10/30/10 - Happy Valley: Impact of Former Decommits
Many of us know, and remember, Roundtree's former commitment to Purdue because Purdue's Mustache coined the famous RR "Snake Oil Salesman" comment.
However, Mr. Michael Shaw was once a commit of a Big 10 rival: Penn St.
RR convinced Mr. Shaw (the same class as Roundtree) to give UM a look --- and he did. He looked, he liked, he wears a winged helmet.
The last two years Shaw has been behind Carlos and Minor with little opportunity to show PSU what they are missing.
Here's hoping that a healthy Shaw gets his 100 and a TD.
And on a similar note, UM former commits: Here's hoping that PSU's punter/kicker Fera shanks-the-night-away while Newsome throws a line-drive to Vinopal (welcome to the starting line-up, kid!) and lofts another to Cullen Christian (a PA native) in the 4th Qtr.

I am so jacked for this game!!

Depth Chart post indicates Vinopal is #2. Not to say he won't play or anything like that. Just an fyi.

Yeah I'm hoping Shaw is ready to go Saturday. I would love to see Fitz Toussaint (sorry if spelled wrong) get in a few carries too to get back into playing on Saturdays.

Fera kicked every kickoff into the end zone against Minny this past Saturday, and had a number of fine punts. He is a bummer de-commit. Newsome? Not so much.
October 25th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
Maybe in terms of kick offs alone, but Fera hasn't even attempted a FG yet. I'm sure he is better than our tandem of Broekibbons, but he didn't win PSU's starting job.

Gibbons was the #11 overall kicker in the country and was named to the Florida First-Team All-State lineup. I'm holding out judgement on him for a while. I still think he can be a good kicker.
October 25th, 2010 at 2:48 PM ^
He may be better than any of our kickoff guys, but I don't know if he's a better punter than Hagerup. Hagerup has gotten over his freshman jitters and is now doing great.

It's all most like playing Colorado.

But I don't recognize that big, seemingly immobile, and tall quarterback... Could it be that we used to have those? haha
October 25th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
Did he convince Taco Pants to come with him? Or was that a latter addition?
October 25th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
...Anthony Morelli. Come on, who would YOU rather have?
October 25th, 2010 at 8:01 PM ^
want those guys to be sorry about that little decision every year for four-five years.

RR comments in his presser today seemed to contradict the Vinopal starting rumors.
Not trying to mix in more new young guys during the bye week. Don't want to slow down the maturing process of some of the young guys, either
Did I miss something or am I reading too much into this. The first time through I almost read this as "no, Cams not moving and Vinopal isn't starting".
