Anything on Magee? What type of player will he be at LSU? He is listed as an ATH but i'm sure he is a RB.

Ware- looks like he's got an SEC body already. I know he's not quite as fast as the others but he's awefully quick. I'm pretty sure we'll use him a lot after this year and I know he's a good receiver out of the backfield.

Ford- I think he'll be good but it looks to me like he needs to get stronger. He may end up being the most dynamic of them all.

I haven't seen enough of anyone else. I think Blue has decent size but smaller than Ware and doesn't look as fast as Ford.

Ford is one of the strongest players on the team - do you mean run stronger?

Ford hasn't really done that much. He's had a few nice runs, but nothing Ridley wasn't already doing.

Ware is pretty electric looking out there. Great burst of speed, very good hands, good moves. I think he's going to be a better all around back than Ford.

Ford and Ware.

Will be interesting to see Blue as the change of pace guy, but Ford and Ware I think are going to be the next two workhorses.

gotta love LSU, not matter who's running the show, we always seem to produce decent running backs as of late.

Hard to tell since they few touches. However with that being said Ford and Ware from the little I have seen of them.

I like Ware a lot, but you never know with this staff.

I see them letting Hilliard run the ball 45 times a game at 276 lbs though. I'm convinced that Miles would have made Herman Johnson our running back if he would have recruited him.

What we know about Spencer Ware is that he has great hands and he has shown that he is a willing and very capable blocker. He lines up at fullback frequently to be the lead blocker on toss sweeps to the outside, and on passing plays to stay in and protect. Based on this I think he might be the best overall back of the freshmen right now on the roster, but I really haven't seen him run the ball enough to be certain.

LOL at this

Any backs that might switch to a slot reciever type role?

ware would be the best


Can't stop LMFAO at this. You don't move a 225lb 5 star RB to the slot because he caught a couple passes. If anyone moves to slot it's Gore.

Blue and the reason why is I think he had the chance to live up to the one cut, slash, type of back we all hoped Richard Murphy would.

I think they are going to have to redshirt these guys, we cant even get the ones we have now enough touches...and if we were to redshirt we would be set at RB for the next 4 years...

I think at least one of them wont come....were loaded with young RB talent...

I think Ford will be a great back...Ware will be moved to flanker as sheps back up...If we were to run the wildtiger i could see shep and ware run that together..(would be nice)

Blue . . . but just because I like hollering "You're my boy Blue!!!" when he runs.

We should have red-shirted either Ware, Ford or Blue.

we don't need 3 backup freshman RBs
