a strength of Vilain's that I didn't highlight much in the Hello post:
Villain's play recognition is another important aspect of his game that stands out on tape. He never drops his head and his awareness for run/pass diagnosis are impressive. At defensive end you have to be a quick-thinker and react to plays in an instant. Vilain's awareness allows him to come up with many bat-downs on tape and he's able to diagnose the read-option and come up with stops in the backfield. His ability to diagnose keeps him a step ahead on plays where there's mis-direction in the backfield.
Discipline on the edge is paramount against today's college offenses; Vilain appears to have it.
Scout's lengthy, free scouting report ends thusly:
Vilain will compete from day one at Michigan and he's going to be hard to keep off the field.
Ultimately, I expect him to be a multi-year starter, all-conference performer and play on Sundays.
That would be acceptable.

|Hello post from Ace. Onwenu featured in two editions of FBO as well.
|Twitter. Cass Tech (many persons). Army AA.
Ace and Dave compiled a single-game reel from the Cass-Southfield game last year:
Mike Onwenu is a cyborg made of a super-dense alloy who arrived on this planet via atmospheric re-entry. I mean… probably? That seems as good an explanation as any. He had already been on the radar for a while when he arrived at one of the many, many camps he did over the course of his high school career and weighed in at 370 pounds. Around here we assumed this was in error and the enormous dude was in fact Juan Harris, the planet-sized Iowa DT commit. That's because Onwenu does not look like a 370-pound man.
Speaking of mass, Onwenu has a deceptive, compact 370 pounds that he moves extremely well. When he gets all that weight going in the right direction, the Michigan commit is a scary sight.
Nor does he move like one, but scale don't lie.
"There are not many offensive linemen I like more in this 2016 class that … Onwenu," [Steve Wiltfong] said. "Onwenu struggled a little bit with learning the new offense, but what he doesn't struggle with is strength. No question he was the strongest offensive lineman on the field and he was also perhaps the quickest."
In addition to Onwenu's sheer improbable mass, he has tackle-sized arms. Onwenu had the biggest hands and second-longest arms of anyone at The Opening, which is a who's who of guys with big hands and long arms.
That helps his pass blocking, which was excellent in camp settings. Onwenu took a ton of one on one snaps against high-profile defensive ends. He held his own in an environment that's OL-unfriendly–especially so for man-mountains who get stuck on the edge for funzies. At the Opening he was repeatedly matched up with top-tier OSU DE commit Jonathan Cooper. Cooper eventually nosed ahead after a bunch of reps, but Onwenu got his too.

The reports coming out of these camps are unsurprisingly raves.
- Barton Simmons, 247: "…almost immovable at 371 pounds… very few offensive linemen have had the success Onwenu has had in the pass-rush one-on-ones."
- Greg Biggins, Scout: "…our top guard of the day and had some extremely impressive reps in the one on ones. …an absolute load but moved very well and had the best punch of any of the linemen we saw."
- Mike Farrell, Rivals: "…showed off amazing feet for a massive interior lineman and he reset as well as anyone. He washed opponents across the middle when they tried to go inside him and he extended his arms well and got his feet right when they tried to go outside. His balance was very good and he was solid inside and even outside at tackle."
- Steve Wiltfong, 247: "…played three different positions and was dominant at all three. … a force at the point of attack, showing he could handle different styles of defensive tackles throughout the day, whether it was a big, quick prospect like four-star Naquan Jones, or the shorter, more powerful Brice Brand. …took snaps at offensive tackle, showing his athleticism and feet, stoning Top247 defensive end Austin Robertson on one rep."
- Also Wiltfong: "one of the surest bets to be a producer on the next level….as usual good in pass protection drills and pass blocking, but he was at his best in the zone blocking drills, obviously looking really powerful in his 6-foot-3, 365-pound body, explosive firing off the ball and attacking defensive linemen in the run game as well."
- Dave Berk, Scout: "Keeps pad level low and uses quick feet, great hand placement and strength to fend off defenders. …moves like a player weighing 280-pounds but can he play four quarters of football at the next level at a high rate with the extra baggage."
- Josh Helmholdt, Rivals: "…dominated throughout the spring and summer….a big body, but he is also very light on his feet. He has a devastating punch and gets immediate extension, but he can also engage and move with defensive linemen."
Camp evals are more about potential than production and the above are ample evidence that Onwenu's got rare, once-in-a-generation upside. Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher has seen his share of top flight prospects and even he's never run across another Onwenu:
"We've never had a kid like him before. Never had a kid like that. That's a gift to have a kid that big that can move and run. You don't have kids like him all the time that can do that. He's low contact, to the ground, good pad level, quick, can run outside zone, sweeps, he can play guard, he can play tackle, it's hard to find kids like that. We've never had a kid at our school with his height, weight and his size."
Nor has anyone else, at least not in a while. As discussed towards the end of this post, finding anyone vaguely comparable to Onwenu was a struggle.
Ownenu still has a long way to go. He was a defensive tackle early in his career, only moving to the offensive line as a junior in high school. Despite this the technique evaluations he gets are at least on par with most highly-touted OL. He's not Bredeson in this regard, but he's a lot closer than you might think. Clint Brewster:
…fluid body movement for a big player and can move and bend his body to combat rushers. He's able to find and hit opponents out in space. He can anchor down in pass protection and absorb contact. … work in progress with hand placement and proper steps. … generates torque through his hip-snap and has a violent upper body punch.
Naturally strong and wins when he gets his hands on defensive linemen. Would like to see him play at a little lower weight, which would improve overall quickness and mobility, but he bends well, plays with a great base and is technically sound. Could play guard or center in college.
ESPN continues its trend of extremely reserved evaluations, noting that Onwenu has "nice size for play in the trenches" without a single superlative or exclamation point or anything. They tend to like him if you can get past the usual suite of qualifiers:
Good height, with a thickly built and wide frame. … very good playing strength and adequate lower body flexion for size. … good, powerful initial punch. … just average initial quickness in coming out of his stance and getting set and can at times get top heavy and lean and expose himself to rushers moves. … Displays adequate pull ability once in motion, but can be beat slow out his stance. … not a real consistent finisher.
There are some technique issues in there but no more than your average OL prospect, and he has some positives in that department.
It's those 370 pounds—the very thing that makes Onwenu a uniquely enticing prospect—that also bring some doubt into his evaluations. A lot of people mention a lack of finishing from him on blocks. Son of a Coach:
What I hated to see was him not being a consistent finisher. He would put himself in good body position, but not sustain his block. This happened far too often and it looked a bit lazy. The other thing is that I expected someone his size to be a lot meaner.
Onwenu is slow out of his stance, sometimes steps with the wrong foot, does not use good hand placement, and does not finish plays on a consistent basis. Even on his highlights, it's rare to see more than a few steps with any kind of purpose. Once he reaches his assignment - a guy who's unlikely to move around the mountain - Onwenu essentially stops to watch the play.
The only thing I'd like to see more from Onwenu is finishing his blocks. For a guy with his size and strength, he doesn't knock a ton of opponents on the turf, and there were a couple plays when he caught himself not playing through the whistle—he got through the game fine at 370 pounds, but at the next level he's going to need better conditioning.
I'm a little skeptical about how much that matters since opportunities to truly "finish" a guy are rare on the college level. The lack of effort some people perceive is probably an endurance issue—Onwenu is delivering consistent good-enough blocks because he's easily tired. Because he's enormous.
Rivals also docked him once they saw his senior season, but the reasons they offered didn't entirely make sense:
…light on his feet and controls everything in front of him, but further evaluation this fall reveals that he is limited and the top 100 is a little high. Onwenu will be an interior lineman in college, but playing left tackle for Cass Tech this season he has trouble reaching defenders who are not lined up directly in front of him and second moves catch him far too often.
Those are both edge problems that won't apply when he's not playing left tackle, as Josh Helmholdt acknowledges. That downgrade brought Rivals down to about the level Scout and ESPN have him at so it's not outlandish, but I'm not sure what they expected.
Nose tackle is also a possibility. Onwenu mentioned he'd have an opportunity to play defense just before Signing Day, and Onwenu was on D-I radars as an underclass NT and drew praise at his various camp stops when he moonlit on that side of the ball:
Off the snap defensively, Onwenu can beat interior offensive linemen, and he's nimble on his feet.
showed he is a powerful, space-eating, run-stuffing defensive tackle.
TTB was actually a bigger fan of Onwenu as a defender:
The place where Onwenu shows a sense of urgency is at nose tackle on defense. He looks like a totally different player. He's quick off the ball, uses good technique, and finishes plays. He probably won't be much of a pass rusher because it's tough to contort 365 lbs. in enough ways to wiggle around offensive linemen, but he can be a run-stuffer in the middle, especially if Michigan is going to run any 3-4 looks.
There's already been considerable chatter about Onwenu moonlighting on that side of the ball when an opposition positively cannot be afforded a single yard, and this is Jim Harbaugh we are talking about here: they'll explore his two-way possibilities. Given the state of the roster, a full-time move is not likely unless there's a roster crisis.
Etc.: MLive interviews him, asks him what his favorite food is. He says lasagna and then clarifies: Sam's Club lasagna, the kind you need a forklift to buy.
Why Warmack/Watson? There is not a successful Michigan guard in Onwenu's weight class. Michigan took a swing with borderline 3/4 star monster Chris Bryant at the tail end of the RR regime; he saw a bunch of hype and scattered playing time before injury problems ended his career. Bryant was not in Onwenu's league as a recruit and offering him as a comparison isn't useful since nobody really saw him play. So we must venture further afield.
The problem with doing that is you don't find much of anyone with Onwenu's size. Best I can do is former Alabama OG Chance Warmack, who is around Onwenu's height and gets NFL bonuses for getting under 330. Warmack was listed at 320 coming out of high school, which is a very big difference unless that number was massaged downward. Warmack really, really panned out, getting picked tenth in the the NFL draft, and while Onwenu is not likely to repeat that just because of the way Gaussian distributions work that's the best I've got.
If Onwenu ends up on defense Gabe Watson is your go-to comparison. Watson was a humongous NT-only prospect who played at around 340 pounds. He was a five-star or near it, and a lot of people were disappointed at how his career turned out… for some reason. Watson was first team All Big Ten twice and got drafted in the fourth round. People are weird sometimes.
Guru Reliability: High-minus. Close to consensus but 247's heart-emoji eyes provide a bit of uncertainty.
Variance: Moderate-plus. Onwenu's potential, weight, and relative rawness make him a highly variable prospect. OL get taken out with injury frequently, and jumbo-jumbo types are at particular risk. Barring injury I can't imagine he's not at least useful as a run-stuffing nose tackle in a scenario where he doesn't work out as a guard.
Ceiling: Vast. Guy could seriously play at 330-340, which would make him a guard prospect unique in Michigan history. (Alex Mitchell does not count for purposes of this discussion.) If he hits his ceiling should be one of the rare guards who gets his name called during the first round of the NFL draft.
General Excitement Level: High. The Warmack comparison is useful in another way because it offers a feel: Onwenu is the type of guy who is a linchpin in the kind of offense that can deliver some good but not incredible tailbacks a Heisman trophy.
Projection: Is 370 pound OL, redshirt. Will have a shot at starting the year after, with three openings and not a ton of options. It's still probable that Bredeson and a couple of the veterans are ahead of Onwenu; 2018 is a more likely time frame for him to emerge as a starter, as there will be at least one opening and possibly more if the fifth-year seniors-to-be emerge. By that time Onwenu will have dropped significant weight and hopefully adds that ferocity to his game that is currently lacking.
And you know Harbaugh is going to have him play some defense. Expect him in short yardage packages in 2017 and possibly beyond.
Sound Mind Sound Body 2016: OL/DL
Part 1: Ace covered the WRs and DBs, i.e. the fun part. His writeup is here.
2017 OL commit JaRaymond Hall [Eric Upchurch]
Last Friday a group of us attended Sound Mind Sound Body at Wayne State University. Their main football field had the QBs, WRs, and DBs, and Ace & Adam covered that. Two practice fields were then occupied by OL/DL and RBs/LBs respectively, so while watching one I couldn't watch the other. I spent most of my time trying to scout the linemen. Actually, because the roster sheets were organized alphabetically by first name instead of number, I spent most of my time scanning random numbers to figure out who a certain player was that caught my eye.
Eventually I settled for watching whoever Drevno and Mattison were talking to.
A few notes/observations:
Luigi Vilain was scheduled to appear but didn't make it. Some of his teammates were on hand. As Ace mentioned Antwuan Johnson was dinged up early so we didn't get to scout him. I thought 2017 Cass Tech OL target Jordan Reid would be there—he was on the roster—but I couldn't find him.
The SMSB staff are great.
With lineman drills no pads is a major advantage for defensive linemen, especially for quick little guys. The most successful blocks were often borderline holds, unless a lineman put a guy in the dirt, whereupon everybody clapped.
I learned a lot about why people who cover a lot of camps fall into the same vague observations. Unless you've been at this for way way longer than I have, the most apparent thing is how some guys look like amazing athletes and the rest look like your larger friends from high school. If you're there to scout just one guy in a group you'll spend most of your time marveling at how physically different he is while he's standing in line. Beyond that you can see foot speed and who got yelled at by coaches, who invariably coached "pad level" and "footwork."
If you haven't gathered by now these observations are going to be of dubious value to you.
Don Brown is a very INTENSE man.
Hall needed no shuffling through pages to identify; every time he took a rep the chatter died down as coaches and players paid attention. Drevno was giving Hall a lot of coaching between reps and ultimately had him doing a few things during drills that other linemen weren't, like keeping his hands nearly touching like in prayer while doing the shuffle. JaRaymond was taller than all but the one really really big kid.
Hall is super light on his feet and built on the lean side; Jason Spriggs was the comparison I made in my mind, and not just because I had just come from melting into a fanboy upon meeting Kevin Wilson.
The size thing was kind of an issue against bigger DL the few times he caught one, but he was credited by the coach running the drill (a Penn State grad assistant, who was Harbaugh-level into it all day) for using his space. Contrary to just about every other OL, the skinny unpadded little DEs couldn't rush by him. He just took 'em wide.
If I was creating an NCAA player I'd go heavy on the acceleration, lighter on the brute stuff. Also if I could edit hand size I'd put them way up there. Most players wore gloves but Hall didn't. I think he could curl his fingers over mine. I am running out of usefulness obviously so I'll move on.

More satellite stuff. As the camp season moves along and more and more people see Harbaugh in action the tone of media coverage seems to have shifted. Harbaugh shows up, has an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, works his ass off in drills, and people in attendance go "huh." Marc Tracy has a NYT article that goes over the Rutgers camp experience in some detail, and Harbaugh impressed some people in Houston.
Observations: Harbaugh is more active/hands-on at these camps than any head coach I've seen. Also, several unique drills/competitions.
— Sam Khan Jr. (@skhanjr) June 14, 2016
Also Ohio. The Vindicator:
His speech was part instructional of what was about to happen on the practice field and part old-fashioned church revival, with football being the religion this day for young men that came as far away as Canada.
Harbaugh then spent the next three hours working a style that displays a boyish love of his job. The drills he led were mainly a mix of running tests in which he crowned a champion at the end of each, loudly announcing the young man's name into a microphone that fit his hand like a glove.
The more people who go to these things, the more of them find out that Harbaugh seems to mean what he says when he talks about spreading football. That's not to say there isn't another motive, but Harbaugh isn't teaching a bunch of middle-schoolers because he thinks there will be recruiting payoffs.
Harbaugh: 'It's not about recruiting. If it really helped recruiting that much, ppl would've been doing it forever.'

Marshall moves. Lawrence Marshall was at SMSB, observing events. Sam Webb flagged him down for an interview and got some actual news: Marshall is 270 and no longer on the weakside.
"I play in the six-technique, so I play in front of the tight end more," he said. "I love that. I feel like a tight end can't block me. If the tight end is blocking me I'm doing something wrong. That's all I've got to say about that."
Terminology changes over and over again and regimes move in and out; around here that means he's moved from WDE to SDE. That leaves just Chase Winovich and Reuben Jones amongst veteran options at WDE and thus implies that Taco Charlton is going to move back to the weakside and start. (He played SDE in the Ford Field practice and the spring game.) That'll probably mean Chris Wormley, an unparalleled tight end obliterator, will go back to SDE. Your other option there is Rashan Gary. So… Marshall probably has another year to prep before serious playing time as an upperclassman. An approximate three deep on the line:
|Chris Wormley
|Ryan Glasgow
|Maurice Hurst
|Taco Charlton
|Rashan Gary
|Bryan Mone
|Matt Godin
|Chase Winovich
|Lawrence Marshall
|Reuben Jones
That could work out okay.
Marshall also discussed some of the reasons it seems like he's been in the doghouse since his arrival, claiming that his work ethic "has tremendously improved from my freshman and sophomore years." Hitting 270 is solid evidence of that.
Hudson deployment. From Penn Live:
"I think as soon as I get there, I'm going to have an impact on the team," Hudson said. "I'll be at strong safety my first year, and then my second year, they're going to be putting me on offense and giving me some plays and stuff.
When Hudson committed I'd assumed he was ticketed for the nickel spot Peppers was at last year; his "LB" spot this year is probably going to look pretty similar except with more QB decapitation. Now, it seems like there are several options there in 2017 and beyond, and few at safety. Hudson will probably be a true safety for most of his career.
A SEC schedule solution that's pretty great. Jason Kirk and Bill Connelly propose a shift away from divisions in the SEC, which the Big 12 has enabled by agitating for a championship game despite having only ten teams. The upshot is that everyone gets three permanent rivals and then plays the rest of the league every other year. They've tweaked it so the schedules are balanced for the current state of college football, and while there will be some drift things tend to remain the way they are.
A Big Ten version is possible, but the proposal above is aimed at an eight-game conference schedule; the Big Ten has gone to nine. An attempt at three permanent rivals all the same has some goofy matchups:
non-negotiable in italics
|Permanent opponents
Unlike the SEC it's very hard to create these matchups with any semblance of even-ness. Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, and Northwestern are all but impossible to split up, and consistently bad. Minnesota gets it in the eye. Rutgers too.
Even so I like the idea of having relatively balanced schedules for everyone, playing everyone at least every other year, and picking the top two teams with conference record of opponents the tiebreaker. Also, blowing up the schedule again would allow Michigan to undo the most lasting damage of the Dave Brandon era: the MSU/OSU home/road fiasco.
Sign her up. This woman has a legit shot at our linebacker two-deep.
We'll have to deprogram her first obviously.
The sixth year odyssey continues. MSU already failed to get Damon Knox the sixth year they promised was coming, and now it comes out that Ed Davis won't even get a degree until August(!?), despite the fact that he's already been on campus for five years. MSU can't apply for a sixth year until that degree is completed, two weeks before MSU's season opener. As we've mentioned before, Davis's case is hamstrung by the fact that MSU's own website notes he was scout team player of the week twice when he was redshirting and MSU's confidence about all three of these guys appeared to be very much unwarranted.
FWIW, the third dude, OL Brandon Clemons, has in fact sent the paperwork in already.
Okay, Drew. You know what's awesome? I haven't thought about Drew Sharp for more than a glancing second in years. But Detroit's miserable hatemonger gets on the radar today for the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen:
You win today. Now return to sleeping at press conferences.
Etc.: NFL.com names Jabrill Peppers the most versatile player in the country, which yeah. Someone complained about no Bedyoa mention in the Copa post. I have an article for you, sir. LSU bans opposing bands from playing at halftime. Rumors that Baylor is trying to bring Briles back appear to be mostly unfounded. Hockey rules committee proposes adopting 4-on-4 OT. No word on the guy who can't wear skates whose goals count double yet. Harbaugh is an extrovert.
Piping Hot And Not At All Dated Copa America Takes
The US came out of a reasonably difficult group at the Copa America and now faces Ecuador, a team they just beat 1-0 in a pre-Copa friendly, in the quarterfinal. Assorted items. Nobody cares if you don't like soccer, sports talk radio enthusiast.
Klinsmann wasn't entirely wrong after Colombia… The opener against Colombia was a 2-0 loss but far less dispiriting than a lot of victories over the past couple years, and because everyone's on edge about how Klinsmann is a bad coach there was a ton of pushback/panic/etc. Klinsmann in the aftermath:
Despite the loss, USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann declared himself generally pleased with how his team performed in what he termed "a totally even game."
"We were absolutely OK with the team performance," Klinsmann told reporters in his postgame press conference. "Obviously we got punished for two set pieces in the first half, and then against such a quality team [it's] very, very difficult if you don't force one goal to get back into the game and equalize it. But overall, we were completely even. We didn't give them anything."
This was sort of correct and sort of the same product Klinsmann's self-serving excuse factory has been dumping into the river for a couple years now. (Please do not try to compare the above statements to anything Klinsmann said during or after the 2015 Gold Cup. If they touch each other they will explode.) Colombia generated little from the run of play. The fancystat Expected Goals more or less thought the game was a wash:
xG map for USA - Colombia. Not much in this one between the goal and the Bacca big chance. pic.twitter.com/RZWb2NhG7O
— Michael Caley (@MC_of_A) June 7, 2016
That more or less corresponds to what I saw, except the one big Colombia chance it sees is overrated by the formula because it doesn't take the difficulty of Bacca's attempt into account. I'll take that against the #3 team in the world. One missed mark on a corner and a fluke PK were about it for Rodriguez, Cuadrado, Bacca, and company. That's the bit where Klinsmann was right. The bit where he was wrong was a game state thing. Colombia scored within ten minutes and were happy to sit back and see what happened, especially once it seemed like the US was no threat. It wasn't a threat, and a large part of that goes back to the manager.

Sound Mind Sound Body 2016: WRs/DBs
KJ Hamler dominated the one-on-one portion. [Bill Rapai]
This year's Sound Mind Sound Body camp at Wayne State featured several of the state's best high school players, as well as some top out-of-state talent. Adam and I spent most of Friday afternoon watching the receivers and defensive backs—Seth covered the linemen on another field—and we saw impressive performances from a couple Michigan targets. Before running down the players who stood out to us, a few general notes/caveats:
- At a camp this large, even the top prospects only get a handful of reps in one-on-ones, so a couple good or bad reps can really skew the perception of a player. Drills were taking place on both sides of the field, too, so I didn't see every rep each WR/DB took. I'll note which players got more reps in than others that I saw.
- I mostly focused on the established prospects since there were usually two one-on-one matchups occurring simultaneously and I was trying to take notes between reps. If a prospect who stood out to another site isn't mentioned here, that's more a reflection of my focus than anything else.
- Donovan Peoples-Jones was listed on the initial roster but chose to attend the Rivals Five-Star camp in Atlanta instead. 2018 commit Leonard Taylor, who was supposed to work out at tight end, was also a no-show. 2018 commit Antwuan Johnson attended but dinged up his ankle and sat out most of the day.
With that out of the way, some evaluations:
2017 MI WR/DB KJ Hamler (M Offer)
Camp settings are ideal for Hamler, whose quickness and precision make him nearly impossible to contain in unpadded one-on-ones. He was easily the quickest wideout going through the three-cone drill, and that agility and foot speed was apparent in his route-running. Defensive backs had trouble getting their hands on Hamler, who got separation on nearly every rep he took and caught everything he could get his hands on. His route-running is advanced for a high school prospect; combined with his athleticism, he's hard to slow down.
Hamler is undersized, to be sure. He makes up for much of that deficiency with his ball skills—he's got great timing and can go up and get it. That showed up as much on defense as it did on offense. Hamler took some reps at cornerback, and while he's not at technically sound there as he is at receiver, he stayed step-for-step with his marks and came away with a couple interceptions, including a spectacular leaping pick on his final rep. Hamler also showed a high level of competitiveness; he took more reps than anyone else as best I could tell, and on a couple occasions I noticed him drop to the turf to knock out a quick set of push-ups when he was waiting for his next rep.
There were a couple moments when Hamler's size hampered him. Still, from what I saw he was the best performer among the WR/DB group, and only Ambry Thomas came close to matching him. Even though Michigan took a number of quality slot-types in the 2016 class, I'll admit I'm disappointed they aren't pushing harder for Hamler. While he'd be an ideal fit in a spread, I think he could be successful in any offense.

|Hello post from Ace.
|Twitter. Brother on the baseball team. Parade AA.
I didn't copy and paste Mason Cole's recruiting profile for this post, but I may as well have: Bredeson is a powerful and agile offensive lineman who could hypothetically play any of the five spots, but fits best as an interior lineman because he lacks the pass-rush-engulfing height and arms that top flight left tackles generally have. But don't take my word for it. Scout:
"…has shown he can play some tackle too but we still see him as a big time inside guy in Ann Arbor."
Bredeson is likely bound for the interior of the offensive line in college, but looked better as a tackle than expected. He does have the thick build of a guard, but primarily in the lower body. Long arms and an upper body that can still use additional strength give him the look of a tackle.
I think Bredeson is good enough to play offensive tackle, but I think he could develop into an All-American level guard at the next level.
Bredeson has good but not great size for the offensive tackle position, and his body may be a better fit for offensive guard. … could slide in at all five positions. He can stay low enough to maintain leverage at the interior positions, and he has the foot quickness to block guys on the edge. I do not see him being an elite left tackle prospect like, say, Taylor Lewan because Bredeson just lacks the length and athleticism that Lewan had.
You get the idea. Michigan agrees with the above assessments: As of December Bredeson was scheduled to start out at left guard. Tim Drevno's evaluation on his MGoBlue bio mentions that he is a "guy who can hold point especially on a three technique," again implying that Michigan sees him as an interior lineman. Lorenz also reported that he was working on his snapping in case Michigan wanted to try him out at center. Bredeson has the athletic ability to play tackle but is a guard in an ideal world.
Michigan may not be able to provide him that ideal world. Contenders for the open slot at RT next year are… uh… I mean… yeah. Juwann Bushell-Beatty has been playing a lot of guard despite being the most tackle-shaped guy available, which is a situation with Ben Braden echoes. There was rumble that Nolan Ulizio was looking pretty good, and could be a tackle. Mason Cole could flip back out if absolutely necessary. That concludes likely contenders. Michigan does not have great options in 2017.
Bredeson might be a good option even at that early stage. I know we're pretty skeptical of "he's so college-ready" reports after Kyle Kalis, but, I mean, a lot of people think Bredeson is an advanced technician. Son of a Coach:
He's very technically sound at this point in his development as a run blocker. He plays with good pad level and drives his feet on contact. His hand placement is good the majority of the time and he works to finish. … effort to sustain blocks is something that really stands out about his game. … violent pop at the point of attack. … He moves well to get to the second level. Really does a great job engaging and driving linebackers.
Clint Brewster named him the "most polished" kid in the class:
…has the footwork and hand technique of a college level offensive lineman. He keeps his hips down and his elbows inside to create power behind his hand-punch and really strikes people. He does a great job with leverage and using his body strength to overpower people.
There is also a slightly overheated report from Scout's Notre Dame site goes with "not a whole lot to critique" in its "room for improvement" section. While that's nice the report also ends with an assertion that going up against Bredeson is "like wrestling a bear" and that he "uses his hands like anvils." This is credibility-sapping, especially if you're a bear. Or an anvil, I guess.
On the other hand ESPN's evaluation is almost completely derailed by qualifiers about how he "flashes" things and "can" execute:
Prospect with very good height and bulk at this stage … displays very good playing strength. … Doesn't display a powerful punch and needs to continue to refine placement, but can do a nice job of with his hands of striking up and latching on and locking out on first contact. Can maintain a good base with ability to stay in front of rushers once locked on. … can be a strong multi-year starter for a Power-5 O-Line.
Until that last line there's not much to suggest they like him much at all since the entire evaluation is spackled with qualifiers about how he's not an NFL OL yet. It is what it is.
In addition to his relatively advanced technique, Bredeson brings an impressive physical package:
- Scout summary: "Outstanding overall prospect with good technique and ability to bend. Has good flexibility in his lower body and has no issue winning leverage battles even against shorter defensive linemen. Plays with a mean streak and finishes his blocks strong. Can still polish up his pass pro … but has all the tools and the intangibles to develop into a top flight college lineman."
- Blast-from-the-past Tom Lemming: "this guy is a brute … an exceptionally aggressive, athletic big guy. I know the Wisconsin staff thinks he might be the best offensive lineman to come out of that state since Josh Oglesby [the No. 10 player nationally in 2007] and Joe Thomas [a four-star in the Class of 2003]. Everyone thinks he has NFL future written all over him."
- Steve Wiltfong, 247: "…can absolutely bend, an agile lineman who is technically sound. Good agility and balance." Also: "top-of-the-board interior guy that has quick feet and frame that will add a ton of power as he continues to develop. Bredeson plays hungry on every snap, not one lazy play on film. He's a technically sound player with long arms and a plus athleticism in the trenches."
- Anon Scout person, at UA: "…has drawn rave reviews and has been one of the few to test and stop Rashan Gary."
- Evan Sharpley, 247: "…showcases tremendous technique highlighted by the exceptional use of his hands. Defenders have a difficult time with him because he is able to create space with his lengthy frame. Ample athleticism to move around the line."
- Tim Sullivan, Rivals: "outstanding quick first step off the ball … very tough finisher, burying the defensive lineman on almost every rep that he has the opportunity. … against truly talented edge rushers, he may not have the overall agility to fend off a speed move or its counters. … has the speed to get downfield, but sometimes finds himself in space hesitating instead of making a second-level block."
I should clarify that those reports about Bredeson stopping Gary were impressive because he could do it at all. His wins there were intermittent, not consistent.
The encouraging thing in there are many assertions that Bredeson can "bend" and has plus agility. Those physical attributes, especially the hard-to-teach and impossible-for-some ability to drive off the ball low, are rare. Many high school OL are big guys who can't get under their opposition and end up dumped in the backfield on the regular. Bredeson does not appear to have that problem.
The only remaining question marks are the problems that have bedeviled Kalis thus far in his career: can he be consistent mentally? How many errors does he make attempting to execute a rather complicated offense? If the answer is "a lot" then he'll end up a disappointing starter but a starter nontheless. If the answer is "very few" dude will be righteous.
Etc.: Wisconsin fans were pretty pretty mad that one guy managed to escape their clutches.
Why Mason Cole? Explained in the post. Bredeson is higher-ranked—Cole was just outside the top 100 most places—but Cole's well on his way to outperforming his ranking, in part because he must be in the 90th+ percentile mentally. Very few OL can slide into a starting lineup as a true freshman and not have that be a disaster. Thankfully, Bredeson does not have to do that.
If Bredeson does hit the All-American ceiling many project he will have he could end up playing a lot like Steve Hutchinson. Those are big expectations, but Hutchinson was also 6'5" and got up to around 313. He was the last truly great Michigan guard. Bredeson appears to have all the necessary material to hit the same level.
Guru Reliability: Exacting. UA game appearance, healthy, more or less total agreement in both scouting reports and rankings.
Variance: Low. I almost never issue a "low" for OL since even super-sure things like Patrick Kugler get buried on the regular, but Bredeson seems like an exception. Size, bend, and technique are all repeatedly praised. Versatility means he's not going to get stuck behind guys like Kugler has.
Ceiling: High. Could easily end up one of the top guards whenever he's NFL-draft eligible.
General Excitement Level: High. Big-time get for Drevno; Bredeson will probably be the first Harbaugh-era lineman to remind you of his work with the Cardinal.
Projection: Bredeson is one of the rare OL you could justify not redshirting since he's almost certainly headed for a starting job in 2017. Harbaugh took a redshirt off Grant Newsome last year when it became clear that he was a heavy favorite to start as a true sophomore, so there's precedent for such a move. You know me—I'd prefer a redshirt unless a kid is going to significantly contribute, especially at OL—but I won't complain too much if Bredeson is the sixth OL on goal line packages and the like.
It would be a major upset if Bredeson did not lock down a starting job in year two and leave Michigan a three or four year starter. His competitors in 2017 will be his classmates, who he's ahead of, and whoever of Dawson/Runyan/Kugler/Ulizio ends up panning out. (For purposes of this conversation I'm assuming a center who's amongst the best five OL kicks Cole to a guard spot or RT.) It's unlikely that three of those guys are better than him.
Hello: Luiji Vilain
Photo via 247
Michigan picked up an elite pass-rusher for the 2017 class this afternoon when Alexandria (VA) Episcopal four-star WDE Luiji Vilain chose the Wolverines over fellow finalists Virginia Tech and USC. Michigan's pursuit of the Canadian native dates back to the previous coaching staff; Vilain finally received his offer in March, and Michigan vaulted into the lead for good following an unofficial visit in May.
Vilain is the 14th commit in the 2017 class and the second at defensive end, joining in-state four-star Corey Malone-Hatcher.

Vilain is right on the edge of the top 100 prospects overall. Scout recently moved him up 65 spots in their latest re-rank, making Rivals—which dropped him 91 spots based on his performance at a recent Rivals camp—the outlier among the recruiting services.
Vilain is listed by every site at 6'4" and 238-240 pounds. He should be a weakside end at Michigan and only needs to add 10-20 pounds to be at a playable weight. He could also be utilized early in his career as a standup rusher at strongside linebacker; he's even played some MIKE in camp situations, but his future is on the edge.
Michigan started its pursuit of Vilain after his freshman season, when he and a couple fellow Canadian prospects hit the camp circuit—the 2014 Sound Mind Sound Body camp served as his coming-out party. By that time, he'd already caught the eye of Scout's Bill Greene at the Pylon 7-on-7 tournament, where he looked and played like an upperclassman:
Vilain already has the body type of a high school senior, and also has the ability to run and change direction. Watching him in action on both offense and defense, it was evident that he understands the game well and is being taught proper technique. It's exciting to imagine him in three years, and he should be a recruit with a tremendous offer list. There is nothing not to like with Luiji Vilain.
Vilain continued to hit up a variety of camps, and the evaluations were universally positive. 247's Steve Wiltfong named him one of the top performers at 2015's Best of the Midwest Combine—"There wasn't an offensive tackle that was able to regularly block him all day"—and awarded him "Alpha Dog" status as the best player at that summer's RAS Showcase:
The first thing that stands out about Vilain is his hunger. Nobody took more reps.
One of the standouts from last year's event, Vilain continues to develop physically. As a rising sophomore, one coach at the camp said that a year ago Vilain looked like a receiver with his hand in the dirt. Heading into his junior year, Vilain is filling out physically.
Ranked by 247Sports as the nation's No. 4 weak-side defensive end and No. 83, Vilain has a variety of pass rush moves in getting after the quarterback. His quickness off the edge is evident, but he's also strong with his hands.
Rivals' Josh Helmholdt thought Vilain looked so comfortable at DE at Ohio State's Friday Night Lights camp that he gave him an award usually reserved for receivers and running backs:
Smooth operator
DE Luiji Vilain, Ottawa (Ont.) Lester B. Pearson
This award usually goes to a skill position prospect, but on Friday night Vilain was as smooth as any of the guys catching or running with the football. He breezed through one-on-ones, registering easy wins against several offensive linemen who hold Power Five offers. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end still has room on his frame to add weight. That will help him at the point of attack without sacrificing much, if any, of the explosiveness he shows.
Vilain moved to Virginia before his junior season, and his impressive junior film helped him work his way up the composite rankings to #123 overall heading into this spring. Rivals was especially bullish, moving him up 66 spots to #84 overall in their postseason rerank:
"Vilain has the athleticism and strength to make a difference on every down. He sets the edge very well and is an asset as a run defender. As a pass rusher, Vilain has an extensive arsenal of moves to beat the offensive lineman and get to the quarterback. North Carolina is one of the most recent offers for Vilain." -- Friedman
More camps followed. Vilain showed off his versatility at this year's Pylon 7-on-7, making 247's "Dream Team" while lining up at the MIKE:
LB – Luiji Vilain, Alexandria (Va.) Episcopal – He looks like a prototype as a 3-4 outside linebacker but he was a natural in the middle on the weekend. Vilain can really run and play in space. Add that to his pass rushing ability and he's got great upside as a standup edge rusher.
Scout's Brian Dohn was impressed by Vilain's arsenal of moves at the New Jersey Opening regional last month:
The No. 16 defensive end in the class was quick off the line of scrimmage, and he demonstrated good balance and flexibility in the drills and also during 1-on-1 reps. He can dip his shoulder and get around the edge, and he was quick on the fake outside and then cut inside.
That performance, along with Vilain's overall body of work, led to Scout moving him up in the rankings this week:
The Alexandria (Va.) Espiscopal star jumped from No. 203 to No. 138 and he is announcing his choice June 10, and Michigan, Virginia Tech and USC are his finalists.
"A school is about to get a big-time pass rusher off the edge," said Dohn. "Vilain is quick off the edge, and he also has the athleticism to drop into coverage."
At the same time, Rivals moved Vilain down 91 spots after a subpar showing at one of their camps; frustratingly, there isn't any writeup on Vilain from the camp except the blurb that accompanied his ranking change:
"Vilain is normally a dominant force but that was not the same player at the New Jersey Rivals Camp. He was a little hesitant and when his initial outside speed rush didn't work there wasn't much he could do. Vilain, who is announcing his commitment on June 12, is an excellent athlete that could also play in space in college. Michigan, USC and Virginia Tech are his finalists." - Friedman
That seems like an overreaction based on one camp given all the other reports on Vilain from this spring, but only Rivals knows what they saw—outside reporters aren't allowed at their camps.
The overall picture from Scout's free evaluation is excellent—I started bolding the highlights and realized I was highlighting the entire paragraph:
EvaluationVilain is explosive off the edge. He's extremely athletic and very strong. Vilian changes directions well, has great speed and is good in pursuit. He is very good against the run and the pass. Vilain also has a high motor and plays very hard. He needs to continue to work on his technique and develop some moves, but he has a very high ceiling and the potential to become a dominant player at the collegiate level.
- Athleticism
- Speed
- Strength
Areas to Improve
- Techniques and Moves
Every high school prospect needs some level of technique work heading into college. Everything else is there for Vilain to be a top-flight edge player. Yesterday, he announced he'll play in the Under Armour All-American Game.
Vilain holds offers from Alabama, Boston College, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Miami (YTM), Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, UNC, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, UCLA, USC, USF, Virginia, Wake Forest, and Wisconsin.
Vilain transferred to Alexandria Episcopal along with two other high-level Canadian prospects. While four-star CB Patrice Rene is firmly committed to UNC, Vilain's Michigan commitment could be a draw for four-star S Jonathan Sutherland, who picked up an offer the same day as Vilain.
I couldn't find full stats—Vilain's MaxPreps page only has stats for one game (in which he had two sacks) last year.
Vilain's Hudl page lists an unverified time of 4.80, which gets two FAKEs out of five.
Junior highlights:
Sophomore highlights and single-game reels can be found on his Hudl page.
Vilain is the second-highest ranked prospect in the class, behind only Dylan McCaffrey, and if anything he looks like someone who could move firmly into the top 100 with a strong senior season. His abliity to get to the quarterback should help him see the field early, possibly as a situational rusher from the SLB position—if that's the case, he'd be competing for snaps with Noah Furbush and 2015 signee Josh Uche. In the long run, Vilain looks like an ideal weakside end, where the competition will be wide open in 2017. Vilain might need a year to add weight depending on which position he plays as a freshman, but I expect him to see the field early on as a situational rusher before becoming a multi-year starter.
Michigan is up to 14 commits in a class that should reach the mid-to-upper 20s. With Vilain and Malone-Hatcher in the class at WDE, Michigan can focus on landing an SDE like James Hudson and perhaps one more end. Other areas of need include WR, TE, OL, DT, CB, and S. Here's the class—which, I believe, will jump to #4 in the composite team rankings when Vilain is added—as it currently stands:
This Week's Obsession: Good Times With "Phew!"
The Question:
via Jane:
Guys lets talk about our favorite third down conversions I'll go first: 3rd and 12, at MSU, to Manningham: https://t.co/ua66YbunqG
— Jane Coaston (@cjane87) June 3, 2016
The Responses:
Adam: Michigan started the 1997 game against Ohio State—you know, the one with a shot at the Rose Bowl and national championship game on the line--with three three-and-outs; a five-play, zero-yard drive; and an eight-play drive that ended in yet another punt. Deep in the second quarter, Michigan was facing 3rd and 12 from their own 47 when Brian Griese hit Charles Woodson on a square-in for 37 yards.
Chris Floyd picked up 15 on the next play to put Michigan at the one-yard line, and Anthony Thomas punched it in one play later for Michigan's only offensive touchdown of The Game. That third-down conversion was one of two Michigan had in a game that came down to the last three minutes; I shudder to think what would happen if Woodson doesn't catch that ball.

Michigan-Notre Dame Tentatively Back On
[Eric Upchurch]
It's not quite official, but the head coaches of both ends of the rivalry more or less announced today that Michigan-Notre Dame will resume in the near future. Brian Kelly was more specific than Harbaugh:
"We're going to make that happen," the seventh-year Notre Dame head football coach said Thursday, relaxing in his office. "We've got some work to do, but we're going to make it happen.
"It's something (ND athletic director) Jack Swarbrick and I want to do, and we're going to get that game back together. We've got some challenges, but I think we can pull it off."
How soon?
"We want to do it as soon as we can," Kelly said. "We've got Michigan State home-and-home the next two years (2016-17), and then we're hoping to. We want to get in on the schedule as quickly as possible after that."
For his part, Harbaugh said they'd been working on resuming the series for "7, 8, 9 months" and that there were Ts to cross and Is to dot. Hoping those details include a rivalry trophy portraying Dave Brandon hunched over a computer, typing furiously.
Michigan currently has home games against Arkansas and SMU lined up for 2018 and an open date September 8th. It's an MSU/OSU away year and they should get the next home game in the series. ND currently has two openings in 2018, with Ball State scheduled for September 8th. They already have a couple of highly attractive home games in Stanford and FSU; their 2019 home schedule is currently pretty weak, with USC and not much else of interest. Resuming the series with a Michigan home game in 2018 appears to make sense for everybody.
The main problem: adding a game at ND in 2019 would lock Michigan into just five home games, which I assume is unacceptable. If the Arkansas return game gets moved—or that series gets flat-out canceled—they can get up to six. That would still be the fewest home games Michigan Stadium has seen since the move to 12 games. The ever-increasing blizzard of TV money makes it more likely Michigan can weather that financially, but it's a problem. One that the two sides appear to be working through.

I was referred to Tammy at Kat's for color help. I had gone to a very expensive salon and paid alot to come out with uneven color and it was super dry. Tammy told me it had to be treated and conditioned before she would even consider correcting it. I liked that she was honest and was worried about the condition of my hair. After a few treatments, she gave me the most beautiful color I've ever had and I couldn't believe that my hair felt better after she colored it. She told me she will use nothing but CHI hair color because it is ammonia free; and that she loved it and always trusted the results; and it also didn't stink; it actually smelled good; and the condition is unbelievable; I will never let anyone else touch my hair again; she also referred me to their massage therapist and that was the best ever too; so you can't go wrong here; thanks gals.

Weronika is a wonderful stylist. I have been going to her since I was 16. (I have lost her a few times when she switched salons, but always managed to find her again.) Her service is phenomenal and she always does a wonderful on my hair. I love that her salon is small and cozy. It's reasonably priced too for the quality of service. I no longer live in TX, as we are military, but everytime I come home, I stop in to get my hair done there. I have to find new salons where we are stationed to fill in when I can't get home in time for a touch-up and I'm always paying an arm and a leg for these "upscale" hair salons that just do an "OK" job. Most of the time, I feel like I'm paying for the fact they serve drinks and have an assistant than the actual service! Go to Weronika's! You won't regret it!
I am no stranger to getting the works done to my hair. Color, highlights, bangs, short cut and low lights is always what I have done and I change my mind every5 weeks. I like a change. I got it all done with 15% off for a new mane cut and 10 $ off for referring a friend. Cant beat that! I go to Courtney. She can just know what I want and I don't speak Hair! She is a pro! And the other girls there are so sweet and all take the time out to check my hair our! When I walked out today, I was struttin my stuff with confidence. New hair gave me a new attitude and I'm wearin it! Finally, a salon that just knows me and my hair. Will be back again and again!! PS- they always write u a price quote so no surprises!

While arrests and investigations reports on the chopper deal have been made in the past, Tuesday's arrest was a turning point as a very detailed account of the latest in the Italian investigation also came out. This was in the form of a 64 page report by the Italian prosecutors that described the case as it stands now.
Besides Orsi's arrest, the Italians also issued extradition requests to Switzerland for the custody of two key middlemen, Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa. More importantly, the report had explosive details of the investigations that included the names of Indians alleged to be. The first reaction of the government after the arrest was that it would conduct a CBI probe with Defence Minister AK Antony vowing that `no guilty will be spared'.
However, on Wednesday when the Indian Express broke the story that the report alleged that former air chief sp tyagi had received bribes to swing the deal in favor of the Italians, the government was forced into action with Antony saying that the deal will be cancelled if charges are credible.
The Indian Express also detailed how the kickback money was routed through elaborate engineering contracts that were bogus . The money was routed through Tunisia and Mauritius. By the same evening, Tyagi came on record to say that the technical specifications of the contract the timing of which is key to the investigation were made in 2003 when the NDA was in power and were on the directions of the then NSA Brajesh Mishra.
On Thursday, the Indian Express carried an exclusive story detailing the confession of middleman Haschke to Italian investigators in which he said that he met Tyagi several times and discussed the deal with him. He also admitted that he was paid a commission of Euro 20 million in the contract from Finmeccanica.
Hours after the story appeared, the Defence Ministry came out with its first detailed comment on fact sheet and timeline of the procurement. In this document, the government clearly says that the technical requirements were actually changed in 2005-06. However, the statement put the blame on the NDA government that a policy decision on the parameters were made in 2003 by Brajesh Mishra.
The ministry also said for the first time that the chopper deal has been put on hold with all payments to the firm being formally frozen.
The drastic action on the deal however came on Friday when the government put out a short statement to say that the deal has been cancelled and that a show cause notice has been served on AgustaWestland to terminate the contract. The government had taken a decision to recover the money and return the choppers, just three days after the CEO was arrested.
Also on Friday, the Indian Express reported that the web of defence agents involved in the deal went beyond the VVIP chopper. Christian Michel who got Euro 30 million was also a commission agent for French aircraft manufacturer Dassault between 1996-99. He had a contract for 2.5 percent commission for a deal to sell Mirage 2000 fighters to the Indian Air Force.
While revelations on the scam will keep on unfolding, the express reported on Saturday that despite claims by the MoD that it made all efforts to investigate the case ever since it was first reported by the newspaper in February 2012, it had ignored a CVC query for details on the procurement. The CVC query had gone In October, asking MoD for the contract details on the basis of an Express story that was carried on October 22.

We booked honeymoon package through colors of India Tours,on 29th April for 4th may... the response was very good by the office staff . Hotels provided were neat and clean. Customer friendly service was given to us at each and every step. Thanks for the cooperation. The driver was a little confused but then the operations department helped me through out the trip. People are cooperative professionally and personally. Next year will plan for Kashmir holiday. Hope fully the same level of quality service will be maintained by you.
Thanks to Priya ji.
God bless
Thanks and regards,
Raman Raheja

As a young boy I never paid much attention to angels on the way they looked all I knew about angels was they were there to protect you from negative encounters. While I grew older at times I would ponder whether the angels really were guides and helpers of human kind. During the end of my High school year I became ill and could not fall asleep this still happens until know. Before as I remember I would go out in to the night and watch the Milky Way during the summer months as I lay on my back and stear at the vast number of stars. I would always wonder about other existence out there, one particular night during the hot summer months of July I went out to an open field and like usual I laid on my back to relax looking at the stars like any usual time as before. I can remember looking at the Milky Way like any other time as I was getting really to call it a night, a light in the sky cough my attention, but this was not any ordinary star light. I was able to actually tell that the night was not way above me like any other star because I was able to judge the distance away from me. It was like once around the track of my high school field. I was very puzzled but not afraid; although the light was close to me compared to the stars I did not know what it was. All this took about a few minutes, what really caught my attention was when I would close one eye I cannot remember whether it was my left or right eye the light source would dimmed and as I opened my shut eye the light would shine again, nothing out of the ordinary. Since then I always want to believe the light was an angel; well I do not why any way I just want it to.
The years when by and my illness progress, whenever I would feel down I would always think of that light in which I saw. The years when on and on Because of my illness I was transfer to a boarding home in the capital state of Sacramento California. I lived in the city, in a very populated area. Because of my illness I guess I would at times go out in to the street and walk for hours at end just until I would be very exhausted. One day as I clearly remember I walked for a long time until I was very tired. This time I decided to rest next to an abandoned building on the overgrown grass , there was a sight with the letter G with like a ruler around it I cannot remember at this time what it stands for but I know what it is and the history of it. Well any ways as I laied with my back facing the sky in the middle of the hot hours another young man did the same, we did not communicate I figured he was just as tire as I was. He seemed very happy because of the happy smile on his face. I took my senses of the young lad and continued to stare in to the open sky; I figured what could be more delighted than the passing clouds. Behold to my surprice what I saw where not clouds or passenger airplanes what I saw was this humongous angel I mean it was hudge I am not pulling no one's leg here, this angel was covering the entire sky. O boy I could not believe my eyes but I mean it was an angel just like on the scriptures and in like they were described in mass. The reason I did not panic I guess was because this big angel was staring at me with a smile. I could not figure out if other saw the angel because the angel was covering the entire sky, how could anyone not see the angel thought, with the wings covering almost the entire sky. After a while I just left and went home I do not remember if the angel just left or what no. The only communication was the smile. As I try to remember of the occasion like details there are some obvious details I just cannot remember but I do know I memorized every detail I could after all who would not. Since that day I have become a happy person. I wish everyone in the word would had witness what I did, I do not think much of it because it was plain and simple, seeing is believing especially with one of the senses we humans cherish the most, sight. I personally believe that if any one wants to be a witness to the gifts of god. It will be granted sooner or later and sooner or later is better than never at all.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Unseen Force Of Death Lyrics
Artist: Mortician
Album: Re-Animated Dead Flesh
Visions of fast gruesome deaths
Coming back to haunt the present
Power within the mirror
Possessing to claim more victims
Pitchfork in your flesh
Blood seeping from your organs
Scissors in your neck
Fills your throat the blood is gurgling
Mirror exploding
Shards of glass are piercing your skin
Unseen force of death
Lust for blood and mutilation

Bud Bradshaw
Though his series of Zulu War prints won international recognition in the late 1980s, Bud Bradshaw has returned his focus to an emphasis on his first passion, the American West. An art major in his early college years, Bradshaw further honed his skills through study at the renowned Scottsdale Artists' School with Howard Terpning, Robert Abbett, Howard Rogers, Burne Hogarth, and others. He has won several prestigious awards, including the 1989 C.G. Rein Award, the 1991 Dan May scholarship in Scottsdale's Best and Brightest show, and Best of Show awards at the 2002 and 2006 Norco Western Art exhibits. A member of the Oil Painters of America, he won an Award of Excellence at the OPA's 2003 Annual Juried Exhibit. Bradshaw's work appears in private collections and museums in the U.S., Canada, England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Rome, Hong Kong, and South Africa. Several of his images have been issued as limited edition prints and appeared as magazine covers.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' Bloomquist out 6-8 weeks with two broken bones in hand
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Willie Bloomquist did not receive the news he was hoping for in regards to his injured left hand.
A CT scan revealed that Bloomquist will be sidelined for six to eight weeks with two broken bones in his hand.
"I had a suspicion that something was wrong in there," Bloomquist told reporters after Friday's 5-0 shutout win over the Rockies. "I wasn't expecting two broken bones, but it is what it is. It's frustrating. On a personal level, it's been that type of year."
Bloomquist also said the one break is identical to the one second baseman Aaron Hill suffered earlier this season.
The 35-year-old was hit by a pitch on the left hand on June 26. The D-backs put Bloomquist on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. Initial X-rays were negative but the CT scan showed the two broken bones.
He is hitting .292 with nine runs scored and eight RBIs this season.

VERNAL — Police say the death of a man whose body was found in his apartment over the weekend has been ruled a homicide by the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office.
Emergency medical personnel and officers were called about 6 a.m. Saturday to the Pheasant Glen Apartments, 1350 W. 100 North, according to Assistant Vernal Police Chief Keith Campbell.
"The call comes in that someone is possibly deceased and that there was a burglary," Campbell said.
Just inside the door of apartment No. 21, officers found the body of Christopher Alan Miller on the floor, the assistant chief said.
"All indications are that the victim would have known the assailant," he said.
Miller, 52, had injuries "consistent with an altercation," Campbell said, declining to go into any detail about what those injuries were.
"Because of the investigation, I don't want to go into the details of the scene," he said.
Police have not identified any suspects.

On the very day of her First Communion and Confirmation at the age of ten, Eugenia Ravasco, of Milan, Italy, began the habit of stopping to pray at every church she happened to pass. Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary were to become the hallmarks of Eugenia's spiritual life. At the age of eighteen, while considering the question of her vocation, Eugenia heard a priest in church ask the congregation, "Is there no one out there who feels called to dedicate himself to doing good for love of the Heart of Jesus?" The young woman heard in these words a personal message to her from God. Five years later, Eugenia undertook the foundation of a new religious congregation, the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, devoted to the educational formation of needy young women into "honest citizens in society and saints in heaven." Mother Eugenia died on December 30, 1900, having imparted to her congregation her own aspiration to "live in abandonment to God and in the hands of Mary Immaculate."
