Michigan Tuesday: Transfers - How Are They Doing?

I got the idea for this post when I thought about Mike Cox coming back to the Big House this weekend with UMass.   Mike was always considered a guy with a ton of talent but had a hard time grasping the offense.  So he will get his wish this weekend and get to play RB in the Big House.   I wish him all the luck this week and the rest of the season.

As the Wolverines have struggled at RB and WR the first few weeks and with Mike heading to the Big House this weekend, I thought I would check in on some past Wolverines playing for other schools.  

The YouTube Sensation, Sam McGuffie (Rice):  I don't follow Rice Football too closely but from his stats it seems Sam has become more of a WR then RB:  In 2010 he had 197 carries for 883 yards, in 2011 he had 38 carries for 158 yards and this year he has had 2 carries for 14 yards, 11 catches for 78 yards with 1 TD.   I didn't expect that type of production from the talented RB, I hope he is healthy. 


Darryl Stonum, WR (Baylor):  Could Michigan use this guy this year? DS has 2 catches for 41 yards and 1 TD so far this year for the Bears.   Baylor has only played 1 game so far this season.


Mike Cox, RB (UMASS):  20 attempts for 32 yards and no TD's.   Long run of 17 yards.

Je'Ron Stokes, WR (Bowling Green):  5 catches for 47 yards and 1 TD.  As an FYI, Chris Gallon is on Bowling Green and their #1 WR with 12 catches for 158 yards in 2 games. 

The Pitt Transfers:  DB Cullen Christian looks to be a starter with 2 tackles,  Ray Vinopal doesn't have any stats.   Another FYI, the former Michigan defensive coaches that brought them to Pitt are now with RR in Arizona. 


Vladimir Emilien, DB (Toledo):  No Stats available.

• The Rumor Mill is spinning that 2013 CB Gareon Conley is considering taking some visits.  If he does, he would not be considered a Michigan commitment. 

• Time to bring out Perry the ACL Elephant again for Purdue?  There are reports that QB Robert Marve has re-injured his ACL again.

• DE Beyer will also miss the UMass game with a knee injury.

• Treadwell didn't make it to Ann Arbor this weekend, he had to take the ACT.

• Michigan is a 46.5 favorite on Saturday.  State is favored by 5 points over ND.
