If bama were to some how get this kid after signing 4 RB's, I might jump

I was thinking the same thing. He'll have Henry, Yeldon, Hart, Scarborough plus 3 others his first year and no matter how good he is, he won't be playing above the established 2 beasts because that's how Saban does it.

Ingram Richardson Lacy/ junior, sopohmore, freshman
Richardson Lacy Fowler/ junior, sophomore, sophomore
Lacy Yeldon Fowler/ junior, freshman, junior

The only way you're jumping anybody is if you're super talented. Based on what I believe the roster/carry ranking would be with Fournette:

2013
Henry
Yeldon
Fowler/Hart

2014
Henry
Yeldon
Fournette
Scarborough

It won't be till his junior year that he's big man on campus, but looking in the past, he could still be drafted high.

Thing is I hate Bama because of the media hype and fans, but Saban has a formula to the running back thing and it works.

Personally I would think being the big man from day one is better than waiting to your last year in college.
