From GBW...video of Cissoko.

Quote:

Detroit Cass Tech recently squared off with cross-city adversaries Renaissance and Northwestern for a little 7-on-7 action, which meant Boubacar Cissoko would be squaring off with stock on the rise prospects Sam Gaymon and Anthony Hollis. GoBlueWolverine was on hand to for yet another video feature on Cissoko in action (we've done five others), and the Michigan CB commit didn't disappoint.

Boubacar Cissoko got straight to the point.

"I think this is the biggest season for me," he said.

Cissoko is a senior cornerback/return specialist/flanker for Detroit Cass Tech. He has already made a verbal commitment to U-M. He's one of the state's top recruits. And yet people continue to doubt him.
