Ford to me is nasty. Why people so quick to move him to LB but when you say Berry may be a better WR, they flip their shite lol?

Ford’s balance is just really good for how hard he runs. He gets hit, but is like a cat-like. He’ll lean into it, or catch himself to prevent him from falling. I like him a lot.


Ford is for sure a hard runner with great balance. He just didn't stick out to me as anything special. I'll have to give him another watch.

I'm extremely interested to see where Sheppard goes. He might be a guy that lsu will try to get back in the portal. That family seems like they have a chip on their shoulder in a good way.

If you're lsu and pass on me, then don't come around again

I think people are over thinking Ford. I know you have a good dawg meter, chalky. A big part of RB is mindset. Isn’t the object not to get tackled? Idk, he kinda makes it hard.

This is interesting.

Power is clearly there. I was someone worried about him hitting the edge with speed watching his hudl.

Shite is hard to see sometimes on a phone. Checking him our more.

I'm high on parker too. We will have to see if Lindsay proves some doubters wrong. He does run high and has to learn some of the intricacies of playing rb

I think it’s funny you penalize Berry for his lack of size but list Sheppard ahead of him despite being smaller than Berry.

Lindsey can and probably will move up. It’s like they hand him the ball & just tell him to run. Carries the ball like a load of bread too. He just seems a bit green but is the best athlete on the field most nights.

But also see pictures of him and say damn, that’s Tre White / Donte Jackson/ morris Claiborne potentially

Look at these poor kids. And he routinely keeps his balance on hits like that

Probably a combination of a few things. There are so many 2025 running backs, and Leesville is off the beaten path.

Levander Liggins is the first player from Leesville that comes to mind for me. There were a few years when I didn’t.keep up with recruiting.

The top back is Berry and it's not close. He's the modern day RB for the NFL. He'll get to 200 at LSU and will be a dual threat at the position.

I like Ford and Simon too. However, LSU has its two.

If Berry ran with Sheppard's aggressiveness, he'd average 20ypc

He isn't smaller than Berry, unless he is sub- 182lbs.

Bush figured it out with the Dolphins, and you saw the results.
This is where you lose your cred. 05 Bush had 237 touches. 2218 yards at 9.4 per touch. 18 td's. If that is what you're comparing Berry to and that isn't good enough. Maybe you should change sports.

Also, Jackson and Durham will still be on the team. In today's college football world, it's hard to keep that much quality on the same team.

Edit: I think Durham will be better than all of them. Dude has Cecil Collins vibes.

I was talking about Reggie Bush as a pro, once this issue with his running style really started to compound itself.


Reggie Bush as a high school SR was on a totally different level than Berry as a RB. Im not really looking to compare them past what I mentioned.

So basically your assessment of Berry is that you feel he doesn't run north/south....therefore you are putting him 4th on the list because of this.

Wait I also forgot the most important part.....he can't develop any of what you are saying because of the competition he plays.

I appreciate the time you spent on this buddy.




You could have at least put an asterisk on the rankings and shown your work from Odell.

Bush played on a much better team in HS with more talent. The more talent around you, the better you look. Bush averaged 12.7 yards per carry as a senior. Berry over 13. BTW, LSU is a college team. I care what Berry does at LSU.

Ranking Berry is a complete troll to try and get clicks and conversation. Everyone would be better off just to stop reading

Chad Elzy Jr. is a personal favorite.

About 37 seconds in, he breaks an incredible KO return vs. Opelousas Catholic. The next play is even better.
