Anyone thinking we take 2 RBs in the 2014 class?

Especially since it looks like we aren't taking one in this year's. While we've essentially put it all on red for Fournette, I'd like to at least take another RB for some insurance. I'm not suggesting that Fournette isn't coming here (inb4bamalock), I'm just entertaining the idea of a complement to Fournette in our future backfield.

I sure hope so. I haven't followed any other 2014 RBs though, so I have no idea who else is interested. I hope they don't compromise on that second RB if they get Fournette though.

I think we take definitely two, and possibly three.

Other than Fournette, some of the in-state options include Paleilei at EA, Thomas at Salmen, and the kid John Ehret. There may be some other options as well that pop up in the near future or that I'm forgetting about right now.

I can see us taking a look at East Ascension RB Sione Palelei or even Salmen RB Chris Thomas.

I'd say Palelei is our first option after Fournette.

What's his name? Didn't realize Ehret had a D1 junior RB prospect.

I dont think there is any doubt that we will, the question will be who and how many more. All the listed options are in play, and I think some out of state prospects as well

Brossette for one, and I think East Fel has really good Soph RB, as well as Catholic High.

SP seems like a smallish guy compared to our mold. I can't find any stats on him either. But his highlight vid is pretty good: Sione Palelei

Something Williams I think. I don't remember, but there are highlights on 247. Big kid, good looking runner. Same type back as Fournette. Could be a Hilliard, Hill, Magee thing with him, Fournette, and Paleilei or Thomas.

He's got an offer, apparently. I know Bama will take Scarborough in 2014, but I don't know how many other backs they take, since they took Yeldon and Drake in 2012, they have 3 committed this year and Scarborough is already on board for 2014.

Apparently he's a huge Bama lean and they will be taking 2.

As long as we get #4 from U High in 2015 I don't care if they only take LF in 2014.
