Running backs coach has to be an ace recruiter.

This was Faulk’s first year as a college coach and he signed two top 10 backs.

Jury is still out on his on-field coaching, but I’m sure he will grow into the position.

He’s got the recruiting down, though.

Position coaches don’t get all the recruits at their position. Coaches usually recruit areas.

True, but Faulk did land these two.

Also, you give Cregg a pass on OL recruiting?

Kinda being over blown

Wasn’t a strong RB year nationally

But who did LSU beat out for these guys? Cincy & Auburn

2 of the top 10 rb's in the country is not overblown. Faulk did well.

That’s a pretty old style of recruiting that I don’t think LSU uses very much at all

I like them


Goodwin is from Alabama, with no Bama offer

Kiner, from Ohio, didn’t have a commitable offer to Osu according to the Ohio St guys,


They scooped two solid backs but both over programs from a lower tier from LSU

None of that matters. Ohio State got the top RB in the country, so obviously that affects their other offers. Goodwin was an Auburn commit.

Neither did Joey B even though he also was Mr. Ohio in football. We know how that turned out

He had an "offer" from Bama, but I doubt he had an "offer offer"

Oh ok. I do not know shite about recruiting. But I recall conditional offers. His offer is only good if someone else falls through?

Usually. I'm not sure if Alabama is taking a running back at all this year, but if they do, it'll probably be Wheaton. But I think they'll be fine with just not taking one.

Roster management like you read about... hopefully they won’t be taking any offensive linemen next year so we can get more than 1

Goodwin's a legit big fish. Is he not?

Faulk did a great job bringing in these 2 kids.

He clearly put a premium on backs that fit LSU’s new offense.

He has my trust.
