Those are not good odds. I follow Michigan recruiting, not Holloman specifically....don't really get into the individual players until Michigan (or UVA) makes a narrow list. Holloman did not have a narrow list.

That's the thing...the prevailing opinion amongst the blue faithful was that recruits like him would be falling at DickRod's feet. I'm not saying you, but go read the archives on most um boards. So far, it's not happening and um does not seem to be the favorites for a whole lot of top-flight talent. At least not on the level many seemed to be hoping.
