None, with the possible addition of Fournette. There's a reason only legends are added. Keep it exclusive. Heisman or three time All American is the criteria. Don't cheapen it.

Glenn Dorsey and Patrick Peterson

As of right now.

Adding below that level waters down the list.

see the baseball HoF

There are only 2 other that could be on the list Doc Fenton who did not play at Tiger Stadium and Gaynell Tinsley who played in the middle 1930's.

The 2 closest to the list Charles Alexander and Bert Jones.

The one if he played a third year that would have be on the list Tyrann Mathieu, maybe the best defender ever seen in college football.

The forgotten one Michael Brooks. Michael is still one of the best to play at LSU.


As always I never include players that are on the current team.

Saban


Brings up an interesting question...

How long do y'all see it taking for Saban to accept an invitation from LSU to be honored at half-time along with members of the 2003 NC team?

I think there has to be some objective criteria for adding names. I can tell you why Casanova (three-time All-American) and Cannon (Heisman) are up there. Some of the names I read are just sentimental picks. Great players all of them and some of my favorite timers ever, but the problem is that once you open that door it's a slippery slope to having 20 names up there, which just takes the prestige out of it.

Nick Saban field at Tiger Stadium. Haven't really kept up with him after he left for Miami but the Man won a national title. He deserves it.

Glenn Dorsey should absolutely have his name up there.

2-time All-American 1st team. Won every individual defensive award imaginable his senior season. Won SEC and national titles.

Stayed for his senior season. He was going to be a 1st-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft before an injury during his junior season. Pretty sure he's an LSU grad. Homegrown guy from right down the road. Lengthy NFL career. He checks every box.

Dorsey recovered a fumble on his first ever snap as an LSU Tiger.

Put him up there.





On top of all of that, he bought a brand new Rolls Royce and drove it to Bogies on more than one occasion. That alone should get his name put up.

Steve Van Buren, Y.A. Tittle, Jimmy Taylor. If you win the Heisman (Cannon) or make it to the pro football hall of fame, that should be automatic.

They'll name one of the grass parking lots after Miles, for obvious reasons.

And the student athlete study hall can be renamed Mad Hatter Hall.
