I believe he is the most important in my history with the team which has only been about 12 years. So since then. Yes. With just Terrance Magee coming back as a true contributor to the run game we absolutely need LF to keep our dominance with the RB position up. He makes us a completely different team and he will be essential in helping draw attention away from Jennings and his scrambling and passing ability. WE NEED LF or a top RB recruit in this class.

ETA but my favorite recruit has been between CG3 and Ed Paris. Next year my favorite recruit will most likely be Daylon Mack. After watching what Jrevonte posted I'm that kids #1 fan. I love a disruptive defensive player like that.

I remember in 2000 there was a 5* back named Darren Parquet that was btw us and Bama. We had to have him and Saban landed him here. He wasn't shiit. Never started a game. You never really know with these kids. Look at Russell Shepard.

KW had LF's physical make-up wjtb size/speed but had an aversion to running north-south, Charles Scott lacked breakaway speed, Broussard was a beast but didn't have great hands, Ware lacks vision, JV found white women and Bogie's

Im just saying, each one of those guys at their best at LSU, were elite. The biggest thing with all of them was consistency year to year, and injury.

The SEC will definitely magnify any weakness. None of those guys in HS showed any though.

quote:
and Fournette's has yet to come...but right now, nobody sees a chink in the armor. And he's been prodded, evaluated, and measured up under 1000X the magnifying glass as those you mentioned. No weaknesses. And he is a quality kid and leader, just for good measure.

No doubt and im not trying to cut him down at all. People need to be realistic though.

Is he going to score more than 18 TDs in a season like Scott was able to do?

What about set SECCG and Freshamn rushing records like Vincent?

All time single game rushing records like Broussard?

Can he maintain a 5.7 YPC averaged over 4 years like Keiland?

He has the talent to do all of that, but seriously, people need to be realistic. All these guys were great great talents before him. The pinnacle for RBS is only so high.

maybe, maybe not. But he definitely has the potential and the make-up to do all that and more, and that's really all we need to know at this point. All i know is i'm ready to find out!
