The Wisconsin running backs were probably all good beforehand. He's bringing in some great talent, like Jay Ducker.

I liked Forsett from the first time I saw him in the NFL. He was obviously good. Maybe he wasn't big enough for an everydown back but he certainly had the talent from day 1.

I hope you're right about the talent he's bringing in. The consensus on this board seems to be optimistic in that regard. We've been missing the great RBs we used to have.

Yeah, we haven't had the talent at RB. I really liked Jordan Huff, I'm sad and shocked he never hung on in the NFL. He was worth a shot in the AAF or XFL.

I agree. We'd have to go back to Chad Spann, and maybe Wolfe, to see his kind of talent at running the ball. He reminded me a bit of Thomas Rawls at CMU, whom we couldn't stop when we played them. Speaking of which, do you have any thoughts on why he didn't play more at NIU?

Huff was behind Bouganon, who had somewhat of a pro career. Huff was explosive everytime he had the ball in his hands. I remember he wasn't 100% healthy his senior year

I guess I wondered why he was behind Bouagnon certainly Huff was easily the better runner.
