O.J.Anderson, as he used to be called during his UM days, had his greatest years with the St. Louis Cardinals, his first pro team.

It was. O.J. Burst onto the scene. Nobody knew about him but the pro scouts. He played for the St. Louis Cards, not Arizona.

He gets through the hole faster and more forcefully than a Taliban rapist. Would be a good pickup.
Well something is wrong somewhere cause here is a story from NJ.com that said he is making his choice August 12 after his UM visit on AUg 11th.

Rutgers recruiting: Top N.J. RB, Jonathan Hilliman, high on RU after visit; to decide the week of August 12
updated July 26, 2013 at 6:36 PM
Jonathan Hilliman would add to the Rutgers offense something they haven't had for a long while, now: A big, bruising running back who does his best work inside the tackle box. The 6-1, 235-pound St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) standout took a visit to Rutgers campus, Friday, with his mother and father, and left with a better idea of what the Scarlet Knights have in store for him... if he were to choose to go there.
The Jersey City school representative holds upwards of 30 offers, but Rutgers' most serious competition appears generated by the Ohio State Buckeyes. But with the Big Ten's top dog in position to land a number of their top targets, teams in competition for some of these prospects' services are sitting right where they need to be.
"I only had one day at Rutgers and a whole weekend at Ohio State. And I might have seen more at Ohio State because I was there longer. But I got just as much, if not more information at Rutgers than I did that whole weekend," he said.
According to Hilliman, that information included an academic presentation, information on the quality of the training staff and interaction with the coaching staff. But one glaring question the Hillimans had pertained to the depth at the running back position.
"I know they have two guys committee already from my class," he said. "But the depth after Savon (Huggins) leaves will be up in the air, pretty much, for anyone to go get it."
The three-back competition for what has been considered Rutgers' final running back spot in the class of 2014, was also addressed.
"My dad and I, we both made sure to ask that question. And they said there is no time frame for me to make a decision," said Hilliman. "They told me I'm a priority and when I'm ready to commit, that will be the time. That was pretty cool to hear."
What did Hilliman's parents think of the visit?
"They thought it was great," Hilliman said. "They got a lot of new information, as well, and they are very excited about the direction the program is going in."
Hilliman is closing in on a decision. He plans to take two additional unofficial visits, then end the recruiting process a couple weeks before the start of the 2013 high school football season.
"I'm just taking two more trips, actually," Hilliman said. "I'm going to Vanderbilt on the 2nd and Miami on August 11th.
"And I'm gonna make my final decision on the 2nd week of August, the week of the August 12th."
Two schools in Hilliman's previous top six schools have been removed from the picture: Michigan and Alabama. The Wolverines have informed Hilliman that they are no longer recruiting the running back position while the Crimson Tide, although interested, didn't seem, to him, quite interested enough.
Is Hilliman coming to Rutgers?
"It's a good possibility, after today, it's a really good possibility," he answered. "I thought about it and have been talking to a lot of guys who committed to Rutgers and a lot of guys who are thinking about it. And they are, pretty much, on the same page as me.
"It would be great to go to Rutgers and be that class to bring a national championship to New Jersey. And that's always been on my mind since my sophomore year. There is a very good possibility. That's all I can say at the moment."
Alonso (Fla.) running back, Ish Witter, who visited Tuesday, and Qadree Ollison of Canisius (Buffalo, N.Y.) who has visited on multiple occasions, are two additional running backs considering joining Rutgers' recruiting class of 2014.
Witter is slated to make his decision on August 1, while Ollison will decide the week of Sept. 9.
