LSU RB room

Getting a little thin on depth with just Jackson, Holly and Durham coming in. Very talented group. Williams stays that would be a great boost. Great RB's if not but thin on over all experience. If Williams leaves, should we get an experienced RB out of the portal? Just for depth and experience.

I’m definitely of the opinion that we should be hunting the portal for Jackson to have a partner in crime. Love Williams, great vet and he could be a situational guy but don’t want him as our #2RB season long

I think Williams has already announced he is coming back. Also there has been no word from Emery about his status.

If Emery comes back would be be a 9th year senior?

Holly is a beast too. They should get lots of carries anyway. Should have got bulk of bowl game carries.

I may be in the minority but I do not see any reason to be adding running backs. It seems as though Josh Williams is coming back and that can be your veteran presence in that room. Let those three young guys get some run. Kaleb Jackson showed a lot or promise, Trey Holly flashed in the very limited action he had, and Caden Durham is a highly recruited running back that dominated at the 6A level in Texas.

We had 4 or 5 RB's in 2022 and we needed a safety to play RB in the bowl game.
And that was WITH Daniels as QB.
We need at least 1 transfer RB.

we're fine. we just seem thin because we had 8 this last year

If Williams leaves there will be a problem with pass protection. They need someone who understands protection, which is what Williams did.

Emery got hurt late in the season. He might not make it back for beginning of the season even if he comes back. This same issue will make it hard for him to make a NFL roster if he declares…

I agree.
I also feel getting PT early bodes well with recruits.

Yeah, I'm only adding a back if it's someone elite. I bet they add someone though.
To me it comes down to how much they trust jackson and holly. If Josh Williams gets hurt again, you are down to 2 redshirt freshmen.

The Oklahoma State QB is going for 7 years so Emery will not be alone.

I would have ideally liked to have seen Diggs and Jackson split carries as RB1 with Holly being the sole RB3 and primary backup for both and Williams taking the Noah Cain role if he came back. With the expectation of needing to back to pick up the yards JD produced the past two years you're cutting it pretty close assuming all these guys left are healthy.

Every year people shite on Williams because he is a walk on but that dude is our most reliable back. What exactly has he done to warrant the yearly disrespect?
Dude produces positive plays everytime he’s in the game

Williams has to know he won’t be the #1 back next season!! But I do love him coming back!! A true Tiger!

Jackson and Holly are ready to play large roles and Durham will be able to contribute his 1st year as well to go with the reliable Josh Williams. We are just fine. Most teams would kill for that RB room.

Williams is our best pass blocking RB, best downfield blocking back, best receiving RB and most reliable when it comes to getting critical yardage on 3rd down. The only thing he doesn't possess is breakaway speed. He reminds me of Hester when he played. A RB who's effort exceeds his ability.
