My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter

For some reason, Shorter has fallen off the radar a bit, although apparently he was at the camp yesterday and everyone that I've seen says he already have an LSU offer. His highlights look great to me with plenty of speed, that "run to daylight" attribute, shifty, intelligent on when to cutback, great balance, somehow escapes when he is surrounded or pinned in, etc.
Right now, LSU isn't listed in his top 2 or so, but once again, he camped yesterday at LSU. The services like the guy better than say a Darrell Williams. Anyway of the prospects possible IMO for LSU to get for their other RB besides Fournette, give me K Shorter, and get Fournette and I would rate the LSU RB recruiting an A+.
OK, OK, I admit if LSU gets Fournette, it would be an A+ anyway!

Correct, that is supposed to be who he is down to but he was reported to be at the LSU camp. To me, that pretty much shuffles those "favorites" up quite a bit IF LSU pushes for the guy. IF LSU pushes for him, my guess is they get him. LSU has been on the guy quite a while and his offers are flat out great!

Holey shite, I never knew at one point we were his leaders.

Yea it was reported that he wanted to commit to LSU at an earlier visit but he couldn't commit...

He still can't. He was competing yesterday for an offer, but none were extended to RBs.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that but this is beginning to sound a little like the Taylor deal from last year but Shorter IMO is better than Taylor was. IMO, LSU is playing a little too hard to get on RBs and quite frankly it is pissing me off! 2012 - 0 RBs signed 2013 - 0 RBs signed 2014 - 0 RBs committed and yes I have heard of Leonard Fournette.
To the LSU coaching staff, please get off your arses and get ANOTHER RB committed. Geez, it isn't rocket science...it really isn't. They should have accepted Shorter's commit before if they turned it down!

How could you possibly know more about recruiting or about what needs to be done with the RB situation than the LSU coaching staff?
Posted on 7/16/13 at 10:30 am to jamal
who isn't but 1 RB in 3 years is a little bit under the fishing limit I believe. What happens if God forbid an injury occurs? And shifting someone to RB who hasn't played it or may not physically be able to hold up or take the punishment is pretty stupid IMO. Shorter IMO is better than Williams from what I've seen. Of course, LSU doesn't seem to offer any RBs ever but guys they have no chance for like Hurd (other than Fournette of course).

I mean if Shorter is willing to wants in even though LF is in,then WTH I say you let him in.

Not just me...several on here said they should have taken Taylor or SOMEONE last year at RB. I can't remember a major college program that runs a decent amount to have passed on RBs 2 years in a row. And once again, yes I've heard of Leonard Fournette. Everyone is talking about taking 2 RBs this year on every comment I've seen anywhere who is the 2nd RB even if Founette commits. Most of the RBs are already off the board committed to other teams.

Yeah, and look at 3 things:]
1) Where they are ranked by the services
2) Their rather skimpy list of offers
3) Neither has an offer from LSU
IMO, Shorter is the class of the field of potential LSU signees at RB NOT named Leonard Fournette. To not push for the guy or accept his commit is downright
