Big RB prospects...
Reading between the lines, it appears CMC is working to add a 2019 power back from Michigan. Listed as an athlete, but wants to play RB at the next level.

I like Austin Jones from Holland's school.

I like his look, but he's a smaller back, like several already on the Duck roster.Phenom wrote:I like Austin Jones from Holland's school.

Yeah, we need at least one bigger back. I know people love the smaller guys but give me a big bruiser all day longwoundedknees wrote:I like his look, but he's a smaller back, like several already on the Duck roster.Phenom wrote:I like Austin Jones from Holland's school.

Jones will be around 205 by the time he's in college.

Re: Big RB prospects...
I’m not sure what everyone think of as a “bigger back” but I think Oregon should shoot for a Wisconsin-esque* back year over year; a 205-220 back that can do everything

Blount can demoralize a defense in the second half.

Re: Big RB prospects...
Austin Jones is an every down type back. He's listed at 5'11" 190 now, it's very possible he'll be 200lbs+ before stepping on a college football field. Hopefully we can take another one from O'Dowd and Napoleon Kaufman.
Jaren Mangham would be a great addition and fits the bill of a bigger back, but his recruitment has already been drama filled and I never like our chances in those types of situations.
There are a lot of good 180-190lbs backs on the West Coast, but not a lot of bigger backs. A guy I really like is Jordan Wilmore. A 5'8" 200lbs from Cali who has one of the best Hudl's I've seen this year: https://www.hudl.com/profile/7787708/Jordan-Wilmore You watch the first minute and you'll see what I mean. At :25 in there's a safety blocking the end zone and he just destroys him. Unfortunately, USC is already all over him.
If you want the big 220+ guys you have to go to Texas and the Southeast. I find it baffling that we don't get a 5-star or high 4-star level RB every cycle, considering the success we've had at the position.
