Not top end speed
Wants to play RB at next level
If Fournette to LSU, my guess is LSU will not care either way
If Fournette not to LSU, then LSU will want him at RB

That is what their mods on Rivals are saying.

IMO nothing has changed with the kid, for now. He has always been in communication with other staffs, so this hasn't suddenly changed for him. I typically get the lowdown when the UF staff starts to worry about a kid, and nothing has come of it yet.

Any other year and he is a take as a RB, but this is the year of Leonard Fournette.



Dont know if this is true but we will need some one else other than LF to complement him and give him breathers

Yeah I'm sure you guys will have a pretty good shot at him if we land Fournette. With Fournette, Sione, Magee, and Blue just getting offered a fifth year of eligibility, and then Brossette committed for 2015 he may not see the field here and it would be wise to go elsewhere.

Yeah I'm not sure I see the carries for Williams with the additions of Fournette and Sione.

Why is he committed to ASU? Seems weird. Family ties?


The recruit the area well. They have a couple local kids on the team now...and IIRC, two DL for Ehret are current commits as well

Damn straight. He's like a bigger version of Spencer Ware. We'll finally get back to wearing defenses down with Fournette, Magee and Williams smashing bodies. Then you have Palelei to clean up the remains ala Alfred Blue 2011.

We usually run about 40-45 times a game so maybe bump it up to 50. (45-50 rush 20-25 pass)

Fournette 18 carries
Magee 10
Williams 8
Jennings 6
Palelei 5-8

47-50 carries.

I'd think Palelei might redshirt in that situation given his injury and the fact that Terrence Magee fills his role decently well as-is.

lol, funny think those 2015 backs are better, what part of the lsu camp did yall not see when they all got together, 2 men leonard and darrel , and rest boys , which we knew was going happen, thats why right now the talk in new orleans and around the state is leonard and darrel. trust me ask the rival guys , if they where better who was selected the two best backs at lsu camp, by 24/7,scout, and rivals, a clean sweep ... you think you these sec heavywghts would offer a avg back a full ride...plese put em behine the same line , darrel much more violent then any other back in the state. footage don't lie. compare , each of those guys running behine a lsu commit, a fla onetime commit, tex commit, darrel running behind delgado line.

I honestly struggled reading this. Still have no clue what the entire first half means.

He's still a take a RB, it just may depend on how many leave. Blue still may not come back, hill, and likely Hilliard are gone though.

this might happen a few times but honestly, I don't see us burning him out his freshman year. Hill has only averaged 15.6 per game this season.

He is quite a talent! Your appreciation for his talents are well documented. His talents speak for themselves. Just my opinion, but I would think that it is uneccessary to put your own O-line down in an effort to praise one player, especially if you are on their coaching staff. Good luck in the playoffs!
