Hard to compare because their running styles are pretty different.

I personally don't think anything good can come of this right now.

I think Rivals and 24/7 have it pretty much right.

Guice - 5* / very high 4*
Ducre - medium 4*
Brossette - low 4* / high 3*

Remember hill and Hillard and everyone picked who was gonna be better. No one knows it's only opinions. It's how hard they gonna work, who wants it more type thing. Anyway they will hopefully both be great

I don't know if you watched the Redemptorist vs Patterson game on ESPN their SR seasons where you could watch Hill and Hilliard on the same field? I thought Hill would be an elite RB with Hilliard being certainly good. But Hill had the same power that Hilliard had but more speed. Admittedly the defenses weren't the same but you could see IMO what I just stated in that game.

I just never saw either play. I'm sure they will both do great. I loved the DG interview I heard on 1045 but have no clue past highlight footage

Take this with a grain of salt but I kept up with their movements in the services during the season:

Guice and Ducre pretty much shot up the rankings... Brossette I think stayed the same or dropped a little. Hard to believe LSU won't be ranked #1 in the RB/FB unit 2015 class.

BTW, nothing wrong with the topic. Otherwise, why do people harp on stars all over this forum? Pretty hypocritical for someone not to give rankings when they are quoted here time and time again.

Thanks for that. I'm very happy for these guys. They will all play in meaningful games w/o getting run to death. Kudos for the staff for using this method for some years.

Remember Garry James and Dalton Hilliard? James was way more highly touted but D. Hilliard was outstanding! So fun to watch him play.

Brossette dropped a bit b/c he committed early...and it was not to Bama...

Exactly. Having such different styles makes it difficult to pick one as better than the other. That being said, Ducre is just a fricking beast! He doesn't just run over players, he drags them down the field. Plus he has really good speed and vision. I'd be inclined to say his attributes are better suited for SEC football than the other two. But Guice is lightening in a bottle and Brossette has a great combination of speed and power. Can't wait to see how they perform at the next level.

I think Guice is the best of the three. He's what people call the complete back. Size, power, speed, vision, agility and hands. He's a 3 down back if he can block. I do think he's gonna have to reign in some of the cockiness though. Not the confidence but the cockiness.

Brossette is #2 to me and its because he's just a natural runner. He's got everything a power back needs. He's got nice feet and vision. Not a home run guy but doesn't need to be.

Ducre is the wild card. Kids got it all as a runner but its come down to role and if he's got that natural running ability the others do. Hes gonna be a fan favorite

Can't go wrong with any of them and all 3 will have their shining moments. I just think Guice is that guy that has the ability to be a superstar. Lot of Hurley in that kid. Think he can make things happen when maybe he shouldn't while the other 2 can be schemed out of the game because they can't improvise and explode like Guice can. Gonna be fun to watch them all

I was at that game. Didn't see any ESPN there. And Hilliard looked like an absolute animal that game. Hill had one nice catch out of the backfield where he showed tremendous speed snd agility for a big back, but Hilliard was the man on both sides of the ball all game




ETA, apparently they played twice. The first game on ESPN and Hilliard played only the first half before getting injured.
