Most important position for the Ducks to recruit this year

[greenyellow]

We came a long ways by nabbing Dontae Williams and Ethan Grant. Is it possible that we can land ML? I doubt it, especially with the backfield already loaded next year with LMJ, KB, EG and now DW. Obviously, LMJ, KB, and EG are all change of pace backs or TZR's. DW would be our only real carry the load back besides Alston (backup role).

Wait what? Why don't you think LMJ or Grant can't be feature backs like Jeramiah Johnson?

Johnson was never a feature back really, he may have started his senior year, but he only got 11-15 touches a game and was relieved a lot by Blount and Masoli's running for all of 2008.

Do I think that LMJ could be a feature back? Yes (Ht: 5-9 Wt: 185 40: 4.4) If he puts on 20lbs. of muscle (200-205lbs.) and retains his speed/agility and top end. He would be a Pro back if he can do that. It takes a couple of years to put on this kind of weight, so it won't be until he's a JR. or SR. for these kinds of results.

E.Grant, feature back? No. (Ht: 5-9 Wt: 170 40: 4.35) He's too little, what is he like 170lbs? Even with 20lbs. of muscle, that's only 185-190lbs. A glorified change of pace receiving back really. Much like Percy Harvin.

D.Williams, prime time back! YES!!! (Ht: 5-11 Wt: 207 40: 4.49) This kid can put on 15-20lbs and be another J.Stew type bruiser...with speed. And, he's ready to carry the load as a Frosh.

Don't get me wrong, I like all of these backs, and I am especially intrigued by LMJ due to his top end speed and ability to cut like L.Tomlinson without losing quickness.

Allan Amundson had 4.3 40 time speed and was from Florida as well, but he was so small he could never really affect the game. Ofcourse, we ran the Pro-Style offense then too...

Amundson was from San Rafael, California, not Florida.

We really need to get some good defensive prospects since it seems like our defense is that strong this year. They already got one of the best corners in the nation in Thurmond, what would be very good for us is some 4 or 5 star D-linemen. With a strong d line and Thurmond, and with Blount and Masoli on the offense healthyour team will be unstoppable and have a great chance at BCS!
