can one of you subscribers tell us who made Lattimore's list of eight?

---

Alabama: "They run the football. I like coach [Burton] Burns. He and my offensive coordinator are good friends. He has told me how good of a person and coach he is. Nick Saban says enough."

Auburn: "The fans really are the main reason I like Auburn. All the traditions they have there is great. They stress family. I come from a similar offense, and it would be an easy transition."

Clemson: "It's right here, not too far away. I like the coaches. I like their running game. Some of my teammates are up there now. It would be good to play with them again."

Florida State: "Coach Carter is my man. He is my favorite coach. I have a really good relationship with him and coach Fisher. I like what coach Fisher did at LSU. I like the coaching staff really. I like the offense they run. It's appealing to me."

Maryland: "I talk to the offensive coordinator [James Franklin] and running backs coach [John Donovon]. I also talk to the head coach [Ralph Friedgen and coach [Al] Seamonson. They run a Pro-style offense, and they need backs. That’s one thing that appeals to me about them. They have a lot of big alums."

North Carolina: "I like coach Butch Davis, coach Blake and the running backs coach [Ken Browning]. Coach Davis has had the most first rounders out of all the coaches I named. They run a Pro-style offense, not that far from home. It would be good to say you started the running back thing at UNC."

Penn State: "I haven't visited, but I know they run the football. I have heard about the fans. I was talking to Khairi Fortt. He talked about the fans and tradition. They have Joe Paterno. It would be great to play for him."

South Carolina: "I like coach Graham. I am anxious to see how their running game is going to look this year. They were one of my favorites at one time. I still like them, but want to see how they do this year. They have a lot of tradition."
