Greise had some scholarship offers but chose to take a preferred walk-on spot at Michigan. IIRC, he was pretty much guaranteed to get a scholarship at some point but just had to wait for whatever reason. Given who his dad was, he could afford it.Lankownianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-18175451831978131502012-06-23T10:10:13.241-04:002012-06-23T10:10:13.241-04:00Don't hold your breath.Don't hold your breath.Lankownianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-20260240225796153252012-06-23T08:49:18.708-04:002012-06-23T08:49:18.708-04:001 carry for 3 yards?

If Hopkins goes down Michigan will just use H-backs or another RB in the backfield - or more WR formations. <br /><br />His high school stats were put up for a small school in an extremely weak league, so I wouldn't read too much into that.<br /><br />I'd be surprised if Kerridge played a meaningful amount before his junior or senior year, if ever. He's still rather small to be an impact blocker. He could play some special teams, replacing McColgan, but I kind of doubt it this year unless he puts a lot of gym work in.Lankownianoreply@blogger.com
