This may be one of the dumbest questions I've ever seen on this board. And that's saying something.

This is the best player in the country. We did not recruit a rb last year for him. He is college ready. Leonard wants the Heisman his freshmen year, and Leonard Fournette takes what he wants.

is it smarter to keep some tread on his tires til after Hill leaves?



I don't think some of you realize how good LF actually is. That's cool, BUGA definitely going to get his. Do yourself a favor and watch this.

You frickers are hilarious...

Jeremy Hill is #2 all time rushing yards in a season... with 1423

Jeremy Hill is #3 all time rushing TDs in a season with 16

Jeremy Hill is #1 yards per rush in a season with 6.9

Jeremy Hill had less attempts then everyone in the Top 10...

Jermey Hill is #2 in rushing yards per game in a season with 116.8

Jeremy Hill is tied for #4 all time with 6 100-yard games in a season...


And you think Fournette will overtake him... you guys are certainly on crack

If Hill leaves... I get it... but if Hill stays Fournette will have a quiet Frosh season... if not a redshirt

When he committed he said he will be a Tiger for the next 3 years so why would we waste one of those on a Red Shirt?

Hill and LF will both get a ton of carries. Hell I bet LF taking a lot of Hills load is a reason he's coming back

Fournette's not going to take an RS and the jokes on you if you haven't seen how talented he is. Especially in an offense that needs playmakers for the '14 campaign.

First off...no one said he would overtake him, just that he would get plenty of carries you dunce

Secondly, if you already have admitted that LF will possibly/probably only be here 3 years, what the hell difference does it make if he redshirts or if he doesnt this year? Why would you take his ability away to contribute for no reason?

Thirdly, FOURNETTE ISNT frickING REDSHIRTING

So if Bo Jackson showed up on the roster next year, he wouldn't jump Hill?

None of us are taking anything away from Hill. The kid is one of the best ever at RB at LSU.

LF is a once in a decade kind of player though.

To be clear, I expect Hill to be the 'starter' for most of the year, but the reality is I expect Hill and LF to split carries almost equally with the hot hand getting fed the most on a game to game basis.

If Hill is getting 15+ carries and Macgee getting 5-7 carries... that doesn't seem to leave a lot for Fournette...

With the way players are declaring these days. Why redshirt anyone besides Qbs and kickers? They redshirted Brockers and he left after his Sophomore season.

Hill and Fournette would split

Magee has been great but he would see sparing snaps because he is not on the same stratosphere of talent of those two

It is spelled Magee.

And TM will not get 5-7 carries next year. He will get more like 3.

2 new starting WRs and an inexperienced QB. Probably going to be a lot of short passes and heavy doses of the running game.

Hillard is the odd man out in all of this [Unless he takes snaps at FB]

And Magee will probably end up on an NFL team getting on a few carries a game next year. With Hill and LF, we have arguably the best 1-2 RB combo ever. The best I can remember are Cadillac and Ronnie Brown and Felix and McFadden.

I've seen some stupid shite on this board, but the rant's inability to grasp the concept of splitting carries between two stud RBs is up there

JennSwag + Probation Boy + Buganation + Alabama Tommy Banks in the same backfield at the same time = The 2014 "Tiger Flexbone Veer" Triple Option.

I just can't see saying this until Fournette proves it... there have been plenty of 5 star running backs who haven't lived up to the hype. I'm not saying Fournette is one of them, but I think a lot of you guys are drinking the Koolaid before he even takes a run against a good front 7.

Ok... asking if he'd take a Redshirt was probably dumb, but acting as if he'll have a huge impact next year with Hill, Magee............... and Hilliard (the odd man out) is making a huge assumption, especially with Miles loving upper classmen (isn't this still a thing with Miles)
