'08 MD RB Josh Haden (Boston College signee; transfer to ????)

I didn't really expect it either, but he will get more playing time at BC, stay closer to home, and make his own name. Plus, BC is great both academically and as a program. Good choice by Josh.

no doubt it was a shocker, must not have wanted to be in his big bro's shadow at UF.

I also read somewhere that he wanted to get 20-25 carries a game, something that UF could not promise.

UF couldn't promise him he'd stay at RB either...

BC?s Josh Haden, Justin Tuggle to transfer

Boston College running back Josh Haden and quarterback Justin Tuggle are transferring, according to a release issued by the school today.

?Both young men have expressed a desire to pursue their educational and football careers elsewhere,? said head coach Frank Spaziani in a statement. ?Each has contributed to our football program and we wish them well.?

The Haden transfer is particularly surprising. Haden, a true sophomore, was a highly touted recruit out of Ft. Washington, Md. His brother Joe is a standout cornerback at Florida. Though Montel Harris had surpassed him on the depth chart, Haden was still getting regular playing time. He had 58 carries for 213 yards and one TD in his short BC career.
