Watkins, Durham - will give us a big boost in speed on offense. Then look at Brown, Anderson, Jackson, Parker in this past class. Wow. BK is really adding some explosive players.

I remember Les only wanted RBs that were 225-230lbs. BK will have Durham and Berry in the same back field. And speedsters on at WR. Add Pimpton at receiving TE.

Don't forget Trey'Dez Green.

How do you guard a 6'6 and 6'7 tight end tandem at the same time?

Hyperbole at its finest. But undoubtedly his style of offense almost favored a bigger type of back and bigger backs tend to be more durable, at least that is the perception.

Running backs 225 or over in their first year at LSU under Les (not including FBs)

Spencer Ware - 225
Cleveland Davis - 260
Connor Neighbors - 233
Kenny Hilliard - 240
Jeremy Hill - 235
Leonard Fournette - 232
Darrel Williams - 230



Derrius Guice (222), Keiland Williams (223) and Charles Scott (221) were close.

Great point. It'll be nice to have more game break type speed around the entire offense. We've been missing that at rb spot, with emery / bradford/ Goodwin expected to be those guys last few seasons. injuries / suspensions / transfer limiting that. Staff is putting a huge focus on speed at rb and wr spot.

Combine that with the te talent we currently have on the roster, the next 2 commits, our ability to be multiple and attack from anywhere will naturally help the run and pass game. We've felt very vanilla last 3 years, and most of it was personnel driven. Nuss and future qbs have to love seeing what's at their disposal
