Just saw where 4* RB Dontre Wilson has tOSU and Oregon in his Top 2. Would guys rather have him or Green?

i agree BUCKSLAX. i remember reading (probably here) that meyer had problems at florida when he couldn't get his power running game going. he had a lot of those little florida scat backs (similar to dontre wilson or any number of scUM rb's under dickrod). they're versatile, but not much help running between the tackles. especially with the qb being a running threat in the spread, but not wanting to take too much of a pounding, you need power backs. many of the current backs on our roster are just that. with dunn and ball being freshman this year, it takes the pressure off meyer on grabbing a top rb like green and go for a versatile back who can be spread out, catch out of the backfield, and return punts/kickoffs if necessary. plus we already have a GREAT chance at landing wilson. it's like a one bird in the hand two in the bush kind of deal...

I like Wilson. He has speed and elusiveness. He seems like he would fit Urban's offense better.

I say Green for sure. Kid is super fastband can run with power.

I take D.Green ... He has plenty of speed, but he also has that power as well ... Hopefully he can catch out of the back field ... now if he can't catch I'd take D.Wilson ...
