4 Alfred Blue So.
11 Spencer Ware So.
42 Michael Ford So.
14 Terrence Magee Fr.
27 Kenny Hilliard Fr.

Two things I find absurd.
1: We have zero Junior or Senior RBs. How the frick do you let that happen as the head coach at LSU?
2: Holy crap, we have a bunch of freakin' awesome RBs that are extremely young an inexperienced.

Mike Ford is a RS Soph.

So he is a year ahead of all the others.

Ridley would've been a senior this year.

A testament to phenomenal recruiting that you can have this kind of stable of RBs at your disposal that are so young yet so talented.

Honestly, I would rather this kind of depth and fresh legs and ability to find the hot hand than dependence upon just one or two at most seasoned backs.

yes. we really don't need to recruit any RB's for 1-2 yrs. however, we can't just let other schools have them.

Not sure if serious, but that can't do anything but make the future of LSU look bright.

Are you really somehow making this a knock on Les Miles? Oh, GOD FORBID he assemble a beautiful stable of awesome running backs. It's his fault Ridley left early.

Stevan Ridley would have been a senior this year. One of the reasons he left was the emergence of Ware and the fact that he would probably be getting fewer carries this season than last.

It's incredible how talented these guys are and they're all so young. Should be interesting the next couple seasons how everything plays out and how long each one stays. Regardless we are stacked in the backfield.

Think we are only going after/signing 1 RB in the 2012 recruiting class from Crowley.. Hopefully Jeremy Hill isn't on the team, not needed and already have enough guys getting into trouble legally, internal issues don't need more drama

Did we have any RBs that would be juniors or seniors transfer?

BTW, I can't see any of the soph other than maybe Ware leaving after the junior year. How ridiculous will our RBs be in two years?

Yeah. That's one guy. That doesn't really explain having a two class gap. I find it hard to believe that we went two years and only recruited Ridley (left early) and Ford (RS).

I went and looked, and it is actually 2 guys over 3 years.

2007 - Ridley
2008 - 0 RBs
2009 - Ford

We are very lucky that we haven't had injury issues and that all of our RB recruits have panned out.

We signed a running back from Ga and another Taylor from Franklinton who are no longer on the the team.
