Quote Of The Day
“Ronald was a great player at Shaw. “He was one of the best players in Shaw history. He went to Michigan and did well. He can tell his own story, and it’s legitimate. Those kids liked him. It’s hard not to like him. They went up there and visited, and they liked it. It’s that simple. They just connected. Ronald can recruit, now (laughs). He worked his magic.”
— Hank Tierney, the head coach of New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw on Michigan wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator Ron Bellamy
