Yes and they wouldn't accept his commit when he tried to commit. He didn't get an actual offer until JLS took over and Jamel James decommitted.

He's a good RB but his injury history was a major concern to this staff. If it was up to me, I would still take him however because we have the room. The staff seems happy to fall back on Denzell Evans, Lorenzo Woodley or Daryl Chestnut though if we miss out.

Obviously its not just us that has concerns on Blanchard. Tennessee, Auburn, Mississippi St, Vandy and Ole Miss all need RB's and all passed on even bringing him in for a visit.
