Video interview...reacts to his team's loss to Orchard Lake St. Mary's.

I've heard from several people at that game that OLSM is loaded with future D-1 underclassmen, but that the best of the bunch is Dion Sims. Sims is a Terrelle Pryor like athlete. He's 6'5", 225-pounds, he's very well developed and cut up, and he probably runs a legit 4.4/4.5 in the 40. He's just a very fluid, smooth athlete with great speed who runs like a gazelle. He's also like Pryor in that he might be a Top 100 basketball prospect as well.

He didn't have a bad game. OLSM only threw the ball 8 times all game. He bit on a shorter route and got beat deep one play. He had good enough recovery speed to make up and get in the kids back-pocket, just didn't have quite enough height to make a play on the ball. It was a really great throw and a nice catch. If he was 5'11 or 6'0 instead of 5'8.5" he might've been able to break it up. He was very physical with Dion Sims and was getting right up in his face and trading blows with him. They didn't match-up very often, but when they did Cissoko was on Sims like white on rice.

Did you read the interview? He openly admitted he could have played a lot better. His own self evaluation is enough for me.

From GBW...talks about his team's win against Cody. Says the UM loss does not make him question his commitment one bit.

Visiting the Illini.. Might be not be as solid as everyone thought?

It basically sounds like Cissoko is worried about the current coaching staff leaving, and if they stay, so will he.

As much heat as Carr gets, players seem to all love him.

Cissoko denies that he is looking at any other schools.

From the Illinois site...says he is still in contact with Illinois, Purdue, Penn State, Notre Dame and Michigan State but is solid to Michigan as long as nothing changes (i.e. the coach staff). Is going to Champagne this weekend, Purdue next weekend and ND for the USC game.

This is the article that lead to the update TheMile posted where Boubacar emphatically states he is 100% committed and not looking around...

[TheMile]

Yeah, the Scout article basically was just damage control. He might not be visiting anyone else now, but if Carr leaves I expect he will.

[ThWard]

Hate even hearing this type of stuff, but the fact is, Carr is still going to be part of this program no matter what, so hopefully that makes a difference (depending on what his coaching future is).
