I'll take Leonard as well but it's closer than most would admit. Scarborough is a monster and faster than Leonard.

Adam Taylor doesn't have an issue with LSU's current depth chart. RBs these days aren't overly concerned with the depth chart. Obviously Fournette isn't seeing as though he's very high on Bama and their depth chart is going to b e more loaded than ours when he touches campus.

If we choose to put all of our eggs in the Fournette basket, we deserve whatever happens from there, either good or bad. 1 kid isn't that big a differencemaker. What happens if he ruptures an achilles or gets a Bo Jackson type injury? Is one kid worth mortgaging the future of a position for? Not to me. If he's as good as advertised, he'll compete and win the job, not have it handed to him. We don't want entitled pussies at LSU.

Are you really that delirious?

I see Scarbrough as a WR at the next level. His athleticism at WR would be much better than with him at RB

Is this like the guy who said CK would be the greatest LT in bama history before his first practice.

I don't know if that will come to fruition, but he did have the talent to push a Outland Trophy winner to another position. And it wasn't because we were devoid of talent at center.

I am in no way demeaning CK talent. It was another illustration. I'm just wondering why some Bama fans cannot just wait until players do something on the field before proclaiming them, "Adrian Peterson, but faster", etc unless just a troll effort.

Personally, I don't really care who is better out of bo and LF. They are both legit; i just hope lsu gets fournette.

I wasn't trying to make that comparison. I don't even really know where Bo Scarborough will play at Alabama. He's not done growing.

Bo is a monster. He is the greatest thing to come from Eutaw, Al. He will be the next Julio, mark it. He may be better than Julio if he has the consistent hands.

unless he get up to 6'5" he'll be a tailback at th next level. Hopefully he'll end up in the 6'2" 230 range because the kid runs like a deer. I'd take him over fournette just because of the homerun speed, but they are obviously the 2 best backs in next years class...hopefully they both end up in tuscaloosa

Fournette reminds me a little bit of maybe Kevin Faulk




Faulk was listed as 5'8'-5'9", LF is 6'-6'2"

Well he has a couple guys in his family on both sides that are 6'5". His dad is only about 6'0". He has an uncle that is about 6'2"
