| If this kid is half the player Patrick Willis is then there should be no question as to wether or not we should offer him. |

| New article on Rivals about Jones on front page...Says he had a visit from Chavis this past week and Dan Brooks in coing back this week to watch him practice..Goes on to say he has creating a buzz down there this spring and has been offered by Memphis, Ole Miss, and Miss. State...Also says Alabama has been looking at him hard but not offered yet..Says he has had some injuries last couple of years that might have slowed his recruitment.. |

| Anyone know why we are going after so many RBs this year? We are pretty deep as it is IMO. Are we just trying to turn them into LBs? If that's the case shouldn't we just go after outright LBs? |

We need LB's this class. Arian Foster is a SR and Hardesty has been slowed down by injuries his whole career. We will need more depth at RB. |

| True, and I guess running back by committee is the way things go these days. Scout actually has Dominique Allen listed as DE. Think he'll stay on the offensive side of the ball? We could always use more LBs. I can't wait to see Marlon Walls and Gerald Williams in action. |
