Update on LaMichael James: Seems like we have a great chance in getting him to commit.

LaMichael James hopes to make a decision shortly after his official visit to Oregon on Jan. 11. "Oregon is recruiting me hard too," he said. "They've been showing a lot more interest recently and I decided to check them out. I'm not concerned about the distance or anything. I like that they run the spread and they always seem to have great offensive players coming out of there..."

LaMichael James, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound three-star running back from Liberty-Eylau High School in Texarkana, Texas, finished his senior season with 2,043 yards rushing and 26 touchdowns.

Although James denies a leader, he says he now favors Nebraska (childhood favorite), TCU, Minnesota and Oregon. All of his favorites have offered.

He's already taken official visits to Texas Christian on Sept. 1, Minnesota on Sept. 22 and Nebraska on Dec. 14. James will be visiting Oregon on Jan. 11.

"I really liked my Nebraska trip a lot," he said. "The new coaches seem great and very focused. They seem honest and real. They told me that I would fit in with the offense well and that they like to pass to the running backs and that I would be able to do a lot of different things for them.

"Coach Bo Pelini will probably do great at Nebraska," he said. "He's very blunt and there's no grey area with him. He doesn't BS you or tell you things that sound good. It's surprising to hear someone that straightforward."

"I knew they'd get a good head coach and I always liked Nebraska," he said. "They are a great program and they won't stay down long. They are a team I've always followed and it seems like they have rebounded well."

Throughout the season James says that Minnesota has been the school that has been recruiting him the hardest. "They've come down to Texas a lot," he said. "Anytime they could make it they would, plus they would send me mail everyday and all the coaches got involved. By far, they recruited me more than anyone."

James, ranked as the No. 79 running back in the country by Scout.com, hopes to make a decision shortly after his official visit to Oregon on Jan. 11. "Oregon is recruiting me hard too," he said. "They've been showing a lot more interest recently and I decided to check them out. I'm not concerned about the distance or anything. I like that they run the spread and they always seem to have great offensive players coming out of there."

James reports a 2.9 core GPA and a 16 ACT, which he retook on Dec. 8.

Nebraska is now listed in his top 3 along with Okie State and Florida according to rivals.com.

Big Red Report:

Assessing the talent: Is a talented offensive guard who has great quickness for someone his size. Was named the West Virginia Player of the Year. Was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American game. Rated the #1 Offenisve guard in the country according to scout.com and is the #4 guard according to rivals.com.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 5% Josh Jenkins is a long-shot. But, with Rich Rodriguez heading to Michigan his committment to West Virginia could change. His older brother Paul Johnson is a senior lineman for Ohio and seems to have a good relationship with Carl Pelini. If we can bring him in for a official visit we may have a chance to steal him away from West Virginia.

Rivals.com now has Nebraska as LaMichael James favorite over California, Minnesota, Oregon, and TCU.
