...A friend just emailed me an article from yesterday's Memphis newspaper. Following are UM-relevant excerpts:
Memphis Commercial Appeal USA TODAY NETWORK - TENNESSEE
Lausanne running back Eric Gray says he is still '100 percent committed' to Michigan. In fact, he says the Wolverines are winning a 'one-horse race.'
'But I still have to take my visits, see everybody and make sure Michigan is the best place because I only took two visits. I gotta make sure,' he said after scoring six total touchdowns in Lausanne's 55-14 win over St. George's on Friday.
The 5-10, 185 pound tailback visited Ole Miss last Saturday.
'It was a pretty good visit. Oxford is a great town,' said Gray. 'I love going down there. It’s close to home, it’s easy to get to. It’s just a great place.”
Gray is also scheduled to visit Tennessee. He is looking forward to seeing what the Vols have to offer, but said that there's only one way another school could sway him from Michigan.
'Because it's South and it’s closer,' said Gray. 'That would be the only way. If you can give me the same thing as Michigan, but closer.”
When asked about what draws him to Michigan, Gray quickly rattled off three things.
“One, Ann Arbor. Two, the coaches. Three, the fans. They’re just awesome,' said Gray. 'They DM me all the time and tell me how much they love me and want me to get down there. Ann Arbor is a beautiful place. (Assistant) Coach Jay (Harbaugh), I think he’s doing a great job with the running backs, Karan (Higdon) and Chris (Evans), how he’s developed them over the years. I feel like he can do the same with me.' Gray gave more detail about his fondness for Ann Arbor, saying that he is drawn to the college tow n's atmosphere.'Just the small space, like, everybody is a family around there,' said Gray. 'If you go up there, it’s a family atmosphere. Everyone is loving each other. Wherever you go, people love Michigan players.”
