Fitz Toussaint qualifies....
According to Sam Webb on WTKA this morning, Fitz has qualified. I know everyone is interested in hearing about Turner and Gallon, but this is still good news for UM football.

I think Turner and Gallon
I think Turner and Gallon might have a more immediate impact, but I think Toussaint will be a very good running back in a couple years. This is good news.
Good for him, it sounds like
Good for him, it sounds like he has been working really hard to get everything in order. Hopefully this is a preview of a strong future for him.

I hear ya. Best name I've heard at the running back position....
I recall this kid who played for Tom Osbourn's Nebraska Cornhuskers name I.M.Hipp. This kid had the swagger,shiftiness along with the temperment allowing him to claim his name as a blessing,and not some curse that he had to live up too.
Maize & Blue...nothing better!

I'm willing to bet that over half of your 53 points have come from talking TO me or ABOUT me. It's kind of creepy.
Very good news. I'm
Very good news. I'm expecting him to make an impact this year.

Where did you get that sweet Jesus piece?

I thought my
Jesus piece was so harmless.
Coolness!
I remember I was pretty excited when Fitz first commited, he was receiving buzz similar to what Gallon and Smith (Vincent) have been receiving. He looked very impressive in his videos, it was hard to tell if he was that good or the opponents were not. He's a pretty stocky guy so he might get a shot this year; he's like 5'10" 190ish. It's great that he made the cut :)

Also stated in the recruiting
Also stated in the recruiting roundup was that Devin Gardner was a better reciever than Ricardo Miller at the camp...
Devin Gardner must be a monster of an athlete. I mean I knew he was athletic, but it was surprising to hear that he was doing better at WR then Ricardo. Sam said that no one could stop him. Not even Dior or Mylan.
I thought this was funny
a quote from Brian's entry today,
"Sometimes I watch a player and I see another level of speed. That is what I saw the first time I took a look at Toussaint. … He ran a 10.7-second 100-meter time as a freshman. Last year he ran a 10.59 100-meter and clocked a 21.79 200-meter time. That is an entirely different level of speed."
Is 10.7 and 10.59 truly that different? 0.11 seconds, that's like START! STOP!. Or perhaps shorter, depending on how good you read, but I find it difficult to see this as impulse power versus warp factor One.

I tend to agree, but remember
I tend to agree, but remember this. When you're charging down the field with a defender the same speed as you right on your heels, you only have to be one trillionth faster than you are right then for a short gain to become a touchdown.
Sooner or later, you're going to have to stick your arm up a cow's butt.
When he said "This is an
When he said "This is an entirely different level of speed" he wasn't comparing Fitz's 10.59 to his 10.7. He was comparing Fitz's speed to other running backs. As in, "since FT ran a 10.7 as a freshman and now has run a 10.59, he is on an entirely different level of speed than other running backs."
However, in the 100m, .11 is fairly significant. A lot of times that's the difference between first and last place.
