Mike Hart dishes on CJ Stokes
Michigan freshman running back CJ Stokes was just a three-star recruit, but Hart loved his film and track times, and gave him a shot. He believed in him, and Stokes has proven him right so far. He rushed 6 times for 35 yards against Colorado State.
“I always tell guys this — at the end of the day, I don’t recruit stars, if that makes sense,” he said. “I recruit, or try to recruit, good players. He’s a kid that was under-recruited, has great film, was fast … had track times. He ran the ball hard; ran through people. He showed he could catch the ball.
“At the end of the day, just who he is as a person [too]. Talk about a kid who has a strong mind, is confident in himself. He’s not afraid of competition. He’s a kid you know is going to have success in the long run and wants to be great. You have to have kids who want to be great.”
