Tennessee: "I like the facilities and the people. I like how the team is rebuilding."
South Carolina: "The same. The facilities and the conference and how they dominate using the tailback a lot."
Wisconsin: "They have a great running back tradition."
"I'm not sure yet," he said of a possible decision date. "I'm just going to go wherever I'm most comfortable."
You don't consider Williams a big time back?
Of course I do. My previous statement was made because when you look at the list of top 40-50 RB's for this years class, well over 60% have already picked their school. It was the same thing last year. The top backs seemed to not be listening to what our coaches were selling. I figured getting CJG would help in a big way. I know Henry and Kamara are still out there, but it seems they are leaning toward Bama/UGA for now. Maybe one of them fill up and we can get lucky and another player fall to us(Lane).

Jay Graham has many good backs giving us a look. But let's be honest: we're coming off of a year in which we were the doormat of the SEC, and we've sucked running the ball recently. High school backs have every right to be skeptical at this point.
We need to win games, and we also need to show these kids that we can run the ball effectively - talk only goes so far. If either Lane or Neal blows up into a legit high-level feature back this year, then I think more of the elite RB recruits will look at us as an attractive destination.
