Just reading up on some U. of Findlay Football and noticed this new addition.

What is the word on this Kelly Baraka? In the paper today their was this follow statement:

Quote:

Kelly Baraka, a former Michigan recruit who was rated as one of the top running backs in the nation coming out of Portage Northern (Mich.) High School four years ago.

All I remember is that he was suspended before his freshman season started for drug possession, and has barely been heard from since. He was recruited the same year as David Underwood, and he was supposed to be the better back.

Baraka came in as THE man. He was supposed to be the best RB Michigan had in quite a while. He then however got caught with drugs (crack I think, maybe not) and then had grade problems and that was it. Lloyd booted him and I have no idea what happened to him.

I just figured he was dead. Character-wise probably not the best guy, but should make a good addition on the field for you guys.
