Kinda makes you shake your head that he is #2 on 247.

He deserves the hype. He's an elite hs player who backed it up on the field and he's an even better person than player
Hadn't heard that kind of praise before.
Love it..

"I got to see him play on TV," Peyton Manning said earlier this year. "My brother Cooper sent me a text and said, 'Hey, there's a big game between St. Augustine and John Curtis,' who have always been powerhouses in New Orleans. So I was home on a Friday night, turned the game on and he's an impressive linebacker -- and, oh by the way, he's also the top-rated running back as well. He's some kind of athlete.
"And I haven't had a chance to meet him, but watching the game that he had against John Curtis, one of the best programs in the country, that kind of told me everything I needed to know about how good of a player he is."
Also intrigued was Peterson, the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player. Upon hearing about the Louisiana kid who was being favorably compared to him, Peterson sat down recently at the Vikings' training facility to watch YouTube videos of Fournette. The first word out of the Minnesota Vikings' All-Pro running back's mouth: "Wow."
"He's a taller back with a great combination of size, speed and power," Peterson said. "Has great vision; his feet follow his eyes very well. He's very impressive.
"If he keeps working hard, the sky is the limit for him."

Did they leave out the part where he deferred the POTY to the EJ QB?

They did leave that out.

Can't fit em all in there

I watched the video in that link and it seemed that Marcus Dupree was pushing LF to linebacker. He said he would likely have a longer career and get paid more $$$ at the LB position. LF said he was 50/50 on whether to choose LB or RB. Is Les recruiting LF on whatever position he wants to play?

we NEED him. meltdown if he isn't ours...

Yes even if he wants to be HC #buganation

I'm 34 years old and would cry in public if he doesn't go to LSU.

LF has all the makings and tools of a superstar. Will he do it at LSU? Have no doubt he's coming here.

One major college coach who has recruited the New Orleans area for decades insisted Fournette is talented enough to play for the Saints right now. In fact, he said Fournette was better than any back on the Saints' roster, which incudes Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram.
But he's gonna sit behind Magee.

Oh. I really like this one
quote:
Against Jesuit, St. Aug coach Cyril Crutchfield aligned Fournette often at slot receiver, and Fournette responded with seven catches for 242 yards, including touchdowns of 61 and 66 yards. "In my 23 years, he's unquestionably the best I've seen at running back," said Mitch Small, the marketing director for the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. "I've seen Kevin Faulk, Cecil Collins, Warrick Dunn, Travis Minor, who people forget was the national high school player of the year.

He also won the 100-meter dash in a time of 10.68 seconds -- "little-guy speed," Curtis marveled -- at the Class 4A regional track meet for good measure.
