ESPN 150 that LSU that targetting. Sorry if Germans!

For those of you that don't have access, hre's the scoop from Gary Laney, ESPN:

1. Leonard Fournette, RB 70% LSU, although they have Alabama at a 60% landing him and Texas is now in the mix

2. Cameron Robinson, OT 50/50 between us and Bama

3. Speedy Noil, ATH 75% us but will wait on committing until later this year (he's being entertained by Florida and Texas A&M)

4. Hootie Jones, S 60% us and also has Bama and Ohio State in the mix

5. Tony Brown, CB 75% us, sister already signed with LSU, should favor us

6. Malachi Dupre, WR 75% us, Florida State and Bama are in the mix as well

7. Gerald Willis, DL 40%, his brother's at Bama and he's open to looking anywhere

8. Trey Quinn, WR 75% LSU lock

9. Ed Parris,CB 99% LSU lock

10. Garrett Brumfield, OG, 60% LSU, was looking at Florida schools and Bama until recently

This will get interesting by this fall.

According to ESPN's Greg Ostendorf that cover's Bama Insider:

LINK

1. RB Leonard Fournette (New Orleans/St. Augustine)
6-foot-1, 232 pounds
ESPN 150 Rank: 1

"Why they want him: Think Trent Richardson. Fournette might have the best combination of size and speed since Richardson came out in 2009. He’s a perfect fit for Alabama’s pro-style offense and has a chance to be the next great running back for the Crimson Tide. Alabama has a ridiculous number of young backs set to be on campus, but Fournette has the talent to play right away."

"Who else wants him: Fournette says he had more than 100 offers as a freshman. The biggest threat to Alabama is clearly the in-state school, LSU, but also keep an eye on Texas. The Longhorns just landed a commitment from Fournette's teammate, Jermaine Roberts.

Odds they get him: 60 percent"

You are correct. None of these articles make since from a percentage standpoint.

Shoddy journalism if you ask me.

Idk if these are your percentages or ESPN's (Im not an insider) but hootie is not looking at Ohio state anymore and gerald willis is not looking at bama really anymore so there is no reason that should be listed with them

not journalism, entertainment

it entertains more of the different fanbases if they lead them to believe they have a better shot at highly touted players

I see that too and I'm like wtf? Hill was 6'1-6'1 1/2 233lb and looked big. Fournette is 6'1 and looks nowhere near Hill's size, hell Dylan Moses looked bigger than Fournette in the picture they took together and Moses is only listed at 215.
