Second RB in this class?
Anyone have a good guess for a second RB in this class? Or a fullback?

Does not seem to be a big priority for the staff this year, and it will be hard to bring in another RB this year to sit behind Pittman, Haw, CWells... plus we'd probably choose a speed back to complement Chris, so he'd likely be sitting behind Maurice as well.
Spiller is the only option I'd go after, assuming Asher Allen is not a legit possibility.

I don't think we take another RB this year.....next year when Wells arrives we will have Haw, Pittman and Mo Wells already in the fold.....

RB also looks particularly strong next year, with Herron, Torrence, Mabin, Eugene Clifford, Hosea Simpson, and Stephens from Texas. Plus J'Keem Waters at FB. Now, these guys aren't OSU locks or locks to stay on offense, but there is enough depth in the Class of 2007 to pass on another this year, in my opinion.

I wait till 07 and take Dan Herron and Bradley Stephens as RB's and maybe consider Jordan Mabin as a possible Greyshirt and then dont take one in 08. Also take Jkeem Waters as a FB and Devon Torrence will play DB.

Assuming none of the walk-on FBs (Franzinger, Fender, Daniels) step it up, we'll be down to one FB (Johnson) when Schnittker graduates. FB is not only an "option" for this year, but nearly a "must-get". At RB, we have Pittman and Haw for at least two more years (three, if neither lights it up so well that they leave early for the NFL), along with Maurice Wells for at least three, to go along with the incoming Chris Wells. I see no need at all this year to take a second RB, unless LeSean McCoy decides to come a-knockin'.
So far, according to our database, we have five FBs (where FB is their primary position) on our radar:
Jimmie Bowersock (OH)
Anthony Davis (MD)
Chane Moline (CA)
Aram Olson (SC)
Scott Weber (OH)
We've yet to offer any FB this class. Moline, one of the top FBs in the country, had us on his early list but we've since dropped off due to lack of an offer...if we were to offer, I think we'd be back in the hunt for him. However, the 2005 season has yet to start, so we have no idea who could emerge as a FB worthy of an offer.

I think we pass on getting another running back just based on depth,but I think Delone Carter is going to be a star for somebody his clips are very impressive.
