Ridley leaves early and is only a 4th rd pick? That's a strong sell to a recruit?

Ridley was a 3rd round pick, #73 overall which is a high 3rd rounder. But no you are not running down LSU.

But outside of Ridley lsu hasnt had many RBs in the nfl much less successful ones

But Ridley has been more successful to date than any of the Alabama RB's that was kinda the point. Adadi ( i know, i know a Saban recruit) had a nice run and was a 1st rounder that did play for Miles as well. I think Williams is still kicking around and Ware and Ford are rookies. We'll see where Hill goes, obviously his off field stuff will hurt his stock, but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes higher than Lacy did.

At the end of the day, we are only talking about 3 guys with Bama. Where they were drafted is a great selling point, but 1 is a bust, 1 was just traded and had a somewhat disappointing rookie year relative to where he was pick and they other is a rookie that got hurt, so too early to tell.

What planet are lsu fans on?

the planet where they root for LSU so they surprisingly look for reasons to promote LSU, even if it is biased. I mean if you are Alabama you point to where your guys where drafted. If you are LSU, you point to the fact your guy Ridley has done well. What's the problem with that?
