Some Optimism for Wednesday

Well, from the looks of it as we stand now, the day the day that many high school athletes, coaches and parents cherish most in the athletic scene may be postponed or even cancelled. With one of the biggest snow storms we've encountered over that last few years on it's way targeting Tuesday night and lasting throughout Wednesday, we may have to wait for the much anticipated signing day or in some cases just have to do without for this year, as we are looking at not one snow day on Wednesday but perhaps another on Thursday.
However, I'd like to stay as optimistic as possible when looking ahead to Wednesday, I'll look at some interesting story lines to look at for Wednesday (or Thursday/Friday).

Troy Athens
Excitement should be running deep throughout Athens as they plan to have as many as 12 athletes signing off on where they'll spend their next four years. The Red Hawks 2011 class is headlined by receiver Jake Duzey who is expected to make it official on Wednesday by officially becoming an Iowa Hawkeye.

Bryan Bell, Walled Lake Central
Bell's decision on where he'll play at the next level is still in the works, but it should be an exciting day for head football coach Bob Meyer and the rest of Walled Lake Central. Bell, a Division 2 All-State selection projects as a guard at the next level is rumored to be mulling over offers from Central Michigan as well as Western Michigan.

Allen Robinson, Orchard Lake Saint Mary's
Robinson has long had his verbal commitment in to go and join former teammate and quarterback Rob Bolden at Penn State. The two made for one of, if not the best quarterback/Wide receiver tandems in the state as they led the Eaglets to the Division 3 state finals in 2009.

Central Michigan University Football
The Chippewas have already grabbed a number of verbal commitments from the top players in the County including defensive tackle Shafer Johnson from Southfield Christian, linebacker Tim Hamilton from Brother Rice, running back Anthony Garland from Ferndale, defensive back Stefon Armstead from Southfield-Lathrup and speedy wideout Jason Wilson from Farmington. It should be interesting to see how many more Oakland County recruits Dan Enos and company can get to play their college ball in Mount Pleasant.
