Personally, I think it is appealing for rb prospects to play in a system where several backs split carries. Less wear and tear on them and also the ability to get playing time early because we do play all the backs.
This is becoming more important in today's NFL. Many teams are going to a rb by committee. Carolina (D. Williams, J. Stewart), New Orleans (Deuce? or Thomas, Bush).

Being the main guy is not a big deal these days. If you have talent and you're in the 3-deep at running back you will get noticed at most places.
There are countless examples that support this point:
USC with numerous 5 star RBs, not to mention Reggie Bush and LenDale White before that
Auburn with Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, and Brandon Jacobs
Minnesota with Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber
Arkansas with Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis
Miami with Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, and Najeh Davenport
Cal with J.J. Arrington, Marshawn Lynch, and Justin Forsett
LSU with Joseph Addai, Domanick Davis, and LaBrandon Toefield
LSU with Kevin Faulk, Rondell Mealey, and Cecil Collins
Florida State with Lorenzo Booker, Leon Washington, and Greg Jones
Old-school example: Oklahoma State with Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders
