anyone know who the other 8 are?
I know for fact Russell Shepherd and Fournette are on there.
Going to guess - Valentine/Stingley/Claiborne/Peterson/Dupree?

Without looking my guess at the 8 is: Stingley, Fournette, Russell Shepard, Davon Godchaux, Anthony Johnson, Reuben Randle, Terrance Toliver, and Harlem Berry.

Freak Johnson the DLman? Or are you thinking of JC Copeland


Yeah I’m pretty sure the guy you replied to has Freak mixed up with JC Copeland

JC was a DL recruit technically I believe. I think listed as a DE on some sites IIRC

Arik was awesome. Except he was a total headcase. Complete waste of physical talent.


I’m genuinely curious what happened in his life that changed. Him picking LSU was insane in the first place, because people didn’t even realize they were in legitimate consideration, but he apparently didn’t even tell his mom what school he was going to pick before announcing. A lot of people said he was a great kid, and he was close to Ojulari who was a really mature guy.

The first rumor was he smoked some bad drugs and stepped away from the team after that, but he apparently had a GPA that started with a 1 and seemed to be a complete disaster every way off the field.

JC Copeland was one of the Tigers I'd least want to be run over by, just a beast of a FB.

Who was the FB we had that went on to fight UFC? Something Jordan?

Schizophrenia manifested is the strong rumor, which is somewhat common at that age for males so it fits/works.
