Will Campbell

I hope Campbell goes out with a bang in this bowl game. He is a great kid and class act. His play has already got him to about a 6th round pick. A good bowl game and offseason workouts (might be the strongest player in the draft) could bump him up to 4th round territory.

yep I think his total 180 in terms of his work ethics and what he's now willing to put into his game has really helped him turn it around. I think it's safe to say he's been a bust when speaking in relative terms but you have to take that with a grain of salt. Not every kid pans out. He just happens to be one of the more high profile guys that didn't. I'm also convinced that part of that blame lies on the the previous regime but I'll not get into that now.

Not sure if anyone remembers the guy before Will, Marcus Slocum, that didn't pan out either. Had big hopes for Marcus and he never even made it on the field. JT Turner, Grady, etc. etc. the list goes on and on. But I definitely want to root for and see Big Will make it in the next level because even though he started out the wrong way, he's seemed to right his ship and I'm pretty confident that he should be successful in whatever it is that he chooses to do in life. Hopefully for him, his dream is realized and it's in football.

Something to ponder, was it the major regime change that totally changed BWC's attitude? I think so. Rich Clod wanted speed and trickery, really didn't care about defense. Coach Hoke comes in with a major emphasis on defense and personal accountability and voila...

Imagine BWC if he had 4 years with Coach Hoke. This also proves that Michigan recruits itself (of course we already knew that).
