re: Leonard Fournette visiting alabama this weekend?

While I hope that LF signs with us, it's not absolutely necessary. Remember Jacob Hester? He was a two star recruit and look what he did at LSU. Small fullback, but big heart!

Of course it's not absolutely necessary but you're comparing a back who everybody was shocked to see go over 1000 his senior year to a back that has the potential and is expected to go over 1000 his freshman year. I know he definitely exceeded expectations, but we need a top notch starter when there is a major possibility that all our backs sans Magee leave this year. Hopefully we are ok with the backs we bring in if we don't get Fournette, but we are almost guaranteed success if this guy is on the roster. It's akin to how Bama fans expected of Yeldon before he stepped on the field.

I'm not like others so I don't see the greatness in the Sione kid. And if we can't lock down Fournette then I don't see our run game being as dominant like in years past. I like Williams though he has that power Les loves in his RB and kinda has that wiggle like Ridley. My take is if we don't get Fournette(chances are very low) than I still believe we could land another top RB like fap worthy Racean Thomas.
