Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 694734, member: 2766"] I think we are perfectly fine at RB. Morris and McFarland being rFR definitely helps, but we still need to bring in 2 this year, and will eventually. Ish Witter is in the bag, mark it down right now. He will be 1, and then hopefully Ollison. I think he is more of a crap shoot, but I think we are in good position. I really want him to be the other RB, but if not that's really not a position we should have trouble getting someone. There are a few like Boyd who are plan B's. As for Phillips I know the staff really wanted him, and pushed for a commitment when he visited. I think he is getting some bad guidance from reading the article about him in the Register. I am with you with the OL concern. We have missed out on a lot of our top options. Applefield isn't going to happen, and Mavety will be tough. I also don't feel going the JC route is the answer this year. Look at the make up of our roster. We will have 3 sophmore starters, 1 JR, and 1 SR. We can't bring in another JC and have no OL underclassmen other then our 2 projects Burton and McGolster. Knapp and Emerich are viable options, but we need more then 2. I definitely think we need to bring in at least 2 HS tackles to hopefully go along with Aaron Roberts. The 1 spot I feel we are dangerously thin at is DE. The cupboard is pretty bare though. I am hoping Ron Thompson has a breakout year, but nobody knows how that will work out. I do have a good feeling, but it's still a lot of hope. I would like to see them target a couple DE's later this fall, even if we have to go the JC route for an impact recruit at that position. I think the staff has done a great job at targeting the positions they felt they needed to the most. We brought in 4 strong LBer prospects and are looking pretty good with Sykes, who could be the best of the bunch. KJ, and Cooper are a great start to the WRT position, and the defensive backfield looks like it will sort itself out as well. [/QUOTE]
