Be Afraid, Big Ten, Be Very Afraid

Who says the Big Ten doesn't have speed?

Well, that's a thing of the past, at least for the consensus greatest team in the Big Ten (sample size: me). Check this out:

Player, position, forty time:

Terrence Robinson, RB, 4.4
Roy Roundtree, WR, 4.4
Michael Shaw, RB, 4.4
Darryl Stonum, WR, 4.4

Speedy kids, terrible players? All four-star recruits from around the country. One of them, Shaw, just de-committed from Penn State to go to A2. We also managed to surprise-nab Ricky Barnum, a 4-star OL recruit who had committed to Florida.

A good recruiting class gets better; we still haven't heard from Pryor though, and McGuffie seems to be rethinking his commitment to Michigan. That's alright, though...Terrence Robinson is actually a higher-rated all-purpose back.

Overall, a positive day for the Blue.
