From Rivals: At 6-foot-0, Furr is up to 205 pounds and hopes to increase his weight to 220 over the next year. If he can continue to increase his speed he could become one of the top prospects in the region in the Class of 2009. "I definitely want to run track in college, along with...

Sam is finally getting a little respect from Rivals: Category Rankings: Running Backs

After watching Andy Brodell in the Alamo Bowl, I can't wait to see how he does this year as a starter. At 6'3" with blazing speed, there is no reason that the NFL shouldn't give him a shot.

Rumor down here is that Sam committed to Michigan over the weekend, but is waiting for the right time to make the announcement. According to my sources, Michigan promised Sam that if he committed, they would not offer an other RB in the 2008 class. With only one RB signed for 2007 and Sam in...

From everything that I have heard, it is between Michigan and Texas A&M. Sam is visiting Michigan this weekend, so we should know more this week.

That is the whitest that I have seen at Baylor in years. It's funny that they have continually overlooked talented white players in Texas to get less talented black ones, yet they have been terrible since the mid 1980's.

Great pics of JP, Jimmy.

It is interesting to look at the career of Shawn Crawford in relation to this discussion of PEDs. Crawford best time in high school for the 200m was 21.57 (a full second behind Wariner's best high school time). He has a good college career, but never was close to sub 20 sec. Then in 2003-2004...

Here is the SPARQ ratings from the Nike Combine showing Osborne's stats. He had the only sub 4.4 40 and sub 4.2 shuttle. Impressive. Houston Nike Combine SPARQ Ratings

The Rivals folks are so brainwashed it's unbelievable. I found an article on gatorbait.net(paid site for U of Florida) where the gatorbait editor interviewed the Rivals staff members that attended the Colorado Nike camp. Here are some quotes: "Sam McGuffie was about what we expected," "I...

Sam just attended the Nike Camp in Colorado and was named the MVP among running backs. In the article on Rivals, it doesn't state anything about skill testing or 40 times. At least Scout.com gives Sam some respect, naming him to the Top100 list at #42. Scout Top 100

He looks like a boy running against the men and beating them. Think how good he will be in a couple of years, with more training and growing.

You are kidding, right?? She is from North Dakota. There are almost no blacks in North Dakota.

Not boring at all. Great job of identifying these young track athletes.

Can we get back to talking about Brian Leonard, since that is the title of this thread?

At least Andy Brodell made the list.

Joe Haden is listed as a QB. Joshua Haden is the only RB with a higher SPARQ rating than Sam. Rivals even mentions Joshua Haden as a "near missed Top 100" despite gaining less than 1000 yds last year. Near Misses Top 100Edited by: SteveB

Rivals even short changes McGuffie on his measureables. According to Rivals.com, Sam's measureables are 4.4 sec 40 yd dash and 40 inch vertical, yet at the Nike camp after his sophomore year, he ran a 4.32 40 and had a 41.8 inch vertical. His SPARQ rating was second in the country among RBs...

Sam gets snubbed by Rivals. Despite breaking the single season Houston area rushing record, concensus All State 5A selection, and offers from dozens of D1 powerhouse schools, Sam doesn't make the Rivals Top 100 prospects for 2008. Yet number 10 on the list is a black RB from Texas (Jermie...

According to Scout.com, Sam has a one star rating and only has offers from Troy and Arkansas State. What a crock!

I was watching the Big 12 Track Championships on TV today and saw Myer finish 4th in the 100m with a 10.36. He was leading the race until the last 10 meters and lost by about 2 feet. He also ran a 20.82 in the 200m just missing the finals. Both times are regional qualifying times. Way to go...

I was listening to the local Houston sports radio station this morning and they interviewed Gary Kubiak, the Texans head coach. He was very high on Kevin Walter and said that he deserved to be the number 2 WR on the team. He also said that David Anderson will have a legitimate shot at the...

DiLuigi is Italian, although he may have some American Indian blood in him. Watch this video on youtube: J.J. DiLuigi in CA State Championship

Sam won second in the long jump at the state HS track meet with a 23-10.75 jump. Pretty incredible since he has spent all Spring dealing with recruiting as one of the top RB in the country.

Here are some notable performances from white athletes at the Texas HS State Meet: 5A 1. Grant Lindsey wins the high jump with a 6-11 jump. 2. Sam McGuffie wins second in the long jump with a 23-10.75 jump. Pretty incredible since he has spent all Spring on the recruiting trail as one of...
