Colonel, that's because there is a lot of white skill player backups who had to "walk-on" or are second thought recruits. An example would be Dan Mulrooney of BC, who has the ability to be in the mix at RB, but never will. He has already been moved to backup safety. The blacks get all the 4 and 5 star ratings and hype from CaucasianRivals.
You can see all the hate and scapegoating of white skill players by the media and DWFs as well, even big names like Sam McGuffie. McGuffie is said to "suck" by loads of the Michigan fans I see on message boards. The main reason Michigan was so bad last year was porous offensive line play and the lack of a passing threat at QB. Michigan actually won more games, last season, with McGuffie as a true freshman starting the first half of the season than Minor in the second half. To top this off, Michael Shaw ran for 5.1 YPC compared to Guff's 4.1, but Shaw would have had an identical 4.1 YPC without his one long 48 yard run. Shaw didn't really run the ball enough to get an accurate comparison. Michigan had all their best offensive players graduate the previous season and McGuffie was thrown to the wolves from the first game. But by the season's end (Guff only started the first 6 games) McGuffie was a 4.7 YPC guy other than his two games that he was below 3 YPC- the 1st Utah game and the 4th Wisconsin game
And what about the fact that (fawned over Rivals RB recruits) like Darrell Scott (Rivals' #1 RB) and Josh Haden (Rivals' #3 AP-RB, who shouldn't be ahead of Mulrooney on the depth chart btw) played worse than Sam last season in better offenses to work with? What about Marlon Lucky, getting a shot to make the NFL this summer, when he had an identical YPC to Guff in a much better Nebraska offense last year as a SENIOR? Not to mention lots of guys like this, that are fawned over, aren't the receiver McGuffie is- and NONE have the all around freakish athletic measurements. But these guys are prospects and McGuffie is not?..Right, I get it.
