He would be a nice place to start.
Or D.J. Foster.

Shell has the potential to be an excellent RB, but it will be tough to get him to come all the way across the country.

D.J. Foster is a very realistic target and one of my favorite offensive recruits in this class. I wouldn't even categorize him as a RB - the kid is an athlete. He is going to be an impact player on offense, whether it's at WR, RB, tazer, etc. Imo, it will come down to USC and Oregon. The coaching staff apparently loves Foster and have made him a priority.

I would like to get Byron Marshall and D J Foster for sure. I think they plan on playing Foster at Tazer or WR though. Russell Shell would be a nice get but I am not sure if he has an offer for sure, as Rivals does not list one.

K Russell from Washington as a back-up plan.

I really hope we can get Rushel Shell. He just reminds me of Stewart, the way that he's big, but has REALLY good speed, and can cary the rock wherever you want, and is just a great athlete.

Foster is an offenseive Weapon, and is more of that Tazer spot with his build than a true RB. He needs to add some weight though IMO.

I heard that Shell might be favoring Pittsburgh, but who knows. I think we have a very good shot at Byron Marshall and DJ Foster though.

There doesn't seem to be but it's fairly early so a JC guy could still pop up.

Marshall really likes Cal and USC. Don't think he ends up here.

We have a great chance to get Byron marshall, but of course the depth chart will be an issue. I believe LMJ will be gone but Kenjon Barner I think will stay. So if PT right away is his thing I can see him choosing USC or Cal. This is guy is quite a RB! he is not afraid to go between the tackles yet is elusive. THx for the vid! 8-)
