Michigan and Cincinnati are up there, but who cares if you finish second??

Had UC in his top two, but recently received a Rutgers offer and may verbal to them within a week.

Saw that as well. Rutgers already picked up Charles Davis at RB and Chevelle Buie who is a slot/RB hybrid type of player. They're also going hard after Savon Huggins and Jameel Poteat. That's on top of taking 4 RBs in last year's class. I'm not sure what the draw is with Rutgers. We need two RBs in this class IMO. I wouldn't mind picking up two out of David Abernathy out of GA who is a smaller, quick type RB as well as either Antwan Gilbert or D'Angelo Roberts. Of course if Poteat wants to come here I'll do cartwheels.

Everyone wants to be the next Ray Rice. Problem is, they ain't it.
Rutgers is doing a decent job in recruiting, but I don't see it as sustainable. UC's recruiting will only improve. Not sure how/why a solid RB wouldn't take a flier on Cincy, and Poteat would be huge. |

For top running backs, it's huge to see guys in front of them go pro. I know you didn't mean it like this, but recruits are doing more than "taking a flier" on the school they attend. It's obviously a big life decision. If we can get Pead to the pros, I think it will help us. If he gets some playing time and produces, it could do wonders.
That being said, hopefully we can find a top guy or two that trusts Butch will get them there. |

I think recruits also want to a program that carries the rock a little more. Last year Pead average only 9 carries a game. I am certain that with Jones at the helm that number will increase dramatically, while still running the spread we are used to. That will help recruit the better backs out there IMO.

I'm hoping we can land Crockett. At this point we need RBs period and he looks like he'd be a good get. Very impressive physique he has (no homo) and runs out of the spread.

At the rate UC is going recruiting a RB, they'll be left with Davey Crockett.
I was pretty impressed watching his tape on youtube. Glad to hear he is high on UC, although frankly I am getting tired of hearing that kids are high on us, have us in the top 3 only to commit elsewhere. |
