Michigan Thursday: Calvin Anderson Ready To Announce This Weekend

burtorangenation.com

We all know too well that Michigan didn't hit a home run in offensive line recruiting in the 2018 class.   So our next best hope was finding a graduate transfer.   Calvin Anderson from Rice is the top offensive tackle transfer prospect and many big time teams are coming after him like Texas, Auburn, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and others. 


The issue is Calvin's home town is Austin, Texas and "its hard to say no when Mamma calls", was the famous Bear Bryant line.   The other problem is, Jimmy for some reason put Tim Drevno in charge of his recruitment and they hit it off.  They went to Top Golf and did other fun things together, it was a start of a regular bro-mance.   Calvin is also a big fan of recruiting director Matt Dudek and (hopefully soon-to-be starting QB) Shea Patterson.   The other advantage Michigan has is, Calvin would be able to block an NFL worthy D-Line during practice at Michigan and getting prepared for the NFL draft is the reason Calvin is looking for a one year gig.


Reports though are that OL Coach Ed Warinner hasn't been down to visit with Calvin at all.   So Michigan has a chance, but probably a slim one right now.   There was also a rumored back-up plan for a SEC offensive lineman that now seems to be off the table.   If Calvin doesn't pick the Wolverines, their best bet is to see what the transfer market looks like after Spring Practice.   We all know how difficult it is for transfers to qualify academically in Ann Arbor, so there maybe little to no options in that pool either.  If your wondering about Calvin academically, he is graduating in a degree in Mathematical Economic Analysis.   This transfer seems like a good experiment in his own mathematical economic analysis and whether he will get to the NFL or not. 


Calvin is expected to announce sometime on Saturday.
