Curious as to who everyone would prefer. It’s unlikley we would get 3 of the top RB’s in the nation, but likely we will get 2 of them. I know Emery as of late has been high on Miss. St. and Lsu has made a big surge for Cain. I think there exactly the same in terms of talent. Who would y’all prefer in this class?

Emery is the better back IMO. Emery and Davis in the same class would be ridiculous. Davis is vastly underrated.

That's tough. I think Emery has a bit of an edge, but I think Cain would be better at LSU than Emery at MSU. If that makes sense.

I don't care as long as they get one of the two.

Some discount Davis, but I think he'll be the real star. But I don't think Emery and Cain are very similar. Too me, Emery is more the home run hitter, the shifty, scatback type guy where Cain is more all-around back who can go wide or inside, like Davis.

Davis and Cain would be Thunder and Thunder where Davis and Emery might be Thunder and Lightening.

That said, it looks more and more like Emery would rather be the guy at MSU than one of the guys at LSU. Makes no sense to me as more and more the NFL likes guys not all used up in college. But Cain is flirting with Texas and Ohio State.

As long as we get one of the two. I'm not overly excited about the Plan B guys like Barlow, Carter, Spivery, or any of the others.

It's Davis and Cain or Emery or bust.

Emery vs. Cain ? I want the kid who plans on winning a NC at LSU, and dreamed about carrying the rock in TS on Saturday nights. Not someone who is on the fence and not 100 % committed to being a Tiger for life. Each recruit has the opportunity to be the next Kevin Faulk or Travis Etienne.

Call me crazy, but the first time I saw Cain, his highlights and running style reminded me of Le’Veon Bell.

And if you recall, Bell ran a 4.60 at the combine so while Cain is not an elite speed merchant like Emery, there’s something to be said for back that “only” possesses vision/balance/break-tackle ability/change-of-direction.
