_ RB is always an area of tremendous need. The two players you mentioned are small and one has not proven he is a D1 RB yet. If Streeter cannot make it back fully, we will have a lot of playing time to offer. Conner looks like he will not be the guy, but we could use another playmaker back there. _

From the cajunredzone we have one running back coming in for a visit next weekend, Effrem Reed. Am I missing any others?

_ I sure think we could use a kick returner. _

and a kicker that can put the ball in the end zone or close to the end zone (at least inside the 20) on a consistant basis.

LOL...
Thats nearly a 30 yard difference in one sentence... In the endzone to inside the 20?

Effrem Reed and Joe Price are options. Joe Price will likely be moved around but could play RB if needed. They can both be redshirted if necessary and they have the rep as being playmakers. We need that more than anything.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if our opponents starting field position from kickoffs was between the 40 and 50. So you could add 10 more yards and we would still have an improvement (I am expecting better tackling).

Ringo appears to be a pretty solid athlete that we've taken from Memphis. I can't find anything on Prater or Sean Thomas. They are not in the Scout.com database.

Thanks for the info, JP.
