I completely agree that 3 elite backs is about where you would like to be with injuries and all. Now keeping the depth behind them from transferring will be the issue or nonissue depending on how the staff see’s if but I’m sure they would prefer to have them all stay. Curry, Fournette and CEH. I think all will be solid but nothing like the other 3. I honestly want to see more of Fournette this year though because I think he’s going to be a very good back for LSU. You can just see that he sees the field well and runs with some passion.
Talent alone the two Freshman have him but I think he’s the next best back we have on the team even though CEH performed well last year. Fournette started to show himself toward the end of the year. He’s great out of the backfield and I think LSU should use him like the saints do with Kamara. I think he will surprise people given the chance. I would bring the freshman on slower this year and let them see the field and learn to set up their blocks, learn how to block on 3rd downs or PA plays then slowly bring them in more and more. Use the other 3 for the first 5 games mostly then let the freshman get some time also and when we have a blowout type of game.
Then if they earn more time in those instances, you give them more carries. To me Fournette has earned his carries and he should be the starter come the first game. Then if he’s not on I would quickly go to the next guy maybe one of the freshman with Curry and CEH given them spells. But to me Fournette is more talented then people want to give him credit for. Simply because he was seen as someone who was just given a scholarship bc of his name. I think he wants to prove that to be false and make his own money at the next level. I believe he can and will also.
The others will have plenty of time to get theirs. Seeing a guy like Fournette scoring TD’s shouldn’t bother them one bit. As long as they get their touches. Keep them fresh for their 2nd and 3rd years. Then let them bust it wide open in that 3rd season. Hey as long as the offense is scoring points I actually don’t care who touches the ball. I would just like to see what he does with his opportunities. GT

LSU running backs 2019:
Clyde Edwards-Helaire is so underrated by this board. So what he was a local 3 star. He had a very good season last year. He took a large step forward from his freshman season. It is obvious he works hard at his craft. It is more than realistic that he will take another step forward his junior year.
Unless one of the freshmen comes in and is head and shoulders the best back on the team, Clyde is the starter next year and it isn't close.
Next season I would expect CEH, Emery, and Ty Davis to receive a pretty even share of the carries- assuming the freshman are as advertised.
I think we've seen what Lanard has to offer. He's a reliable backup and will once again fill that role next season.
Tough/too early to make any prediction on Curry. He is still only entering his 2nd season. As another poster stated, he appeared to have some bad luck on his limited carries last year. I could see his career arc looking something like that of Darrel Williams. And that would be great in my opinion.
Imagining adding Evans to the rotation in 2020 is exciting and all, but it's also an exercise in futility until he's actually on the team.
Of course we would be thrilled to sign him.
