He grew 2 inches and put on 30 lbs of muscle in a little over a year. EA's Strength Program is really good, but Boo has a Personal Trainer that works him really hard, too. Kid has no other hobbies. Also, they swear by horse meat.

This kids film is exceptional. He totally looks the part. He will do great things before he leaves Baton Rouge. He is a Darren Sprowles Reggie Bush type back.

Of course, Fournette is the perfect back in any scheme. His 40 is probably the same as Palelei. His ball skills are the same. Fournette is just a freak.


IDK Sione looks like he has no trouble catching the ball. While LF had some trouble at camp.

Perfect fit for cameron and perfect back to spell LF. We got a good one here.

Fournette gets used as a receiver by St. Aug. Look at his highlight reel. He can catch the ball.

Maybe he just had a bad day at camp because he can catch it.

Lf's highlight tape has a lot of receptions in it. He will be fine

Not so fast my friend.
Watch some Hoosier film from '99,-'01.
Randle El didn't amass nearly 4000 rushing yards from sneaks and draws.
That power toss is used by quite a few OCs also for it's ability to freeze end man out of respect for sweep.

Paleli should be a very solid contributor for the Tigers, perhaps at both special teams and running back.

Regarding LF: I'm sure he will make plenty of receptions, probably at the very least catch some screen passes.

He needs to have a few things he can work on improving. Also, can he throw a halfback pass--seems like he can do everything else at such an incredibly high level?

He's going to be good, having to practice against Beckwith(who absolutey loves his horses)..

I have liked both in state backs for a while. And when F Wilson went and visited both in the spring, I reported that and did follow ups w both guys. And then did another follow up on Palelei earlier this summer.

And he only worked out one day and that was Wednesday. So there was nothing to report on earlier than that. And from speaking to multiple folks, that morning workout on Wednesday was where the offer came. They didn't plan to pull the trigger until he ran 4.4s and showed great stuff in 1-on-1 workouts. Before that they were going to wait and see how guys looked their senior year as they kept recruiting Roc Thomas, etc

I like the pickup. One thing that y'all mentioned which is true is that he's not small. He's just short. He's really filled out now. I slept on him a bit. Should have been more aware of his talent over Williams.

This guy is a great example of scout site rankings not being gospel. Even if LF didn't exist, we would be pretty happy with this guy coming in as the top RB in this class.
