Good pick-up. Added experience and depth in the secondary, where we really need it. Welcome to the Banks!

 

[Queztastic]

Great pickup. Could use depth in the defensive backfield after last season.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Transfer don't sign LOI's.

Transfer don't sign LOI's.

Well then change the thread title to "transfers" instead of "commits".

He has to graduate before he transfers. This is technically called a "commit".

[RutgersRaRa]

[RU4Real]

Graduated from UM in 3 years.

 

[PaKnight]

Graduated from UM in 3 years.

Techmically, 3.5 years. He was an EE still impressive.

 

[Rnation]

[RutgersRaRa]

Graduated from UM in 3 years.

This is nuts given their schedules. And he was EE, which makes it that much more impressive. Dude is bringing B1G smarts with him. Nice.

 

[RU62]

I'll make this trade for the BC tight end any day. A good student and football player whose played in the B1G. Usually kind want uo stay away from any dissing a player or coach but screw you Campanile and Idzick.

:beer::boom:

 

[MachiKnight]

Welcome aboard!

 

[miker183]

Two years to play, and graduated in THREE years. I am impressed.

Welcome, and enjoy your time On the Banks.

 

[rucoe89]

Techmically, 3.5 years. He was an EE still impressive.

Oh wow - seriously smart kid!

 

[RAA-1]

You will enjoy your time at RU. I enjoyed grad school at RU even more than undergrad.

 

[RUScrew85]

Very nice pickup in many ways.

 

[RURod]

Nice add to a position group that needs experience and depth. And graduating in 3 years is nothing to sneeze at! The kid has to have his act together.

[RU#1fan]

played DB in High School.
Was a 4 star recruit.
Great addition. Welcome !

 

[1devotedfan]

Wow Welcome

 

[SkilletHead2]

Techmically, 3.5 years. He was an EE still impressive.

Is techmically like, "Sure 'n' begorrah, that's the spirit, young Dougal, but 3.5 is more precise, doncha know."(?)

(Lighten up, I'm Irish.)

 

[devoted2ru]

WELCOME, Mr. Douglas, to "The Banks"!!

 

[ScarletKnight1]

welcome to the banks

 

[DHajekRC84]

Welcome and thanks ! We've got a campus named after you :sunglasses:

 

[Pils86]

This is a big pickup. Ash will need to show something in his first year on the field to get recruiting going and experienced guy at a position of need will help.

Is he coming this fall? If so, what is he doing this spring? I assume Harbaugh won't want him practicing with the team.

Not coming till Fall as he will be finishing up his degree at Michigan this spring and will graduate on May after only 3 years at UM.

 

[MV9000]

Very solid pick up. Could use some more talented DB's.

Any analysis from Michigan fans yet?

 

[RUTrack94]

BOOM!

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Welcome to the banks, Douglas!

 

[Knight Shift]

Any analysis from Michigan fans yet?

He switched from corner to RB and played very little. He wants to play corner. Michigan fans were pleased that he graduated with a degree and opened up another scholarship. I got this from an article on the Detroit Free Press:
