Should J.Brazil be groomed at rb too ease depth concerns?

I think Brazil is an interesting prospect in this class...

I also sort of feel .. with White coming in and the DBs who will arrive in the next class...

And seeing now the offense Cam Cameron is implementing....

Brazil SHOULD play offense! seems to me.....

He could certainly fit a bit in the role of De'Anthony Thomas @ Oregon and Tovan Austin @ West Virginia

I brought that up about a month back and I could see him turning into a D'Anthony type then hopefully we get Speedy next year and have a Tavon Austin type receiver.

Terrence Magee was the leading rusher in the scrimmage and NOLA reported that he could be a Darren Sproles type player for LSU. Sounds like we once again have a four deep RB rotation, even withou Brazil.

Having said that, I think that they have to find a way to use Brazil's speed on offense if he has any ball skills at all.

He will be on Offense, an be used as a wr/rb/returner.

I like Magee but I don't see anywhere near that kind of explosion out of him.

Brazil does though

I have been hoping Brazil ends up as a pure WR at LSU.

Since when do we have depth concerns at RB?

ETA: That said, I would love to see Brazil get a few snaps at RB.

He would look good at any offense position. Les needs to figure a way to get him the ball in space. U can't coach speed, U either have or not.

Maybe next year if Blue and Hill both go to the draft, but they are 4 deep at RB this year.

Part of the formula for success is going to be how to best utilize the ton of talent we have gathered in this awesome class.

We have 4 quality RB's. Blue and Hill are both all SEC backs. Hilliard has had more success in this league than any other 3rd string back. And for leftovers we have the darter in Magee who should have a play or two in him each game to lessen the burden. If we lose all four of these guys, whether u move Brazil Louis or whoever here it just wasnt our year.
