John Emery Jr. LA's top RB prospect for the '18 class

These are his comments about what he's looking for in a school
Personally I'll pass on a kid like this because usually they don't pan out anyway. I know it's supposed to be on the recruiting board but I can't post on there so dwi.

I don’t want to be Derrius Guice when Fournette was playing. I plan on starting and that’s the goal I have set up. I plan on starting when I go to college and doing big things. I don’t plan on being No. 2 or being a part of a duo. However, I’ll play my part, but my goal is eventually to be No. 1 for sure.”

Wait he wants to be the number 1 and get all the carries but you don’t want to be beat up and worn down . Kid wtf... I’ll sacrifice losing Emery if it means we get Cain, Tyrion and someone else .
Guess he wants to be Marcus Lattimore. That dude had an amazing future ahead of him but South Carolina rode him like a prized race horse and a couple gruesome leg shots ended his career .

That's not a bama lock. Satan ain't changing his system for him.
That's the kind of guy who buys what Ole Miss is selling.

My advice is don’t hang on every word a recruit says. You’ll live a happier life.

You think this is the first player Saban has come across that thinks he’s entitled?

I'd take all 3, an unlikely scenario.
I believe Emery wants to be on a team with depth at RB, with he being the alpha, that would mean he would not get worn out/injured, heading to the NFL.
Maybe that's what he should have said, young people!!

Good luck with that fella...

I like his determine to want to be the #1 back, but sharing the rock is going to be a huge role. Especially as a freshman.

Sounds like its kansas to me.

conflicting goals... I'll pass. I think he will end up settling on a place that is a face saver. It was my opinion from other things I have read that he wants to get out of state.

Doesn't make sense. You don't want to be worn out in college, yet you don't want to share the ball. Contradictory statements. Guice is going to probably be a stud in the NFL soon and a multi millionaire. Not a bad thing at all.

He should go to Vanderbilt. He'll be the no. 1 back and he won't get all beat up because an offensive drive will only consist of 3 plays followed by a punt. The offense will spend 3/4 of the time on the sidelines.

I wouldn't want a recruit that wanted to be a backup!
Posted on 4/1/18 at 7:20 pm to sunnydaze
This kid needs to shut his damn mouth and prove that he’s worth a shite outside of high ball before he makes demands like this. Will be in juco after 1 year

I read this as 'goals', not 'selection process'.
However, if this is a big part of deciding where he is going, and I admit it could be interpreted that way, then there are issues. IF he's saying he wants to be the only back signed in a year, there are issues.
The line about not getting beat up sandwiched between those two statements is befuddling. RBs everywhere get beat up; Especially in the SEC. His durability is something WE consider, not something HE can avoid.
If he wants to be the 'featured back' AND it is his GOAL to earn it... I'm in. (and that's how I'm interpret this).
NOTE: author did quote him, so I'm assuming penmanship or miscommunication is not an issue here

Think it's pretty clear he doesn't want to go to LSU, and he's just creating criteria that LSU can't satisfy, instead of coming out and just saying he doesn't want to be here.

Well at least he didn’t mention championships.
Posted on 4/1/18 at 7:33 pm to Moonlight
Nope, he says he wants to go pro. Kansas is out....
Posted on 4/1/18 at 7:34 pm to sunnydaze
I'll take Cain and Davis in a HEARTBEAT. Emery can go to Kansas and be the feature back.
