RB targets

So to those in the recruiting know, what is RB plans for 2018?
We obviously missed this year and are very light and it needs to be priority in next couple classes. Browsing the 2018 rankings there aren't that many guys with LSU on their lists.
The couple like Franklin out of Mississippi and Anthony Williams more locally have LSU on lists but have no offers.
They need to get in on some of these guys now before we end up with another Etienne situation, which still blows my mind why we wouldn't recruit that guy, putting all eggs in the Akers basket.

We will be the most desirable school for RBs in 2018. Proven ability to put RBs into the NFL plus a gaping hole after Guice.
Give it a couple months and watch the situation develop after Summer camps.
ETA: my guess is we end up with Franklin and make a hard run at Lorenzo Lingard.

And with the potential hire of Larry Porter as our running backs coach we will be in a great position to pull Zamir White out of NC

we did not "miss" this year. our signee has a lot of potential. but my many years of watching recruiting has taught me that when we are short on a position and immediate playing time is eminent a lot of players take note and we sign a lot of them. simply put, I ain't worried about signing RB's next year. AND, that one position where a true freshman can step in and play immediately.

With Guice having another stellar year I expect a big name to sign

In my opinion, LSU's last 3 starting RBs will have gone in the 2nd, 1st, and 1st round (yes after the year I expect Guice to have, this guy could be a top 10 pick). With Hill being a 4 year starter being the best rookie one year, near the top of the league in TDs scored by an RB every year, and Fournette having a monster rookie year (again, my opinion), then Guice blowing up going for 2k and getting drafted in the first, how would you not want to jump your happy arse over here?
I expect LSU to pull no less than two top level backs in the 18 class.

I say go after White, Martin, and Franklin. Cast a wide net and try and land 2! If can produce this year like he did last it should attract a few guys with the lack of depth we'll have going into '18.

I didn't see these names mention but a couple of more good backs for the 2018 class.
1. Keontay Ingram from Carthage,Texas.
2. Troy St. Julien from Vinton, Louisiana.
