Tandaian No. 1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 LaMichael James. De'Anthony Thomas. Kenjon Barner. Royce Freeman. Thomas Tyner. Byron Marshall. These are just some of the names that have made up Oregon's running back room in recent years, one that's been a model of consistency powered by dynamic duos.

SoGaDawg No. 2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Jordan James was a very nice recruiting win for Oregon. I watched him play in a televised game last season and he was awesome. I was very excited about him coming to GA, and very disappointed when he chose Oregon instead. Although, at least he didn’t turn us down for a conference rival, Ohio State, or USC Lol. You gotta good one Ducks. Well done! After all this, we did sign a kid named Andrew Paul from Texas that looks promising. Not as highly rated as James, but Paul looks pretty good. 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Moderator No. 3 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I think we have guys that will give most PAC 12 teams problems. It will be interesting to see who we land on as our feature back this year. The nice thing is that we have good depth and looks like we can easily have three backs rotating into a game if necessary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I am happy how our running back room is looking and possibly what the future will continue to be! Fresh legs with a constant rotation through out a game would be a game changer. Fresh legs also means possibly less chances of injuries. So many different ways using more than one running back on the field at the same time. Go Ducks, Fly High! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLduck No. 5 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The RB room really is stacked. Yet still a great deal unknown. All but James have some college experience too. Will there be enough touches to go around? Don't forget Seven on some end-arounds too. Once again, just one more thing to watch and learn about our Ducks this year. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Johnny Rodgers at Nebraska and Greg Pruit at Oklahoma were similar backs, fast, quick shifty, leave you grabbing at air when you thought you had them type backs. Nebraska's more pro-style offense allowed Rodgers to get lots of opportunities in open space. Pruit turned the grind it out wishbone into an explosive offense with his speed and illusiveness. They were both fun to watch. Not really seeing Oregon resurrecting the wishbone though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Ducks put in a play or two against the Fuskies with McGee, Cardwell and Jones or Dollars behind Nix. DL can shake his fist at the UW sideline and yell "Don't you just WISH you had this BONE!" 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfDuck No. 14 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have to say, I absolutely love the potential of this room now and for years to come. Byron Cardwell (former 4 star) is a star in the making. Sean Dollars (former 4 star) has speeeed to burn. Mar'Keise Irving (former 4 star) already put up 699 yards last year in the B1G. Jordan James (4 star) is a coveted recruiting win for the Ducks. Noah Whittington (former 3 star) turned heads during the Spring Game and is reportedly a workhorse. Dante Dowdell (4 star) is 6'1" and 210lbs?! And Richard Young (5 star) is on campus this weekend... Coach Lock has all the keys necessary to dominate the PAC on the ground. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
