Should have offered Sherman Badie...

Yep

Our True Freshmen running backs are sucking it up big time

Neither. LSU uses multiple backs. Badie would be a great asset next year. We have 4 power backs. Sherman could be a good change of pace back this year too as a RS freshman

we do need a smaller back who would add explosion
and big play ability. all of our back are approaching 225+. we need a couple of buys who could play read option with harris. fournette and guice could actually be used as f'back in read option with a trailing speed back like badie. on the other hand, lm would never offer a back that was less than 210 in hs. backs have to fit into the Michigan downhill running attack. we also could use a speed slot like noil, Jackson, dillion etc. we need some explosive players on offense.

Miles doesn't like break away RBs

No. I would not recruit kids from Curtis. This is nothing personal, and I have met, coached against, and respect JT; he is a good man. Having said that these kids are frequently maxed out in terms of reaching their potential as players. Some of them are held back to be 19 year old seniors. They have an excellent weight program and hit the supplements. They are also well coached. In most instances, there is little room for improvement.

what a stupid, ignorant, blanket statement


They have had their share of busts, but you have to look at each kid individually.

Since the Saban era-present, there probably isnt a school that has given us more kids then Curtis. Maybe West Mornoe but that'd be it.


As far as Badie, props to Tulane. There's a reason they've recruited RBs that have turned out to be better then the guys at LSU

he has 3 runs over 70 yards in 5 games. 2nd in the conference in rushing with only 60 carries. what a bum

Look at the players we have gotten from Curtis. How many if any lived up to the hype?
