Sophomore skill positions impressive
The sophomore classes at running back, wide receiver and quarterback are outstanding.

KIPER -- Bush is a tremendous player who currently ranks second on my Heisman Trophy watch list. He goes 5-11, 202, and has great outside speed, and what draws comparisons to Faulk is Bush's ability to catch the ball out of the backfield or lined up in the slot as a wide receiver. And he is not just catching screens or swing passes but making the tough catch down the field. Bush's explosiveness no matter how he gets his hands on the ball is very impressive.
Bush leads a sophomore class that features several backs who could make an impact on next year's draft process should they choose to come out: Bush's USC teammate LenDale White; LSU's Justin Vincent and Alley Broussard; Minnesota's Laurence Maroney; UCLA's Maurice Drew; Louisville's Michael Bush; South Carolina's Demetris Summers; and Lorenzo Booker at Florida State.
