He wants to play running back and is concerned about the depth chart here.


this and TAMU is willing to let him play RB. He also fits their style in his own opinion.

Honestly, I wouldn't take him over Guice or Brousette. They are gonna be Thunder and Lightning in the backfield.

Am I the only one that thinks Josh Sweat's score is more impressive.


Clowney level freak IMO. Georgia is getting a great one.

With Ducre, who is bigger, and as fast as Merrit, we are kind of loaded. I know we want erybody, but someone has to block....

If we're losing recruits because they're afraid of our depth chart, we're doing something right..let them be and move on

They are loading up on all fronts. They may struggle some this year, but next year they could make a run with all the talent they'll have...

He ran a 4.4 at LSU camp, and has a 10.8 100 time, and he's 239 lbs...he fast! #1 rated fullback, but you can imagine LSU going let him tote the rock...

Destrehan, right?

D-town has been a big LSU pipeline for awhile. It would suck to lose on this guy. He could fit into a Russell Shepard but more successful kinda role in the offense.

Still too early to write him off IMO. We will have a bare cupboard at RB after this season even with Guice and Brossette. We always use 4-5 RBs if we have ones that are good enough.

With that being said, if this kid came to LSU and played safety... $$$$$

He's fast no doubt, but Merritt is like 10.60 100m guy

10.68 in the hundred, so about a tenth faster, but Ducre is 30lbs heavier. What I'm saying is they are basically the same type athlete, and LSU has Ducre committed...Love to have one of Merrit or Jackson though.

I like Merritt a lot, but I think I like Donte Jackson more. I think Merritt is a rare type of freak athlete, but I like Donte's mix of athleticism and instincts more.

Completely agree with this.

shite I want Donte Jackson and Kirk. Also they play two different positions, right?

I think A&M is in a little bit of trouble this season, and I am tired of the rebuilding card. Let's not act like Mike Sherman doesn't have an eye for talent.

We're a contender for any prospect that visits Alabama weekend. I am itching to hear Tiger Stadium post-expansion when Bama is in town.

High SPARQ rating is kiss of death for LSU. Landon Collins and Speedy both won.
