In the last 4-5 years, which Louisiana players ended up in MI and why?

Adam Kraus and the kid from Mamou are the only two I can think of right now. What happened?

Were there any others? If so, who?

Anthony Thomas is the most famous, but that was more than 4-5 years.

Adam Kraus
Didn't really like LSU too much. Was between Colorado and Michigan and he really liked UM's academics. Sucks though because he would have had two BCS Championship rings.

Is that it though? Didn't some lid from LA (not necessarily from LSU) transfer to MI recently?

Ditto for Leroy Hoard. For '09 they got DeQuinta Jones from Bastrop.

Chris Howard from Curtis was pretty good at Michigan and also was their leading rusher when they were national champs.

I thought he wanted to play TE and MI said he could but LSU wanted him as an OL. We see what MI did with him after he got there.

Kraus was another OL blunder by Sabin.

I played with Kraus in high school. He just liked Michigan too much to stay home. 2-time All-Big 10. Good guy and wish him the best in the NFL.

He was 6'6 275 in high school so I think he knew he was going to play OL even if he played TE in high school.
And Saban did recruit him pretty hard but he just wanted to go out of state.

I know you wanted last 5 years, but St. John of Plaquemine sent a tailback to Michigan around 00-01. Tim Bracken if I'm not mistaken.
