The Future of Michael Shaw

At the start of the season I was nervous about our lack of experience at the skill positions, but at the same time excited to see what the new guys could do, especially because many of them were highly touted recruits. In particular I wanted to see McGuffie and Shaw because they are the kind of backs (smallish and lightning quick)that we do not often see at Michigan playing in an offense that we've never seen at Michigan. I've seen enough of McGuffie now to pass judgement and remain optimistic for the future: he's as quick and fast as we thought, has good vision that will only improve, good ball security, but needs to work on his strength in general so he can better shed tackles and pass protect. However, I do not feel I can do the same with Shaw. He's been an afterthought. We just haven't seen him play that much. (It's not good for him or Stonum that the AA News mislabeled his picture as the latter). This is of course due to injury and fumbling troubles that have buried him on the depth chart, but there is reason to believe that he will not remain there. From everything that we've heard about him he is just to talented. The few instances that he has gotten in the game his speed and quickness have been evident from his very first steps. But how much will we get to see him in the future? Certainly that depends on his own performance on and off the field, but the competition at the running back spot is only going to get tougher (which is ofcourse lovely for all the fans). We already have Minor, McGuffie, Brown, Grady, Cox (the random guy from CT who almost transfered), Mike Milano (just kidding). Next year we'll bring in three more, four if you count Gallon as an RB. So my question remains: how much will Shaw play going forward and to what degree will he maximize his enormous potential?
