| Leonard Fournette info requested (Posted on 11/13/12 at 9:07 am)
I was wondering if anyone could provide a brief back story/bio of this guy. And give me your opinion on how LSU stands with him. I don't visit the RB as much as others so if this has been discussed before then 1000 pardons. Thanks!

we arent taking a running back in the 2013 class because LF is good enough to be the guy....that should say a lot

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, St. Augustine
Fournette is quite the specimen. He has a great frame and the speed/quickness combo that makes for a three-level back (he excels at short yardage, can get the 8-yard runs and also can hit a home run). As a receiver he shows soft hands and an ability to run crisp routes for such a big guy. The Purple Knights’ standout is an all-around back that should have a great college career.
2. Cameron Robinson, OL, West Monroe
3. Gerald Willis, DL, Edna Karr
4. Laurence Jones, DB, Neville
5. Devante Noil, WR, Edna Karr
6. Malachi Dupre, WR, John Curtis
7. Jacory Washington, TE, Westlake
8. Trey Quinn, WR, Barbe
9. William Clapp, OL, Brother Martin
10. Kenny Young, LB, John Curtis
11. Rae Juan Marbley, LB, Destrehan
12. Garrett Brumfield, OL, University
13. Cameron Sims, WR, Ouachita
14. Terrence Alexander, DB, John Curtis
15. Davon Godchaux, DL, Plaquemine
16. Quentin Gibson, QB, Shaw
17. Donovan Isom, QB, Destrehan
18. Corey McBride, WR, Dutchtown
19. Sione Palelei, RB, East Ascension
20. Gerrald McDowell, DL, Covington

His father and Frank Wilson are good friends. It looked like his recruiting battle was going to be Bama vs. LSU but with the emergence of Yeldon and the fact that Bo Scarborough (RB that will be a 5*) committed to the tide I would say we have a 90% chance of keeping him home. When I saw him he looked about 6'1" 230ish and ran like a deer. In my honest opinion I think he's the 2nd coming of Terrell Davis. I pray that he'll commit and his freshman year get around 10 carries a game behind Hill, his sophomore year he takes the reigns completely if Hill goes to the league and his junior year he leads us to the promise land and brings home a certain trophy from NY.

Bama is taking 3 RBs in this class AND as of this point, Scarborough in 2014. He'd be foolish to go there.

I'm going to start the nickname now that he Fourn-icates the opposing defense.

Going to be a meltdown of epic proportions if we don't land him. Best recruit out of Louisiana in years IMO.
