Help on the Way?

 

This is something I have never seen before.  I went to Grosse Pointe South.  For those who don't know, that is the high school for Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, and the City of Grosse Pointe.  

If you could characterize it, it is generally considered a spoiled rich kids place.  Usually their varsity sports teams are average or below, particularly for a large, public high school.  Occasionally they have some good teams but they never make it further than qualifying for real titles.  Same with, at times there are players who earn scholarships--Michigan has had players from Grosse Pointe on the roster--but they don't make it past that, just a roster spot.

Young Will Johnson is setting a precedent.  For those who don't follow, don't get too excited about the 100% Michigan prediction.  Johnson is in the next, next class.  But at least it isn't one of those 100% green forecasts.  The Alabamas and Clemsons are sure to swoop in.  Michigan has held them off before.

Despite the woeful on-field performances, Harbaugh and staff have held the 2021 recruiting class together.  It is the inverse team sucks national recruiting jump effect.  Kids want to play.
