Top of wish list: all SEC caliber RB

Impressive analysis.

Lot of posters seem excited about Joyner, Curry and CEH.
But count me as positively relieved that you aren't concerned in Shreveport, Joe...

Great actor for Criminal Minds, FWIW.

Next year will probably be a running back by committee, with Nick Brossette, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Chris Curry, Harold Joiner (maybe) and Tae Provens all getting carries. In the 2019 class, we already have Tyrion Davis committed, who’s a stud. After that? Remember this name: John Emery Jr. Hes arguably the top back in the class and is a LSU lean.

Lol then why start a thread?

You must have forgotten that LSU can now run with their WRs and RBs which if you watched the game last night would have seen that you don't need an all SEC RB to break one for 50 or 60 yards bc Willimas isn't an AA or ASEC back but he sure as hell broke a big run.

LSU needs polished WRs, QBs, OL, DL, LBs, and DBs that love to play hard, are smart, physical, and natural leaders. The years of LSU only depending on the run game up the middle are over. Did you see how with all those 5* backs bama had that LSU rushed for more yards than bama in Tuscaloser? Imagine if all our second string OL were juniors, we had a QB who was capable of making big plays in big moments, and our defense was 2 deep with nasty players.

LSU isn't far off. If we had a veteran OL, defense, and a QB capable of consistency, with polished WRs to throw to, then we win that game easily. Our team is learning a lot this year and with another year in this offense while adding some more polished WRs, it should be more dynamic, and the defense will be much better overall with a true NT or two to go with our front seven. Add Surtain/Cooks playing with Delpit and Stevens with Greedy in the secondary, with the linebackers and DL we have coming back and adding to, LSU should be a force in the coming years.

Building takes time and I'm convinced we have the right guy helping to build this roster up to championship material and we have the assistants to coach them at their individual positions. Like O said we are coming. Some of these LSU players really need to make a decision to stay their senior years if they truly want to be the class that helped LSU get back to the top of the SEC and nation. IMO that's worth the extra year of college ball, especially if they feel that they could use that extra year to mature, while getting their degree, shot at a championship season and then head on over to the NFL. This 2016 class will have to make that happen themselves and they absolutely can. GT

Living up to your name. Fricking idiot

Honestly there really aren't many great backs this year to even get excited about. I really think Curry is one of the best in the nation and him, Brossette, and CEH will do well next year. We need to worry about OL and WR the most this year. So too many impressive Louisiana WRs, I hope we can at least nab three. A combo of Marshall, Jason, and Keys would be the best.
