With all the (much deserved) fanfare around Leonard Fournette which former LSU player and superstar recruit best lived up to the hype?

Can be any sport but I was specifically thinking about football.

PP7?
Kevin Faulk?

What says the rant.....

EPA

When I said I hyped, what I mean was 5 star blue chip, second coming of the greatest all time, would not consider TM7 to be hyped coming that wasn't until he got here.

Examples of "hype" would be JR, KF, PP7, Russell Shepard, Freak Johnson, etc....

Depends on what you mean by hype.

Les and staff were hyping up TM7 heading into 2010 a good bit and he greatly exceeded expectations.

If you're talking about big named guys out of HS, Patrick Peterson for sure lived up to the hype.

Peterson was really hyped and still went beyond expectations. It's hard not say he's top 3 greatest all time LSU players.

Kevin Faulk. First time you saw him carry, you knew something special was on display. All time/all-purpose yds leader in sec history. Surpassed by Tebow. First team all-american. 2nd most rushing yds behind Herschel.
