re: Why would any big name RB wanna come to LSU?

Until KW gets some vision, he's never going to be an every-down back at LSU.

Is it vision, or is he just a little too tentative for a back his size? I'm just not sure at times. He picks a good hole, frequently, and sometimes clears it into the second level. However, often times he stops to make a cut and goes down with contact. He is almost as good in space as Murphy, who is a much smaller, quicker back, though. I hate to see him not be more productive.

Alley didn't get screwed, he got injured, fat, lazy, and couldn't even impress scouts as a starter at 1AA. KW is noticeably not running as well or as smart as Scott or Murphy. A big name BR wants to come to LSU to be the next Addai or Hester, not because they think up ridiculous thoughts like you have.

Some of you people really need to quit drinking the Kool-Aid. I can give you a few reasons a big time RB doesn't want to come to LSU.............. The Heisman Trophy or any of the half dozen other national awards given out to RB's each year.

Again, if winning individual awards is your top priority, then there are probably better choices out there.

Agreed, I was just making the point. I really feel like it was the reason we lost McKnight to USC.

I think what is holding KW from starting are his fumbling problems in practice

NO. He is not a classic TB because he is hesitant to aggresively hit the hole. He needs to develop significanty in this area.

Overrated Big Name RBs need not apply at LSU. If you are lazy and don't want to compete for the #1 RB position at LSU, look elsewhere. Expect tough competition if you want to be a RB at LSU!

However, if you don't make #1 RB, you better be ready to help LSU win when you are called upon. That responsibility may not interest Big Name RBs from high school.

KW is going to develop?? You're seeing what he has and it is good, not great. Miles and Crowton are getting big $$$ and want to win, win, win. To imply they are holding KW back, shows me
that that these ranters are big KW fan's and are blaming the coaches because they do no "see" KW's "real" talent. The coaches "see" what KW can do and use him appropriately. KW is talented no doubt, but if he doesn't show it on the field consistently (which he hasn't) he is not going to get to play. Not aggressive at times, indecisive with choosing a running lane, and most importantly not showing the coaches that he is the best. Look at the press conferences with Miles during the fall practices. He always mentions CS and RM more often than KW. In fact, he is mentioning Stevan Ridley more and more and seeing #34 run at the spring game and first season game, you see why. Not as fast, a few lbs smaller, but look how quick he hits the hole, goes after tacklers and makes them miss-hit as he goes uphill. KW may.. may be the most talented, but but also may, may be our fourth best TB. Just watch.

Athletes like a chance to play, play in front of big crowds, be seen on TV, and win. They get all that at LSU. So far the number one back at LSU has had his chance in the NFL. If McFadden had come to LSU do you honestly believe he would have been drafted in a later round. JR didn't lead the nation in total offense, get any votes for Hiesman, nor win a championship, but he was drafted number 1. What does that do for your theory?

Always boggles my mind how Ford is left out of conversations considering the future of LSU RBs.

just asking if you were coming out of high school and LSU was recruiting you, and you knew had ran by commitee would you sign

Dude have you been paying attention to football at all? RBBC is all the rage in the NFL. Also 5* RB's and QB's continue to sign with USC. Last week USC used at least 3 RB's most of the game. Where is this magic place that uses 1 and only 1 RB? Its should be obvious that RB is becoming a fungible position at all levels. Rare is the recruit like Peterson that can come in a be a feature back and you don't need those guy's to win. If there is some stud recruit that wants to be a 25 carry per game guy and he doesn't go to LSU, so fricking what. We will always have talent at RB and send guys to the pros.
