Jim Stefani by Contributor Written on April 03, 2009

Here are some top running backs who have no reported early offers.  Some may have academic issues.  Others may have offers that have not yet been reported.  And some simply have yet to be discovered by college coaches.  Colleges should really take a close look at some of these fine prospects.
