If we are going to go after a JC RB, I'd like to see us offer a bruiser type RB. We need someone big and physical. Adding another player like Blount would be awesome.

You want a JC BRUISER? Check out #40 in these videos... 6'/240/4.6 RB Debrale Smiley. He originally signed with Florida State in the class of '08. (Surprise offer on NLOI Day... He failed to qualify.) He is currently attending Itawamba Community College, located in Fulton/Tupelo, Missippi. Smiley (It's also his nickname) attended Thomas County Central HS (Thomasville, GA), where he started as a sophomore, and rushed for 1,400 yards and 20 touchdowns in being named 1st Team All-State, that season.

"A tailback in the body of a fullback, Smiley is a huge power back that is light on his feet and agile enough to play tailback in any type of offense. He can make a guy miss, or at least get him off balance to the point that he can pull away from a would be tackler, or lower his pads and bury him. Smiley runs behind his pads extremely well and rarely gives opponents a look at anything except shoulder pads, knees, and helmet - Scott Kennedy, Scout."

As a freshman at Itawamba, Smiley rushed for 569 yards on 102 carries in nine games.

Seems like the Ducks have had a reasonable amount of success drawing talented players from this part of the country...

That is one huge kid, but I question his speed. I also wonder if he's being recruited much?

Hard to tell how hard any body is recruiting him... FSU is really pushing to retain his 2008 commit.
