Yeah I know, he was a monster as a soph, but from the OP he said he's at the state final and it sounds like Taylor must be tearing it up.

Look, I think its a big risk to go basically 2 years without a RB since Hill was supposed to sign in 2011. I'd rather sign 1 RB every year. But the question is, who would be leave out to make room for Taylor?

One of the cookie cutter WR/DB guys. LSU signs 5-6 of those a year.

And we'll have no problem signing 3 RB's next year so what's the big deal?

Brazil/White/Diarse/Jefferson? Tough to leave one of those guys out.

Yes, either way he can. With a phenomenal year (2013)his draft stock rises - w/o it he's a late round pick - so the possibility of him returning for his senior season at this time I think is 65/35.

I'm not saying passing on Taylor will be the downfall of LSU. If he chose to go to A&M it would hurt a lot more. With him going to Nebraska, LSU will never have to play him unless it's in the Cap 1.

Yeah, I'd always rather see a guy go out of the SEC, but certainly out of the SEC West

BRUNNIN4, so we completely leave a RB out of this class to show Fournette that he's the focus but then sign 2 other backs in the same class as him? Whole lot of sense that strategy makes. Kind of shoots the whole "the focus is all on Fournette" bullshite out of the water doesn't it? (Not directly meant to attack you but more the strategy as it has been explained all year)

Don't have to leave anyone out of the class to make room for Taylor. We've got spots available that we're not going to use or that we're gonna give Riley and/or Carter or save for the slight chance that Gardner and/or McNeil qualify. Again great strategy.

If we need to leave someone out then my vote would've gone to Logan Stokes. Glad to have him but is he really someone that is gonna be a differencmaker or even a big contributor for us?

How many of you guys would take Malone over A. Taylor. Which one would you greyshirt based on talent, position of need and recruits in next years class. I just don't see it being a numbers issue.

And I could see why the folks in Katy might be upset. Anyone know details about his offer, when did he get it and was it a committable offer.

Also the concerns about his knee should have been
answered with his performance this year and the fact he would most likely redshirt his first year. How confident

do the staff feel about Blue, seems like a similar situation to Richard Murphy. And what are the chances both Ford and Ware go pro. Lost in all of this is Magee who can't be happy with his current situation, would anyone be surprised if he transferred.

Everyone is Right we do not need this kind of talent on the team! Especially, when he wanted to go to LSU!

I am not Butt Hurt over this but everyone on this site seems to think it is a fore gone conclusion that Fournette is coming to LSU, those folks better be praying Saban is going to Cleveland!
