How do you see RB depth shaking out after this season?

And does it give you any pause?
Assuming Guice goes pro and no one transfers, after this season the only RBs on the roster will be:
Nick Brossette Sr.
Lanard Fournette Jr.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire So.
Obviously that doesn't account for incoming freshmen, so they can hopefully sign one or two immediate impact guys. Missing out on Cam Akers was huge.

This depth chart should have every top RB interested in coming to LSU. Especially if Guice has a great year in Canada's system. A top tier back can come in and get some carries in their first season.

For the first time in a long time I'm worried about the depth at rb. You're right, losing Cam Akers was HUGE. Hopefully CEH is better than we expect and tears shite up.

For a school that relies so heavily on running the ball, this coaching staff sure has failed at every turn to put some good depth on the roster.
I thought O was a recruiter? Seems Jimbo beat him at every turn last cycle (Akers and Wilson)
Gonna be fun trotting Brossette and a 5'4" RB out there against Bama in 2018

As of now it definitely appears to be a step down. We have been spoiled pretty bad the last few years. Two first round RBs ( potentially) in back to back seasons will do that.

I see we better recruit hard because the depth is underwhelming atm.

We don't have to assume. He's already said he's leaving after this year:

Depth is a problem bur CEH is a stud.

Fully expect to pick up two differenc makers at RB this recruiting season. Don't think for a second that guys haven't been looking at our RB's the last couple years and going elsewhere. That won't be the case this coming year.
Clyde will be a good back for us, but we will have 2 difference makers sign this year.

We need Mike Damone, & a Big-Time Running Back.

I wouldn't worry about it yet. LSU has not always had a Hill, Fournette or Guice on the roster but has always had competent serviceable backs. the OL makes a huge difference as does the passing game.
I would be writing off Edwards-Helaire either. he might be like Dalton Hilliard; he came from nowhere and he was short but had tree trunks for legs.

Canada may have to work in Narcisse to add an extra ground threat.

Having an elite running back is certainly a luxury. However, it's the one position where a quality true freshman can step in and produce.
Fournette, Vincent, K. Hilliard to name a few.
Even Blue got reps early on as a freshman.

Hopefully we flip Cook from fsu

After this season, we will sign an elite RB. Even if he may not be on radar right now. Our success in putting RB's in the league the last 5 years has been outstanding
