There’s not much I can say here that hasn’t been said. Both of these high profile wide receivers were drafted early and pretty much did nothing, ever. On one end of the spectrum, there was the injury plagued Rogers, who wasn’t able to bounce back from consecutive season-ending collarbone injuries. And, of course, there’s Williams, who been unable to bounce back from eating too much.
i personally think it’s perfectly acceptable to still wear this charles rogers jersey–which i bought for $15 at TJ maxx midway through his last season.
stay tuned for some rogers action in the CFL? maybe?
tommy amaker, former men’s basketball coach at michigan, is doing his best at bringing some state school flavor to harvard.
Like all the universities in the Ivy League, Harvard does not award athletic scholarships.
Yet the group of six recruits expected to join the team next season is rated among the nation’s 25 best. This is partly because Harvard Coach Tommy Amaker, who starred at Duke and coached in the Big East and Big Ten conferences, has set his sights on top-flight recruits. It is also because Harvard is willing to consider players with a lower academic standing than previous staff members said they were allowed to. Harvard has also adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
i also like how he “starred at Duke and coached in the Big East and Big Ten conferences.” we can’t even get a real shout out? ugh. i guess a 43-53 conference record will do that. hiyo. anyway, i just like how amaker is ushering in a “new era” of shadiness for harvard sports. a more succinct description of his shenanigans here.
also, if you needed any other michigan sports-related news to take pride in, our dear women’s basketball coach showing the composure of a true michigan man:
