Michigan's Hot New Football Recruiter Has America's Attention After Sherrone Moore Scandal
This is how you tackle adversity.
Look, there's a lot of stress in this country right now. That's usually what happens when war breaks out in the Middle East, and we're in the middle of it. I'm 33. I've been here before. I've seen this movie. I get it.
That's why I'm choosing, instead, to focus on new Michigan football recruiter, Skylar Phan. Why in the world would I spend my Wednesday morning of WAR focusing on Michigan's newest addition to its football personnel department? Good question. Fair question.
The Wolverines are going through somewhat of a transition right now, given former coach Sherrone Moore was fired in disgrace (is that a thing?) last fall when it came out that he was having an affair with one of his staffers. Not great!
Michigan hired Kyle Wittingham to replace Moore (huge upgrade, by the way), and it appears Kyle ain't worried about following in Sherrone's footsteps.
And by that, I mean he hired maybe the hottest football recruiter this planet has ever seen:
Social media predictably reacts to Skylar Phan
Whoaaaaaaaaa Nellie! This is how you do it, boys and girls. What's that old driver's Ed tip? Turn into the skid? That's what Michigan is doing here.
One coach is canned because he was bagging the ball girl, and the next one hires a former USC, Texas and Raiders smokeshow to recruit the crap out of the next wave of Wolverine heroes. This is Kyle Wittingham playing the game. I love this move.
Don't run from adversity. Face it, head on.
For those wanting some background on Skylar Phan, she's an absolute DAWG in this industry. She's been with Texas, North Texas, and interned with the Raiders.
And for those who think she's all looks, you are WRONG. Grow up. Be better. She's leaving a USC program that just signed the No. 1 ranked recruiting class, per Rivals. That was all Skylar Phan.
"She’s an up-and-coming superstar in the landscape," a source told On3, which broke the story.
In more ways than one, pal.
Let's have a big Wednesday. War be damned.
