Past and Present: Look at some of the best recruits

Running backs
1. Bryce Brown, uncommitted, Class of 2009: He's the top-rated running back of the past five years – and the only running back to be the top-ranked player in his class overall. He combines the best assets of Jonathan Stewart and Chris Wells, and is probably more of a home-run threat and better receiver than both.
2. Chris Wells, Ohio State, Class of 2006: Wells was a major reason the Buckeyes played for the national title in 2007. He has declared for this year's draft and is a sure first-rounder.
3. Joe McKnight, USC, Class of 2007: Tabbed by many as "the next Reggie Bush," McKnight really hasn't lived up to the hype. He's good, but he just hasn't broken out to show he's the best back in his class.
4. Darrell Scott, Colorado, Class of 2008: He was beaten out for the Buffs' starting job by fellow true freshman Rodney Stewart, whose only other offer was from Toledo. But after Stewart got injured, Scott filled in and started looking like a special prospect.
5. Jonathan Stewart, Oregon, Class of 2005: He left Oregon a year early and was a first-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2008. He ran for 1,722 yards in '07 and scored 27 career rushing TDs for the Ducks.

Snoop on the list (should be higher than McKnight, who hasn't amounted to much and Scott, who I am unfamiliar with) and a potential Duck on the list with Brown!

Anyone who doesn't want Bryce is Looney Tunes! I really hope we can get him.

To be said to be a cross between Wells and Stewart as a runner and better receiver and home run threat than both is huge! Yes, there is a lot of crap currently surrounding him with Butler, but I would be happy to see him as a Duck, he could be the catalyst to get the Ducks over the hump both with winning a NC or PAC-10 title and Rose Bowl and with recruiting and the Ducks coach I am sure could convince him to get away from Butler.
