Now we have a running back to go with our vaunted passing attack.

give me the top 5 backs in the draft this year.



Based off predictions for underclassmen who will declare; Ingram, Thomas, Murray, LeShoure, Clay, Royster.

I haven't found anyone even grading Ridley for the draft at this point.

I think the following are sure bets to go before Ridley:
Ingram (Bama)
Williams (Va Tech)
Murray (OU)
Thomas (K State)
Vereen (Cal)
LeShoure (Illinois)

I think the following will be picked around Ridley:

Devine (WVA)
Hunter (Ok State)
Royster (PSU)

I think Stevan goes in the 5-6 round.

That being said, I don't think coming back will do anything for him in terms of a 40 time. So he might as well save a year of wear and tear on his body.

I wish him the best and hope he tears up the Ags.

Well, I'd think that he'd be mentioned a bit more if he was the 3rd highest graded back in the draft like you're claiming.

So this dude straight up cheats his arse off in class and is eligible? This is great news for LSU football but come on NCAA. Between this, Cam Newton and Ohio St., the NCAA is getting ridiculous.

It's pretty much proven that the chance of a small back excelling in the NFL is 1 in a million and GM's know that.

I've seen no confirmation of what this was about and certainly nothing indicating he cheated. Where is your link?

That's a stupid question.

Hope that all the story will come out. Ridley did not need to cheat. Bet he was helping some others.
