Joe Bolden's Flow
The Under Armour game and highlights are up at mgovideo, but let's face it, there was only one highlight for Michigan fans.
Keep in mind that this was the state of Jake Ryan's almost negative flow coming out of high school.

Flow + PAD LEVEL = DOMINANCE
January 7th, 2012 at 7:16 PM ^
Is low, and tight.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:54 AM ^
When I saw Joe Bolden's hair, it immediately reminded me of Jake Ryan as well. If he can play as well as Jake did as a (rs) freshmen, we're in for a treat.

army all-american game today at 1? will you do the same thing get highlights and the game? 5 michigan commitments could be 6 playing today.
January 7th, 2012 at 9:56 AM ^
Yeah, but probably not until tomorrow.
January 7th, 2012 at 9:09 AM ^
FWIW, during the Under Armour exhibition Rivals live blog commenters compared Bolden's style to Posluszny's.

This thread made me smileeeeeee....gotta love flow. Joe Bolden shall be a stud
January 7th, 2012 at 11:16 AM ^
Quick question - how do you pronounce "smileeeeeee" ? In my head I want to say "smiiiiiiiile" but that doesn't seem to be what you're going for or perhaps "smillllllllle" but that then creates a short "i" sound and I get confused. Is this a different way of typing "..." ? I just don't know what it means to extend multiple silent "e"s... Maybe I just need more coffee.
January 7th, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
I feel as though it was more drawn out over the entire word..sort of a, "smiiiiilllllllle." Anyway, just makes me smile. Probably though.

+1 for an awesome NTTAWWT-ish post on a Saturday morning.

Bolden is sweet. Has anybody ever seen Jack Lambert's shoe in the Pro Football HOF when he had turf toe?
Go Blue!
January 7th, 2012 at 9:57 AM ^
footbaw style.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:10 AM ^
If he gets sent up for boosting cars because HIS BROTHER DID IT BUT HIS BROTHER HAS A CHILD COMING I'm going to be upset.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:16 AM ^
seen tim riggins and joe bolden in the same place at the same time?
January 7th, 2012 at 10:29 AM ^
Why do you think Friday Night Lights had to end? Timmy set his Michigan commitment as priority #1.
January 7th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ^
Fucking Billy. Means well, but always getting them into trouble. But he means well, and now he's coaching the Panthers. And Tim is NOT going to leave U of M during welcome week, drive all the way back to Dillon, TX in his trusty old pickup whilst throwing his college textbooks out the window. Don't do it, Riggs.
Also, if Bolden/Riggs goes to jail for something Coach Hoke/Taylor knows, deep in his heart, he didn't do, but took the rap for because he's such a good kid....I hope Coach Hoke/Taylor responds to Bolden/Riggs' letters. (That scene...was awesome).
January 7th, 2012 at 10:11 AM ^
I worried based on the thread title that this was going to somehow involve an awkward attempt by Joseph to rap. So glad I was proven m wrong, now I don't have to jump off that bridge...
January 7th, 2012 at 10:14 AM ^
Watch for the team theme to shift from dreads to flow as we shift players recruited by the different coaching staffs. There are a few players and commited recruits who have the potential for some flow.
January 7th, 2012 at 11:19 AM ^
Actually, dreads ARE the flow for AA players. Hoke is just keeping up the trend because he knows there's strength and speed in long hair.
January 7th, 2012 at 11:58 AM ^
Equals Serious Samson-ism.
Hide those scissors, Delilah.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:15 AM ^
...yearns for flow like that. Sigh.

the flowing locks dangling out of their helmets would create drag thus hindering their speed.
On the other hand, maybe their strength lies within their long hair. Both players have improved as their hair has gotten longer.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:30 AM ^
Thanks for the video. We all really appreciate the work.
Watching the Bolden-only highlights, it seems like he really needs to work on wrapping up and making form tackles. Most of the plays he was in on involved him grabbing at a runner with his arms fully extended. While he could usually turn the guy or slow him down, there weren't many clean takedowns.
He's an early enrollee, so I'm sure the defensive staff will work with him on that well before he sees game action, but I will be interested in comparing his performance to James Ross today at the Army All-American Bowl. I get the impression that Ross is the most college-ready of the linebackers Michigan is bringing in.

It's uncanny;
Remove all the flowing locs, athletic ability, & determination to succeed,
add 30 yrs, 100 lbs, and a worn-dowm cynical view of the world,
and Joe Bolden & I could be twins!

January 7th, 2012 at 10:47 AM ^
Embrace the flow.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:52 AM ^
You can't play MANBALL with guys who wear pink hairbands.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:08 PM ^
A pink headband (or polo shirt with popped collar) has always been the mark of a true man's man. It tells the world, "Sure, I could dress in a more blatantly heterosexual manner, but I'm so tough I don't have to."
For reference, see such historical badasses as Zack Morris, the rich kids from The Outsiders, and Richard Simmons.

Of a balding freak in white and red shorts sweating to the oldies.
January 7th, 2012 at 10:53 AM ^
Joe B's flow is pyroclastic
January 7th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
Mt. St. Helens pyroclastic flow
January 7th, 2012 at 11:01 AM ^
Bolden is drippin with so much swag it hurts
January 7th, 2012 at 11:08 AM ^
Our LBs will have the best hair in the nation.
January 7th, 2012 at 11:54 AM ^
JR and JB raging buckets of lettuce. Thank you name sake.
January 7th, 2012 at 2:29 PM ^
Have I just been seduced?
January 7th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ^
I wish my hair flowed that well
January 7th, 2012 at 7:18 PM ^

January 7th, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
