'08 TX ATH Sam McGuffie (Michigan Signee, Transfer to Rice)

[Moose]

I would say that's another "Violent hit", on the mich*gan program! (The Spitler to McGuffie meeting) Mich*gans Imploding continues......
Seriously. It will give Sam some time to heal.....

I admire his toughness and heart he has displayed this season eventhough he DOES play for the state up north as a true freshman. Just try to put yourself in his place...playing behind that swiss cheese of line, that D-1AA worthy of a quarterback, and for that weasel of a coach, he was in a REALLY bad situation all and all. The kind of pounding he took is unreal! I actually felt real bad for the kid when he got "obliterated" in THE Game.

At any rate, I just wish that everyone can cut this kid some slack.




osu.edu ROCKS!!!

If I recall correctly, we didn't offer him because we made a promise to Devoe Torrence from Massolin that if he committed he would be the only RB we would take in his class. It was too late after Torrence lost his offer due to off the field problems. Regardless, Sam is a great player and will contribute where ever he goes.

This is not the reason Sam did not get an offer. Regardless, hopefully he gets well and contributes somewhere.

While I want to say that perhaps he's living in fear of another hit from Spitler, I hate to see Michigan's program continue to crumble.

the one player with any seeming toughness and one who fit the best into Dick Rod's system has transferred....

Awesome

yes I'm joking (mostly)

McGuffie didn't hold a candle to Minor.

Shaw is actually the chosen one. The staff loves him.

the chosen one changes daily. I went through a thread that went from talking about how great newsome was, to talking about how great newsome and beaver were, to talking about how great it's going to be when newsome, beaver, and forcier are all there challenging each other, to talking about how scared newsome is, to how forcier is the best of the three.

want to take a guess at when each committed/decommitted?

Sam has enrolled at Rice.

Saw the waterboy on tv for the first time in a long time over the weekend; I have to say, it was kind of nice seeing McGuffie (the towel boy), in his bit role, in Maize and Blue one last time.
