Has there been any other player with as much hype as Fournette?

He's already being called a heisman contender. Everyone is scared of him already. LSU fans are losing their minds over him.

Who else has evoked this kind of hype without playing one down of college football, if any?

never have seen a recruit before with THIS much hype

crazy thing is, he's been hyped since he was in 8th grade and he's got the talent to back it all up.

He's prolly the most hyped in LSU history.

Fournette
Faulk
Perrilloux
McKnight
Randle
Collins
Freak
Booty
Doucet

I would put la recruits in that order. I know there is more further back maybe idk.

I was just thinking that. Russel Shepard came to mind. The difference is...we learned from Shepard, but at the time..he was still number one athlete and overal recruit in the country. Difference is...we know LF is more likely legit. We would'nt know that had RS never came here.
