re: BK on transfer portal

Weakest group of LSU RBs in decades.

I'm actually not concerned about Running Back. We have some depth there.

Where did I say they were not SEC quality? It's thought Emery will be leaving. LSU always has at least 1 elite RB on the roster. The running game has been one of the worst in decades the past 3 years. It's a need. Williams works hard and he runs hard but let's be real here, if your top guy is a former walk-on you probably have problems at the position. If JD was not playing that position's weakness would stick out like an even bigger sore thumb.

I'm not convinced Holly and Jackson are anything but solid contribution guys like a Darrell Williams type which is nothing wrong with that. Still need that killer instinct RB. They will turn up in the portal give it time.

Darrell Williams was a solid RB at LSU but he was never great. So yeah, they can be that type. A level like Hill, Faulk, Fournette, Guice, insert any big name RB at LSU probably not.

The run game would've been far more exposed this past season if you did not have JD playing QB where defenses were keying in on him during zone reads. That avg is deceptively high due to defenses worried about JD. Which goes back to my original point, it's a weakness position that shouldn't be a hard sell for a high end RB. You should never have to rely on freshman in any position.

Fournette and guice types will not be in the portal, considering they were 2 of the best rbs to ever be at Lsu. At best you get another body from the portal at rb. So unless Goodwin and emery are gone, there's no point.

The 2 kids coming in are highly touted, Kaleb just without the pub of former big name rb recruits. Kid is all of the weight he carries, and has clocked some unreal 100 times (as fast as jalen brown). Definitely agree none of the backs, besides Goodwin, have potential to be that elite rb of the ones returning, but the elite rb you want is just that, a want, not a need. And those name comparisons don't grow on trees

Just for conversation…which running back in this year’s cycle do you think will be a high end back ?

We could use a LB from Georgia. They can only keep so many 4 and 5* stars without playing them.
