Mailbag Question: Now with McGuffie gone



Well with McGuffie gone now officially what does this do to the team along with recruiting for running backs?

Will the media and haters make this out to be another player Coach Rod lost?

Thanks for the question.

Anybody who tries to turn Sam McGuffie's leaving into anything other than a player doing what is genuinely best for himself and his family is either incompetent or trying to start a fight.

Sam has made a decision on what is best for his situation. We completely respect that! We wish Sam nothing but the best, hope he quickly gets healthy, and, are confident he'll have an excellent career, no matter where he ends up playing college football.

How this affects Michigan? In our opinion, very little. Running back is probably the deepest position on the roster with three very good ones returning and two, or possibly three, new recruits to be added to the mix.

Is it possible Michigan now tries to add another running back? Sure, if Coach Rod and staff can get one they feel can help. But we feeln our adding yet another running back is a luxury, not a necessity. As we've been saying since last spring, the team would be better served going after another defensive player to increase their depth on defense.
