Don Brown no longer works at Michigan but is still giving us a hand, or more specifically, his best cornerback. UMass transfer CB Josh Wallace announced this morning that he's committing to Michigan. Committed #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/JIU7o8Sor2 Josh Wallace🏝 (@Joshwallace 12) June 7, 2023 The grad transfer is on his (last) COVID season of eligibility. He has decent size but up-and-down grades on PFF over four seasons of starting at Amherst, the first three of those in the milquetoast Quarters/Cov2 system of Charlie Strong acolyte Tommy Restivo before Brown installed a more aggressive Cover 1 scheme. He was also a two-time captain. Wallace's other main consideration was a guarantee to play immediately at Virginia Tech; the other serious offers were from Oklahoma and Iowa. In my limited scouting Wallace looks like a functional player but not a star, more long than tall, and excellent at press coverage versus UMass-caliber competition. Speed looks average for the Big Ten. H

Good morning!
It’s been a while since West County’s Jim “Skip” Smith left the ‘Falls to be a freelance television cameraman. He wound up in Tampa, got married, raised a family and toted handhelds around Amalie Arena covering Tampa Bay Lightning games. He’s covered the Rays, the world water skiing championships in South America, Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Orlando and everything in between.
He was going strong until a year ago when he tripped and fell. Two weeks later he was out on the links, swung a club and doubled over in pain, unrelenting pain. “It got to the point where I needed a walker to get around and was sleeping in a recliner,” said Smith.
