Gelen Robinson class of 2014
75 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, nine sacks, 28 hurries, four pass deflections and three fumble recoveries. He also had two blocked punts that were returned for scores. *stats from Rivals*
The younger brother of Glen Robinson III sounds like a real stud on the football field. He also won his weight class in wrestling, at what sounds like a state district or regional tournament. He said he hasn't talked to a lot of colleges yet, but he does like Michigan. I'm not sure what division St John Lake Central is in football in Indiana, but those are pretty impressive stats for a soph. I'm sure we'll be hearing his name a lot.

that family really likes the name glenn and all similar names.
February 14th, 2012 at 1:00 PM ^
That's hilarious! Using only one name for a bunch of kids - I can't imagine WHAT he was thinking......
February 14th, 2012 at 2:22 PM ^
He was thinking you don't mess with perfection! i named all my kids George Foreman too!
February 14th, 2012 at 3:04 PM ^
Yeah, keeping the names as similar as possible, unlike the Grady family.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
But, Kevin Grady's name only differs by one letter than Kel.....
... I see what you did there
February 15th, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
... are cousins (as I'm sure you are aware). AFAIK, the rest of the Grady's have unique names.
February 14th, 2012 at 2:55 PM ^
fail. Huh.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:21 PM ^
Lake Central is in 5A which is the biggest division for Indiana football.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
that makes it even more impressive

February 14th, 2012 at 12:26 PM ^
Gelen = Beig Deog Tehree!
February 14th, 2012 at 12:27 PM ^
Don't like his wrestling background. That hasn't worked out too well for us in the pa-

I actually quickly met MIke Martin this past Friday at Dayglow at Kalamazoo. Cool guy. Later I saw him and Steve Watson both shirtless messing around and dancing and talking to girls. Pretty crazy seeing a 300lb man/bear dancing at a Dubstep/Techno Paint Party.

When I was a student, his dad almost became a FabFiver. He said that he'd have went to Michigan instead of Purdue had he known Webber and Rose would commit. Granted that Ray Jackson already committed and it'd have been the Fab Six then, I guess.
February 14th, 2012 at 1:20 PM ^
And Jason Bossard would've been without a scholarship. (Bossard was my favorite ever pre-game UM player...jackin' up 3's from 35 feet in warm-ups, etc.)
February 14th, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
I played against Bossard and Voskuil at the IM building. Voskuil was obviously better than everyone else in the building. Bossard? Not so much.
February 14th, 2012 at 8:37 PM ^
Summer of '92. I was at the IM Bldg all the time shootin' around. Voskuil was always there. I think you dunked on me, I punched you in the nuts, and we scuffled a bit. No harm, though. I respect your game.
February 14th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
I just abused myself with the thought. Could you imagine the rotation possiblities with GRII in that roster?!?!
February 14th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
article and just posted it here.It's almost a cut and paste job.
February 14th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
the stats yes. You can also find the stats at the HS website or many other websites. But to make you happy, I will credit rivals for that information
Not sure why people are more concerned with bringing down others, instead of talking about Michigan related topics.
February 14th, 2012 at 2:35 PM ^
February 14th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
many but he is definitely one of the more annoying ones. Thanks for the info.
Hopefully you aren't waterboarded for posting something that one can find on 8 billion free websites.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
from the "8 billion free websites"? No, the OP just reposted someone else's paywalled work. And 8 billion websites? Really? As of today there are 8.31 billion websites, I doubt 8 billion of them are dedicated to college football recruiting.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
I'm just saying that literally everything you wrote in your post was written by someone else in a paywalled article on a paid site. How was I bringing you down? Were your feelings hurt when I downvoted you?
February 14th, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
no but....
February 14th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
if you look at your previous comments on this blog, all you did is bitch and complain about everyone else. Is your life really that bad, that you feel the need to complain on a Michigan blog every day?
February 14th, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
Please show me a comment, from every day, where I'm bitching. Is your self-esteem really that low? That the moment some guy online says that you stole information from a paywalled article you start crying? Don't act like you're on the higher moral ground when you're most obviously not. Next time, just don't steal it.
February 14th, 2012 at 1:16 PM ^
We talked about him December, if anybody wants to revisit this thread:

Oops, wrong spot, but I don't believe Michigan would have taken Glenn Robinson with the Fab 5 as he was Prop 48.
February 14th, 2012 at 2:24 PM ^
I don't know if Michigan later changed its policy on Prop 48 players, but Rumeal Robinson and Terry Mills were both Prop 48.
February 14th, 2012 at 2:49 PM ^
February 14th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
We could simply call him "the doctor". Or, to be accurate, "Medicus".
February 14th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
I was assuming the first "e" is silent, so it's pronounced "Glenn."

Robinson is currently 44-4 as a sophmore at the 220lbs weight class in Indiana and will be wrestling in the individual high school state championship this Friday and Saturday. Indiana does not have a class wrestling system and takes 16 wrestlers per weight class to state. Robinson is currently ranked 3rd in the state at 220. 3 of his 4 losses have been to the #1 ranked wrestler. He does have one victory against over the #1. As a former wrestler and life long Indiana high school wrestling fan, I can tell you that it is not common to see a 10th grader ranked this high in a weight class that is normally dominated by seniors. www.broadcastsport.net. They broadcast the entire Indana state championship. Gelen should wrestle late in the evening on Mat 4.
If you would like to watch Gelen wrestle this weekend, go toFebruary 14th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
Good lord, trying to find a website that has individual state rankings for wrestling is painful. My cousin wrestles at Perry Meridian, and I was curious where he was ranked this year. I know he didn't make it as far as he was expected to after his club wrestling season, but I still wanted to find more info on him.

Wait a minute. Instead of going with Galen with an A, they instead invented their own name and called him Gelen with an E?
