Hopefully we can get that monster RB from Illinois....

By the way, can you believe Gary Campbell has been coaching RB's at Oregon since 1983!!!!!!?

27 years?!?!?!?!? :o

How many RB's has he sent to the NFL in that time? Christ

His Top 10 = 9 East Coast and Stanford. Ack!! Come on East Coast Schools. We don't want to face this guy.

By his choice of Schools though it looks like he really doesn't want to change time zones.

I don't think Oregon really need a big-time RB this class, but they'll probably end up with one just because of Kelly's appeal.

After seeing what Toby did at Stanford + their academics should make it a very attractive spot for a big RB.

Forgot about him...anybody know his status? I though I heard he would give Oregon a visit, because of the Dunge's, from seeing Bount perform here...but I might be making this up.

"I know a lot of big 6-9 people who are soft ... can't just look at size. Colleges that look at sizes or look at me and don't want me at running back because of my size ... I'm not going to be mad, but it's going to be their loss. I'm not trying to sound cocky or nothing like that."

Here's your quote:

CLA: Do you have any visits scheduled right now?

James Wilder Jr.: This summer USC, Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami, Oregon for sure, and lots more.

CLA: Who would you compare your playing style to most in either college or the NFL?

James Wilder Jr.: Adrian Peterson or LeGarrette Blount.

Wouldn't mind a big back like that in Oregon's offense. Blount proved that it could be done so I don't see why Wilder couldn't. He played with Eric Dungy so maybe that helps in his recruitment.

I would personally love to have Wilder as a RB. If anyone has seen his film, the dude is a beast.

Oh without a doubt. He may not be the most polished RB in the country but with our offense oppening gaping holes & coach Campbell working with him, he'd be running wild in no time. If he really wants to play RB in college he'd be smart to come here, where he'd actually have a chance to be a successful RB & not just be moved to OLB.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the coaches are recruiting him specifically for RB. We need a big bruiser & he'd fit that role perfectly.

He has the perfect size for a LB but could easily fit at RB given enough time and development.

Wouldn't surprise me. Kelly seems to love his offensive players, and this guy seems pretty adamant on wanting to just play RB. Would be a pretty smart move on the coaches part selling it to him that they only really want him at RB. And if he thinks his running style is similar to Blount, by all means Mr. Wilder, come on over to Oregon ;)
