Name: Courtney Avery
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs.
High school: Lexington High School in Lexington, OH
Position: Cornerback
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: N/A
Prediction: Redshirt
Avery is a 3-star cornerback out of Ohio, who was also Lexington's starting quarterback. And a very good quarterback, at that. There has been some talk from opposing coaches that if Avery were a few inches taller, he'd probably be playing quarterback in college. Avery is just a good overall athlete, and has a chance to be a very serviceable corner for the Wolverines.
But that probably won't happen this year. The word is that the coaches really like his potential, but he's probably not physically (165 lbs.) or mentally (he was the starting QB) ready to play just yet. I imagine he'll have at least a year of sitting on the bench before earning some playing time. It's important for him to get to a decent playing weight of 180-185 lbs., but with Troy Woolfolk graduating after this season, Avery could battle for a starting job as a redshirt freshman.
ok obviously im new to touchthebanner. can you(or someone) explain to me wat exactly you are counting down? being new to michigan recruiting in general, im completely lost. obviously, you are counting down recruits. but why start at #86? obviously, UM doesnt have 86 commits from 2010. are you talking about every UM player? id appreciate some help. thx in advance.

It's a countdown from "Least Important Player in 2010" to "Most Important Player in 2010." I did it last year, so the people who weren't around (like yourself) might not understand, I guess. Obviously, the freshman who are redshirting are the least important for this year.
ReplyDeleteya i sorta jumped around numbers wise and slowly started to pick up that feeling. im sure everyones holding their breath as to who gets the nod from you: DRob or tate? care to hint?

Story mentioned a couple weeks ago that he had a top seven or eight, and Michigan wasn't in it. I was never really counting on him to consider us seriously, but he's a good player. Oh well.
