The Junior All-American Combine in San Antonio has become sort of a coming out party for Cass Tech players over the past few years. Starting with Boubacar Cissoko two years ago and following that with William Campbell this past year, expectations were high for this year's highly rated Technician junior.
And he certainly delivered.
We knew one thing for sure about Dior Mathis entering this combine. He was fast. However, the question remained... how fast? How about 40 yards in 4.49 seconds fast.
And that, frankly, is an inflated time. For years, this Combine has been ran on the quicksand like turf of the Alamodome, and this year was no different.
By comparison to Mathis, one of the nation's top 2010 players, Texas' Lache Seastrunk, ran a 4.5 seconds 40 yard dash. Not only is Seastrunk one of the top football players in 2010, he is also one of the best track runners --- running a 10.64 electricly timed 100 meter dash.
Also, Mathis was impressive in one-on-one drills as well, further raising his stock. Many will cite Mathis' lack of height as a hinderance on his ability, however, his tremendous ball skills along with outstanding cover skills still make him an excellent prospect.
-----------
Mathis is rated as the 5th best player in the state of Michigan in 2010, ranked as a four-star prospect.
Look for more on Mathis in the weeks and months to come from RecruitingMichigan.

Four star quarterback Boisture to Saline...
RecruitingMichigan four-star quarterback Joe Boisture is transferring to Saline High School for the last year and half of his high school career.
Boisture previously attended Goodrich High School, playing both basketball and football. Boisture's talents on the gridiron gained him the most exposure however, and playing at Saline will certainly increase Boisture's stock.
However, Boisture's transfer to Saline is not only for football. His father is moving his business just south of Ann Arbor, aiding in the decision. Saline is a division one school in the MHSAA, and Boisture's play will certainly aid them in their future season.
Boisture has scholarship offers from Boston College, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Wisconsin currently and is rated as the 10th best player in Michigan's 2010 class.
Look for more on Boisture on RecruitingMichigan this fall!!
