he's proven he can ball, how much playing time do you see him getting with Hill (assumed to be coming back) and Fournette?

With hill leaving, is Magee the defacto starter in spring practice?

Same as this year. Change of pace back that comes in against tired defenses

He'll still get his touches. With a new qb next year, I don't see us throwing that much

He is one great back and can go the distance anytime he has the ball. I hope he gets many chances.

I don't expect Fournette to get a lot of carries out of the gate. His carries should gradually increase. I would expect Magee to have 10+ carries a game the first few games

Probably the Spencer Ware role ala 2010.

We're gonna be a damn loaded backfield with Hill, Fournette, Magee, and Hilliard. At LSU, that's not a crowded backfield believe it or not. There's always the guys who are beastly at the start of the season who kind wear down and then the guys who are fresh that wreck shite down the stretch.

He's going to be more involved than people think. I think he'll be our #2 back. He's a SR and talented, I think he has earned his carries.

I keep seeing the word 'carries.'

I think that we will see a much increased usage of our RB's in the passing game next year because Cameron has historically liked them to be involved, and we will not have a QB with the velocity to throw those sideline routes like Mett has done.

That said, I say our RB's get around 50-55 RB touches a game. I know that this is a shite ton, but out WR's will be a bit inexperienced, and RB's will be too talented to keep out of the game. I see the breakdown (assuming Hill comes back) in any given game around:

Hill: 18-25
LF: 15-20
Magee: 7-15
Hilliard: 5-10
Williams - too early to make a call on him as he might grab a RS if all Jr's come back.

Highest YPA on the team homie. Him and Hilliard will have roles on the team. It takes a lot to get those tough few yards for a first or a touchdown, and Hilliard is capable and will get some of those touches. Magee is a homerun threat and has proved himself.
