Sione Palelei is a guy who deserves an offer but I dont see getting one. Word on the street is nobody from the already loaded backfield of ours is leaving. This really only leaves one spot and thats for Fournette. A backup plan should always be in place but unfortunately for Sione he is a different all around back than Fournette. If we take two it will be to the likes of a big like Darius Williams ( who I see playing LB ) or Elijah McGuire ( 13' done with football but 14' grad I beleive)..

The two we take in 2015 are in Baton Rouge. Derrius Guice and Nick Brossette.

Hill will be draft eligible as a third year sophomore - three years removed from high school

Hilliard will be a JR
Terrance Magee will be a JR
Alfred Blue will be a SR
Ford and Ware will be SR if they return

Not sure where Brazil projects CB or WR with his speed

They will need more than Fournette due to risk of injury

We really need to take one this year. If hill explodes and leaves early the only 2 on the roster will be Hilliard and McGee

I doubt our coaches even waste time with Sony.

Fournette would set foot on campus for the 2014 season. By then, Ware, Ford and Blue are definitely gone. Possibility that Hill could be, too, with a strong 2013 season. That leaves Hilliard and Magee. Fournette would make three. Given how quickly injuries can deplete your RB corps, I'd like to have five on the depth chart, since you can't go sign someone off the street like in the NFL. If Hill leaves early, I'd like two more RBs to go with Fournette in the 2014 class.

Palelei has been offered. According to him and his Dad they want him as a change of pace, I guess as Gore was supposed to be. He's grown to 5'9 or 10 and now weighs 195. Benches 300 and squats 595, ran a 4.32 at the NUC Combine.
Boo is kinda favoring BYU where he has cousins playing, but, Mom and Dad love Louisiana and don't want to go back to Utah.
Him and his Dad have been to every home game this year.

Yeah, I was about to say that the two backs LSU gets in 2015 come from the two closest high schools to the campus. Some damn good luck there.

Watched Palelei run a 4:37 yesterday. Kid is getting bigger, too. I'd say 5'10, 195.
