Having a debate with a buddy about which running back is better. If LSU could only take one, who would it be? I’ll hang up and listen.

Reminds me a lot of derrick henry

I think a year in the weight room would push him past 230 and he would just become this wrecking ball

I definitely want both though

Patrick Queen & Devin White had better RB film IMO.

Neither ... Baylor Grad Transfer Terence Williams and then load up on elite 2019 RB talent.

Most likely neither guy is a RB in college. One is too big the other is too small.

From Joiner’s tape it looks like he has great vision, lateral agility, and good acceleration, but overall speed just isn’t there.

Not a fan either but could see him as an elite H back, JD Moore type role

I know what you mean, Joiner just looks slow, doesn't have much agility, sort of a souped-up fullback or H-back. IDK if he looks slow because of his height or if the defenders are that fast. Eric Dickerson use to look slow on film too, but he was moving. It's a tough choice. But, wouldn't it be nice to go into Alabama and get a top player from Saban instead of the other way around (like it's been for a few years now). One thing stands out to me, Joiner really wants to be a Tiger, from what I've read. Williams, IDK. Personally, I'd rather have a player that wants to be with me than one I have to nearly force to be with me. Plus, there's some fast and quick players in this class the mold of Williams, not many big bone-crushers like Joiner. Joiner would make a really good H-back, good blocker and can run and catch. Probably would be more valuable all-around than Williams. I'd take Joiner.

I think LSU is more likely to end up with Pooka.

Pooka has a higher ceiling or could be a complete bust. Joiner has the measurables to play other positions. He looked really impressive in some drills at the opening.

Pooka could also be a great returner. Joiner would probably be good on ST’s coverage.

It depends on who is OC and what type of offense they run. Pooka would be lethal on jet sweeps. I just don’t know if Canada will be here to call them.

I agree. Queen’s tape was actually really good.

The kid runs nothing like Henry. The comparison stops at the fact that they're 6'3.

Joiner NEVER runs with any power.
