"I missed the first five games because I hyper extended my knee,"
added Eddie Lacy. "But I came on strong and finished the year with over
1, 000 yards rushing and 17 TD's in the last five games."
How is the knee feeling at the present time?
"It is back to 100%. It is doing good. It does not bother me at all. I
did not have surgery or anything. I just sat out half the season and let it
heal up on its own."
The 5' 10", 205 pound back will visit Alabama this weekend.
"That is the only visit I know I will go on for sure."
Any chance the Dutchtown (LA) native will commit this weekend?
"I do not think I am going to commit, but I am looking forward to my visit.
I will commit real late, probably on signing day."
Grades have scared a few away, but a couple more are keeping in contact.
"Ole Miss called last week. USM did too. They want me to come on a visit,
but I do not know if I am going to be able to because my mother has to work
on the rest of the weekends this month."
Does this put Ole Miss and USM at a disadvantage if Eddie were not to visit
their schools?
Coach Burns for Alabama is not worried about Lacy's grades.
"He told me he knew I had grade problems, so he said they will place me
where I can resign with them if I do not make it."
"Not really, they are still in the picture. I just do not think I will
be able to visit because of my mom's job.
