McKnight and Randle were both #2 on Rivals, but I don't remember them getting as much hype as Fournette.


The recruiting industry is way different from even five years ago.

Fournette may feel like the most hyped because he's still a junior but we've been talking about him since his Freshman year.

It's not considered a big deal anymore that junior would already have an offer from LSU. Heck if you're not offered you're junior season you're an "unknown."

The amount of hype surrounding Booty relatively speaking to these days...combine McKnight, Nkimdche(sp?), and the excitement of Mett-siah all rolled into one.

High school kids didn't have multipage write ups in Sports Illustrated.

I remember Tyronne Vaughn getting a pretty nice blurb in 82.. then he got shut down by a no name anonymous DB...
