WR Chris Gallon signs a day late with BGSU

I had posted this in the recruiting forum (GREAT idea BTW, since my latest hiatus) and just wanted to bring it to the football forum as well since the LOI is in.
From the recruiting board:
I have subscribed to Michigan's Scout page for the last three years and I can tell you this with full confidence . . . IF Rich Rodriguez was still the coach at Michigan, there's a very good chance that Chris Gallon would be a Wolverine. He was that well thought of.
One of Florida "correspondents" was a 7-on-7 coach in Central Florida and had the opportunity to work with Chris and his Dr. P teammates, Dee Hart (US Army Nat'l POY) and Ha'Sean Clinton Dix (#1 rated safety on Rivals) both committed to Alabama.
Chris by all accounts from the Central Florida guy(s) is a legit 6-5. Probably closer to 4.6 or high 4.5 but very good hands. The question is the maturity level a la the hazing incident.
The hazing incident on the Michigan boards was described as a kid who had power family connections ($, BoE, something like that). The school handled the discipline, the parents of the kid who was stuffed in the trash can got pissed and made it a much bigger issue than what it was. However, it was big enough to give UM some "pause" it was still assumed had Dee Hart stayed committed, Chris was more than likely coming too.
Rich got fired, Dee "officially" de-committed at the US Army game and the package fell apart.
This is potentially a very good get for Coach Clawson.
