[Realist]

I feel like im watching michael smith

[IronHog]

A Little fred talleyish, a little reggie bushish.

Be nice to have a guy like that with a bigger back for a 1-2 punch.

[hawgwild1087]

Man he has no trouble finding the holes.  Really shifty runner.

IronHog I agree, we should pair him with a bigger back.  Thomas and someone like R Watson or Shuler would be great.

[VenturaHog]

I love this highlight reel, his cutting ability and uncanny balance make me think of barry sanders. I know there will never be another B sanders but this kid is hard to hit.

[IcEwalker]

no offense to these guys, be #1 priority needs to be DeAnthony Curtis, then Sam McGuffie, the the likes of these guys (including Dennis Johnson)

100% Agree.  Curtis and McGuffie are the must gets.  But I like the way this kid runs too and would have no problem welcoming him aboard.

That's what I love about the RB's we're recruiting this year. Thomas has major offers from Southern Cal, Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, Notre Dame, Rutgers, West Virginia etc.etc. and I've seen people here consider him our 3rd, 4th or even 5th option.  This is going to shake out to be a unreal RB class IMO.

That is what I was thinking any other year Dennis Johnson would be Cedric Houston & De Angelo Curtis would be Cedric Cobbs.  However this shakes out with the Oklahoma & Florida RB's showing very serious interest I hope we secure the signature of the instate talent above all because they are just as good as any out their.

The interest some some of the top backs in the nation all goes back to having a Heisman candidate playing for you. All these guys see themselves as the next Darren McFadden.

Watching Sam McGuffie, I would have a hard time arguing that he wasn't the next Darren McFadden.  His burst once he breaks the initial contact is tremendous.
