LSU fans like Emory and we are pulling for him. But the truth is they have 4 young runners allready and none of them have the injury history that he does. It's not personal I'm sure, they just don't have room now.

He’d do well going somewhere like Tulane or ULL. If he went to ULL Walker Howard would be the QB and Emery the RB.

Could make the playoffs...from the "others" pile.

Wanted to come back so he can play a season with his son

Now this is funny

Durham. Jackson who has supposedly slimmed down. JuJuan Johnson who they moved back to offense. Harlem Berry and JT Lindsey who ran for more yds than Berry last year at 5A level. Pretty well full

Saunson69•9 months

No, not Kaleb Jackson. No. He has proven he can't do it. 75% Durham. 25% Berry or JT Lindsey, most likely Berry.

Who also haven’t proven it? Let’s think next time

John tried but did not pan out for LSU, may he find success elsewhere….

He's a TIGER

With the new 105 roster limit, coaches have their hands tied and have to keep the absolute best at each position, with no room for players they otherwise would have kept.

He needs to go to Tulane

I like John Emery, but if BK says we are set for running backs, that sounds pretty good to me!

Kid Ray•9 months

You can NEVER have enough running backs.

NIL means LSU football is more like a business. Tigers wish JE well, but gotta keep young broncos happy in stable. Could see him going 1800 + at Nichols

blueboxer1119•9 months

Zero chance. God bless Emery, but he’s done bro.
He probably wouldn’t make the team at Nichols.

JUCO bound!

It took him 7 years to get a BA. Sounds like you and him are very similar.

Saving that receipt

This is fine. I said in a comment earlier Durham really needs to be the feature back. Rotating 3 to 4 guys isn't best strategy. Durham should get 75% of handoffs, then the new 5 star freshman Berry get the other 25%. I like this strategy better although Emery is a great back.
