re: Running Back depth after this year

Remember reading a while back that if Joiner grew anymore they'd consider him at H back/F in this offense? Any truth to that? at this point, we need the depth at RB, not HB

I am not worried about running back depth. We get a good one this year and that will be plenty. RB's are one of the few position that freshman can contribute. We good!

Dalton Hilliard and Gary James - both Freshman and ran a ton for LSU in '82.

Fournette will be a junior or redshirt soph next year. Not sure which. Curry and Provens will be freshmen. That's enough to bridge the gap until 2019 although I hope they go after Anthony Williams too this year.

Devin White, Offense & Defense.

Spoke to Joiner and his father at the game. Told him we really needed him but didn't press him for a decision. Believe it's LSU or Auburn.

Emmons would be a better choice than Joiner if we are going to sign 3 backs this cycle.
Should be able to start immediately next season or at least split carries.

Brossette has just been sitting behind two great and one very very good tailbacks the last few years.
And yet has not shined when givin his opportunities. Brosette is too slow for the SEC.

I don't completely disagree with you, but I see more hesitancy than lack of speed or burst. Hopefully, he'll be faster with more reps and playing time. However, you might be correct, and he may never see much playing time.

I mean...Yeah, this is true, but there's a pretty big difference between being "D1" good in high school and being "Louisiana's all time leading rusher" good, don't ya think?

Considering the high school Brosette went to and the players they recruit vs who they play no it doesn't necessarily translate to the SEC.

I like Provens. Natural runner, good speed, and makes sharp cuts. Good vision too.
Posted on 10/18/17 at 10:26 pm to Howyouluhdat
Curry, Brossette, Edwards-Helaire, Fournette, Provens
Short Yardage Back...Tory Carter
Devin White is in the stable too

Devin White is NOT in the stable. He's an elite linebacker and needs to stay there.
Brossette may not stick around if we get Provens, Curry and Joiner.

I think O is going to make this happen - I think he's relaxed about it, even. He's worried about linemen, particularly OLinemen - there aren't enough available - that's the problem, so we literally have to take almost anyone who will come who could possibly play in the conference.
And do that again in 2019.

Trey Quinn was Louisiana's all time leading receiver, and he could not crack the top four at LSU.

If this is true, Grimes needs to go. Either way Grimes needs to go.

It's stuff like that especially bothers me about having no choice but to take anyone we can. And yeah, we're kind of in that situation.
And worth noting, we better have a better technicals/fundamentals position coach if we're taking these projects. Let Robinson coordinate the run game, and let Canada decide protection schemes and go get someone who can teach 'raw' OL how to block at this level AND will ride that arse about weightroom/classroom.
