I've looked through all the Fournette ESPN threads and I didn't see this video posted anywhere. When asked about what schools he's considering, he says he hasn't decided on a top 5 or top 10 and he's wide open right now. He also says he feels "no pressure" to stay close to home.

Is this legitimate or is he just telling ESPN what they want to hear so they can hype up his announcement? I think I know the answer. This just struck me as an odd interview.

ESPN is shameless with this type of thing though. I remember for Landon Collins announcement it said considering: Alabama, LSU, Texas, and Tennessee I think. They will do anything to keep a fanbase interested. At the bottom of the screen it said Fournette was considering Notre Dame. Now some casual Notre Dame fan who watched that crap probably thinks they have a shot at him.

I saw the interview with LF. ESPN didn't say anything, LF said exactly what you said. Definitely didn't feel any love for LSU from LF. Didn't feel any love for any team, but he seemed like he could go anywhere.

For some reason, I have a bad feeling about LF. I don't know why but I do. I hope I'm wrong.

That's funny because without even opening the link I almost replied "So let me guess ESPN has ND as his favorite?"

Fournette killed it at regionals today. Amazing to see a kid that size be so damn fast. Biggest "must get" recruit I can ever recall imo.

Y'all need to chill out with this crap. When it comes down to it actions speak a lot louder than words, like taking 5 visits to LSU since February. I doubt he'll come out and say who his leader is but we all know who it's going to end up being and who's gonna finish #2.

I think most of us believe he will be a Tiger. Let the kid have his moment!
