Kind of expected, not real shocked.

Dude has great hips.

You're talking purely from a scouting viewpoint, correct??

From the story:

Seastrunk recorded 1,085 all-purpose yards this fall. He has fantastic hips and perhaps the best footwork of anyone in the class of 2010. He is also a talented receiver out of the backfield with under-appreciated hands.

I honestly don't know if I have ever heard that about a player before. A dancer, or model maybe but not a football player.

From what I was told, Seastrunk gave the Oregon staff a verbal after their in-home visit last week, which is why I have been saying "not gonna happen" for the last week.

Just means he can cut on a dime and change direction without losing much of his top end speed kind of like DeAngelo or Devin Hester.

Well...I'm sure Coach Porter and his staff did their best, and it was great that U of M was even in the hunt.

So...anyone have any ideas which of our rb's will have a breakout year next season?

No surprise. No real suspense either.

UofM having a good season or two will get the attention of more upper level recruits. Coming off a 2 win season and a new coach, I am surprise that they are getting the mid-levels they are. Kudos to Coach Porter and staff.
I went back several season and this class has the most mid level recruits than any in recent years and signing day isn't here yet.

It will be interesting to see what offensive and defensive systems Porter employs. If he can have a .500+ season, that would be a successful 1st season and a great building block for future years.

I like your explanation better. Shakira has fantastic hips; I would never say that about another dude though. :lmao:
