I love CEH and the experience he'll bring, but Emery is in a different stratosphere talent-wise. Beastly upside with his vision, instincts, burst, elusiveness, and pass catching skills. Highest rated RB recruit here since Fournette.

Emery will pass CEH at some point, and I wouldn't be surprised if Tyrion Davis passes CEH as well.

This is very very possible. I expect him to be the leading rusher on this team by seasons end.

HOWEVER....the video you posted is him against incredibly inferior players. Just because he was a man amongst boys in high school doesn't mean you will see the same results when the defense has 11 players who are similar to him in size, speed and athleticism.

Emery is going to get a good share of snaps early, his talent is undeniable and demands it. However he’s still going to be behind the older guys at least at first. Emery will probably take on a more prominent role as the season progresses but Lanard Fournette and CEH won’t go down quietly. We all know what CEH can do but Lanard Fournette could be one of the biggest surprises this year. Last season he proved that he is a punishing power runner who also has great hands out of the backfield. Being able to catch the ball will be very beneficial for Joe Brady’s offense.

He is already projected by some to win the Heisman before he leaves LSU!

I like Emery. I think he’ll be very good for LSU.

BUT

That jump cut on the swing screen gets eaten up for a loss or no gain 99 times out of 100 against SEC opponents. Just like most other players, it will take time for him to adjust to the speed of the SEC.

ETA: Not going to comment on the way he drags dudes there. It shows he has power, but that isn’t happening at the college level.

Does this mean Chris Curry leaves?

CEH holds him off until the Florida game... then, Emory takes over and puts the country on notice.

Don't sleep on CEH, he had that killer instinct.

CEH has done well for us and his high school film also looked absurd. Emery definitely has a different level of speed though. No need to knock one, they will both play a bunch of snaps.

He is REALLY good imho. I predict that we will see him making an impact. However, I still see CEH being the go to back, at least for the first 3 or 4 games of this season.

Ask a friend of mine that is close to the program what he is hearing out of summer workouts. He said the two freshman RB's are lighting it up. That is all I got but it agrees with what you said in OP

......well I sure hope he's faster than CEH. LSU needs a big fast RB who can kick in that afterburner and pull away from speedy DB.....you know Leonard Fournette style.

A lot of people will consider you nuts or at least turn down what you're saying, but Emery will take over sooner than later.

It happened with Fournette, would have happened with Guice if Fournette wasn't the one in front of him. CEH isn't on the level of those guys and neither is Lanard. Emery is a complete back similar to Swift of UGA and will be starting by Vandy. I expect him to have his breakout game vs Texas.

CEH will be a good scatback in a Sproles role but Davis and emery are both considerably better all around running backs.
