Holy shite

I don't remember his soph film popping like this. Before I thought of him more as a bruiser, but now his developed style reminds me a ton of Stevan Ridley.

I usually hate talent comparisons as they are vague and generalized, but his yac is unbelievable. He cuts his feet and turns his hips to avoid and shed blockers.

Elite talent. I really hope we hang onto him, and I hope he understands how well he would compliment fournette/wiiliams. He will get his time, be drafted with less mileage on his body, and have a long fruitful nfl career.

It's amazing how talented the Uigh cubs have been.

If we get him, guice and Moses, we will be known as RBU along with DBU.

I can't tell exactly who he reminds me of most, he's like a combination of a lot of the great backs that have come through here. I see some Ridley and Hester, but I think I'll go with Justin Vincent. He's got vision and great feet.

love the film but dont see the comparison at all. Spencer Ware was a beast, honestly, never seen ANYONE run like him before. He seeked violent conflict. Not saying he was the best back, but damn it was fun to watch.

This film looks like Earl Campbell. He and Guice could be the best 2 in the nation.

He has great vision but lacks speed. His ability to shed tacklers is pretty amazing. He never took a big hit in all those highlights.

I didn't look at Moses I didn't want to look that far ahead. I gotta say Guice is the real deal.


Yea, well you are missing out because all of these guys could end up in the backfield together. If that happened, judging by high school highlights, who do you think will be the starter?

Regardless, If you are an LSU Recruiting junkie then treat yourself! in 2017 the Tigers could possibly have the most potent Rb core in the nation!

15 Nick Brossette (4.5) or 2015 RB Derrius Guice (4.35)

2016 Rb Devin White (4.48) or 17 Dylan Moses (4.39)

Judging by these highlights guice>brosette. Both different kind of backs, would be a great 1 2 punch

IMO, 4.5 speed is plenty for a 6 foot 210 lbs back. What's more important is vision and a nose for the end zone. He can also catch. I'm sure his father with whom I attended HS with made sure he was well-rounded.

I knew he was fast, but he is also very explosive too. I remember looking at time like close to a year ago listing him a like 4.65. I could tell from the tape he was faster than that, and I'm not talking just top end. You can see his stop and go and it's like a burst of lightening with zig zagging path. Before anybody goes apeshit, that part of his running style reminds me of Reggie Bush, but he has a lot more upper body power and leg drive like Marshawn Lynch.

He will definitely run in the 4.3s if he goes through any of the camp circuits this offseason.

I want both, Brosette is fun to watch. Guice could be used in other roles as well. He is the faster of the two and looks like he could be used in returning punts and kicks.

Brosette & Guice could be the running back version of Beckham & Landry.

He is not a 4.5 speed guy. He looks more in the 4.7-4.8 range. He reminds me of Charles Scott with better vision and hips.

Now there is nothing wrong with his speed, his vision and hips make up for it. There is also a chance one more year of maturity he can get faster.

This is the type back CLM loves.

Good vision and keeps his feet going through contact. Doesn't look like he has a great burst In my opinion he will be a Charles Scott, Alley Broussard, Kenny Hillard type of runner at the next level.
