This is Chris Freeman. Chris is 6'7" and 325 pounds. He plays basketball and recently took up football in his senior year at Trotwood, Ohio. Michigan has a strong recruiting connection in Trotwood, Ohio; Mike Shaw, etc. We post this because we had a strong positive feeling about the potential of a 6'7", 325 pound monster as a future offensive tackle. Basketball, his first love, takes a bit more athleticism than other sports and athleticism in an offensive lineman is a good indicator of future success as opposed to just being a rather large, junk food eating, and sassy Boren.
After we saw this question asked on MgoBlog.com and the response by MGoObes (who seems to have some clue as to what he/she is talking about) "We aren't really after him anymore" we wondered why? Michigan football likes linemen. We like linemen. Michigan football likes projects. We like projects. Chris Freeman is both a lineman and a project. He did not start every game in his FIRST SEASON of organized football. This is not shocking to us. He may need some coaching. We have a coach. This all adds up to potential awesomeness with a side of excitement. We have a class of 25 to fill, with the departure of Beaver we have 20 commits... why not add mini Escalade to the fold?
