I don't think he's been brought up on the board yet but I've read that he's down to Cal, UW & the Ducks. He's currently committed to UW but is looking around now & taking visits. He suffered an ACL injury last year & committed to UW but now he's starting to get interest from some real teams so he's having second thoughts obviously.

He's the #26 player in the country so he'd be an awesome pick up this early in the game. And it would be great to steal yet ANOTHER recruit from Udumb.

He could be good, but RB is really the least our concerns. I guess it would be nice to steal another UW recruit though.

Yeah, it's hard to get excited about a RB recruit right now considering the talent we currently have at that position. However, we are looking to add a bigger back for this class. Bigelow doesn't quite fit that description, but he's certainly talented and like you said, stealing any recruit from Washington is sweet.

I would be very happy to get a quality RB this class. I know it seems like we have depth to spare but things happen. Someone could not make the grades, not be happy with playing time, go pro, or get really badly hurt. I say the more good backs the better. Plus, sticking it to the Fuskies is the best feeling ever!

If we take a RB in this class, I'm hoping for one over 240lbs.

Not sure that is possible! But yeah, it would be nice to get a banger in there. Savon Huggins would be my top choice. Love his running style. I assume Bigelow is a shifty speedy back in the vein of LMJ, Barner, and Lache? Dont know anything about this guy though....

That's a blount way to put it.

What about that kid from Colorado? Adonis Ameen Moore... If I remember right I thought I heard this kid was heavier than 215

Have you watched his tape? This should change your mind.

While having a bigger back to give the opposing D different looks would be nice, I think the need for one is totally overblown. Speed and playmaking ability kill in our offense. I'll take a roster full of guys like this any day...and taking another UW recruit would be icing.

[karlhungis]

Can he play WR?

[The411]

If he's healthy he's the top back in 2011 class.

[duckgrad99]

You never turn down a top player, but realistically he probably would have at least 5 or 6 players ahead of him on the depth chart. Honestly, I would rather get a top wr or dt in this class.

I'm all for having big time talent, but Oregon's RB is one position that just isn't attractive for recruits. I just have a hard time believing we will land anyone big for this class, so getting excited about Bigelow is hard for me. Also, supposedly he's in love with Cal right now, but we'll see. If we can snag him, that'd be awesome.

There's enough young players in the system that the coaches can afford to maybe skip a year in taking an RB. If they take anyone, it will be one that either is a big back or one in the mold of James or Barner who maybe needs a RS year to acclimate to college. But it also wouldn't be a shock to see some 4* player commit.

[PDXShogun]

I agree that our depth chart is young and looks outstanding on paper which may deter some of the higher rated guys.

LMJ is draft-eligable after this season and Seastrunk and Williams haven't proven anything yet. It appears that the coaching staff is still looking to take at least 1 back in this class. I'm going to hold out hope that they can convince one of the good ones that opportunity still exists on our roster.
