"My plan is still to commit on my visit at Oregon," he said. "I'm leaving on Friday and I'm just so excited to get up there and make this happen."

Great news.

Good PU... We needed a good big back. I think he broke some of laMike's rushing records.

Very cool he looks fantastic and will fit in very well with our group of RBs!

I'm not being a smart ass but why is this guy such a great pick up? All I have is that highlight real above. I guess I'm wondering if this guy is worth filling a spot for considering we have needs in other areas. We're already pretty stacked at RB.

Not quite sure what the snotty comment is all about. I thought it was a legit question. I suggest you stroll on over to the CBS site if you want to be a jerk.

Maybe having a friend from home will make LaMike wanna stay another year or two.

I can dream, right?

Well he is a big back which the Ducks need to compliment the small back and he is another tie in to the Texas pipeline and he broke almost all of LMJ's school and state records. Pretty sure the coaches still have room for DT's and WR's

Coach Campbell has been pretty adamant about a big back being a need in this class.

As much I wanted to get Bigelow becuase of that speed, I think Carson is a better pick up and will compliment guys like Lache and Dontae better. He's a bigger back.

Carson looks like a reliable thunder back, which we need in this class IMO. We have the smaller speed backs already and Dontae is right in the middle. Call me crazy, but the combination of Lache, Dontae, and Tra remind me of the 3 back combo the Giants had in the Superbowl!

Anyone know how to pronounce it?

Truh, Tray, Trah?

Probably Tray, like the former Philadelphia Eagle OL Tra Thomas.

LMJ was also a 3 star from Texas. It will probably be a few years before Carson plays, but it never hurts to have depth.
