re: Will Fournette start this season?

This is the most anticipation I've ever had for an LSU recruit to play.

Russell Shepard was close, but we didn't know what position he was, etc. Perrilloux was also close but we knew he wasn't going to play a ton his freshman year with Flynn here.

Buga is going to amaze. Just feel lucky we're here to witness it. He's 100% physically ready to be a primary back in the SEC and maybe even beyond. He's just a monster. Plus, he's got a GREAT head on his shoulders and has a GREAT work ethic. Very rare combination these days.

I think he gets about 1/3rd of the carries this year, maybe a bit more. Won't start a single game IMO though just due to principle. People forget Magee is a very good back with experience and Hilliard is in great shape from taking so many reps this Spring.

Buga 40% carries on the year
Magee 35%
Hilliard 20%
Others 5%
