Kid is a monster.

I had no idea how good of a blocker he is too.

Also- shout out to Destrehan high for keeping that LSU pipeline strong.

John is 5’11” 206
Guice is 5’11” 222

Ty Davis is similar to Hill

Hill is 6’1” 230
Ty is 6’1 230


John has much more speed than Hill. Hills a much bigger back though

Yep and he really surprised me the first time I looked his highlights with how much power he runs with. He's fast as well so I see what everyone likes about him.

I still like Davis a whole lot also. I'm really excited about our last 3 classes. If we can close out with some top 30 or so DLman and a top 20 rush end or OLB then this class will be a huge success. If not then it'll be a red mark on it. We need lineman badly.

It really blows my mind how we can't get those top end DLman with all the rest of the talent we have coming and on this team. It makes zero sense to me. I would be all over the country on a tear looking for the best DLman I could get. Gotta get yourself out there and spend some real time out there getting info. Z

Looks like our days without a home rub threat in the backfield were short lived.

Skill set is like zeke. Probably gonna play at 215 or so. He’s got the jump cuts like zeke. He’s different from hill.

Emery runs a hell of a lot tougher than you would think for being a back with the kind of speed he has. Kid is going to be a star.

His first step and cut speed is elite.

Yeah, I've been saying for a while that Emery reminds me a lot of Guice in body type and skill and Davis is extremely similar to Hill.

When you watch Emery what impresses me is his vision and ability to cut without losing acceleration. He's next level good at both. I can see Emery making the quickest impact of the two for those reasons, but Davis will be very successful as well.

Very happy with the two backs we he committed. It looks like UGA might be getting Sanders and leaving Bama empty handed.

Destrehan runs screen plays better than we do. Yikes.

Remember when a couple of fools were saying he didn't have elite speed? Oh, I member.

Emery reminds me of D'Andre Swift from UGA. They have an identical running style.

He doesn't. He has elite quickness and acceleration but he is not going to be running the 60m indoor like donte jackson be realistic.

Swift is a good comparison based on the video I have seen. I was also thinking he looks a lot like TJ Yeldon.

He’s obviously not Donte Jackson fast. I don’t know a running back that is.

With that said- John ran a laser timed 4.42 40

That’s elite imo.
