After watching video of Reuban Randle and Julio Jones,in High school, for hours, I have come to a conclusion. Before I say mine, what is your opinion of who is better.

My opinion is that you have WAY too much free time.

Jones is more physically intimidating. He's bigger and stronger..harder to tackle. I think Randle might be faster and he looks way more fluid. Randle is friggin' smooth out there and he can jump really well.

Randle is more like AJ Green than Julio, tbh. Of the three I'd say JJ is the most talented physically.

based on your past posts, i'm going to say your answer is jones, but either way, it would be hard for Randle to be better than Jones his freshmen year.

Randle is more versatile, but Julio is a powerful receiver. I honestly believe that Randle is perfect for our O and Julio is perfect for BAMA's O. So for LSU, Reuben is better.

Randle is more fluid, polished, and better in space. Jones is just a beast, very physical. Both have good hands.

I thought they were close to being the same level of talent from listening to other LSU fans talk about Randle but after watching ALOT of H.S. footage, they arent even close.

Randle seems to have great vision but he is not even on the same level of WR that Jones was in H.S. Randle is a very good player but not in the same catagory as Jones at all. Not even close.

Kinda dissapointing.

Where'd you get all these hours of film? Just about any film you see on RR at WR is from his sophmore and Jr. years. Randle is right there in talent w/ Jones.

If he goes to LSU, I will bet anyone that Randle will not have the production of A.J Green or Julio Jones.

I have to agree there. I don't think he's that far off in terms of sheer god-given ability..it's just different than what Julio has.

1. You're a tool
2. You're right. He will be going to a school where he has to fight for playing time. He can't just walk on like at Bama

That's a decent bet....as is the bet that he will be playing for a National Championship, whereas at Bama or Georgia, he would just be living with hype machines and inevitable disappointment.

I'm glad you reached that conclusion based off of one post.

He'll start where ever he chooses to go. I would venture to say that will be LSU. In any case, though, I would be extremely surprised for him to produce the same way Green and Jones had.

You never know. You might be a better judge than I, but sometimes guys look like superstars when they're not playing against tough competition. JJ had a poor game or two during the state playoffs. RR looks pretty solid.
