So I just got back from the LHSAA coaching clinic at LSU's practice facility. Talked to Les and coach Stud. Kegs and bud girls were formally in place. Had a great time. I got to see all the players max lifts for the summer, super cool.

There was a locker in the back, near all the blue-chip freshman. It was #42 with a piece of tape over the name. It read Hershel Walker (yes, I know it was misspelled). Now I know a freshman couldn't give himself any nickname, especially that one. This freshman benched 425, squatted over 500 and runs a 4.4 and was listed as weighing 210+.

What an incredible compliment. I watched him in person run for 300+ in the playoffs (in crazy cold temperatures too). I can't wait to see Ford in action again.

Are those Fords' stats on the bench and squat or Herchels when he was a frosh?

assuming he stays healthy, Ford will go down as one of the best RB's to ever wear purple and gold imho.

Here's pic of him from last year. It's crazy how much he resembles Herschel.

People should not sleep on Michael Ford.

He's a better every down back than any back on our recruiting board right now. MF is going to be a big time producer at LSU. He's a grinder with juke and speed.
