You left one thing out. DEPTH CHART. He is basically an instant #2 @ bama right behind ingram. At LSU he would start out as like #5 and that's if you give him the nod over Ford.


Yeah I feel you on that one. If I were TR i would definitely go to Bama. Just like in the Debose situation I felt Florida was a better fit. Noe I dont know of other RBs at Bama but I am almost sure he wont be an instant 2. He will have to compete. Thats at any university.

LSU has signed larger RB classes than this one. And we play more Rbs than Bama. I give it a 20% chance he signs with LSU.

everyone has a better shot now. Trent just got back from his trip to Florida and was asked to rate his trip on a scale from 1-10...his reply:

"About a 10"

...which woulnd't be a big deal if he didn't say this about Bama when asked the same thing:

"It was about an eight."

I think this guy is wide open now and we're in good shape because:

1.We have his last visit
2.We just lost Pratt
3.He and RS have become good friends

The loss of Lance Thompson at Bama helps all schools but those 3 are unique for us.

I cant say he is automattically ahead of both upchurch and grant...Grant had a solid Frshman year and could easily be ahead of him at Bama if you think Murphy is ahead of him at LSU

LSU probably has no shot at Richardson. He's been to 'Bama several times and is friends with all the incoming guys and several current teammates. Florida would be #2 behind 'Bama. Dreaux is having a happy dream at your expense.

That "Let me upgrade you" commercial is simultaneously the most annoying yet titillating commercial ever made.

She's gorgeous, but that jingle sucks donkey d*ck.

Grant was a Sr this year I think...Upchurch and Ingram will be getting the carries...IMO that TR ends up in FL or LSU...in the end it will be hard to get him away from CUM and his home state I think!

Grant will be back, but he won't be in the tailback rotation. He'll be special teams and maybe a receiver out of the slot. Richardson will have to compete with Upchurch and Ingram, and could very well be #1 or #2, much like Ingram displaced Grant last season. We have a kid named Griffin that played some last season who looks just like Coffee did. Pounds it between the tackles. Mike Marrow from Michigan will be in the mix too, but probably a Fullback.

That was a borderline, Ace Midnight-length post.
