More Crystal Balls: Mason Graham and Amorion Walker

Submitted by mwolverine1 on September 16th, 2021 at 8:54 AM

The fallout from this weekend continues with Sam Webb adding new crystal balls for 3* DT Mason Graham and 3* ATH Amorion Walker.

Mason Graham is a highly productive 3 Tech from California who is currently committed to Boise State. West Coast insider Greg Biggins also put in a crystal ball for Graham to Michigan.

Amorion Walker is a versatile athlete that can play wide receiver or safety. He is 6'4" and supposedly ran a 4.4 40 at an Alabama camp. Walker is currently committed to Notre Dame, but blew up over the summer with Michigan, Alabama, and LSU offers. He is a Louisiana native who Ron Bellamy has been after hard.

Additionally, Webb put in a crystal ball for Kenneth Grant who is expected to announce by the end of the month.

Last note: Rivals analyst Woody Wommack put in a FutureCast for Deone Walker to Michigan. Good to see Michigan maintaining its lead there.

It's nice to know that Harbaugh & Company have turned up their recruiting fortunes.  Wish it made a difference before a year or two or three from now.  So, a little difficult to get over the top about it until you hear about a few 5 star guys committing.

For people like me who have no clue...

Kenneth Grant is a composite 3* DT out of Merrillville, IN

Deone Walker is a composite 4* DT out of Cass Tech. Apparently wants to model his game after Calais Campbell of the Ravens. You know, we may know a guy...

For a time Ohio St was thought to be in the lead for Grant:

— has been on the phone with Larry Johnson a lot.

“Coach Johnson thinks I have a lot of potential,” Kenneth Grant told Lettermen Row. “And it’s just not out yet. He recruits some players that are five-star prospects and at the peak of their careers already. I’m not one of those guys. He told me to know that I’m just getting started, but that he sees something great in me.”

Alabama was thought to be in the lead for Walker. I need to get to work, or I'd link stuff about that.

At the same time as crystal balls for Walter Nolan to Tennessee started coming out, this photo came out. Looks like Nick Saban switched for Nolen to Walker. Is Saban going to swing and miss on both Walter Nolan and Deone Walker?

The team needs more big wide receivers so I especially like Amorion Walker in this list.  Slot bugs are fun and all, but there are times when you need that big rangy receiver to bring down a contested catch over the head of a shorter CB down the sideline.  The extra speed Walker seems to have is a bonus.

This defensive class could turn out to be very impressive. Only through 2 games against not very good competition but Mcdonald is putting his guys in good position to make plays and players look at his NFL ties. If they land Jackson and keep Will Johnson we could have 2 true freshman starters at cb next year. 

Maybe gemon holds on to a spot and they go more 3 cb instead of 3 safeties.  

Some hulking dl in Grant and Walker 6'5 330 and 6'6 340. This could be a very dominant group for the next few years. 

Having very good oline play will also help to develop the dline. I think the Jeter hype has said as much about our oline as it has about his play the past few years.
