Good info, sir and what you claimed makes 100% sense! Shorter is by far the best available option for LSU for the other back (assuming LSU signs him). IF LF went elsewhere, Shorter becomes even more important. This is flat out bizarre that a running team like LSU signs 0 RBs the last 2 years and hasn't even offered a scholarship to a 2nd back that they actually have a chance of signing. :angry:

I assume he had a cast on his left ankle correct? :lol:

Hey, he still has those supposed offers from Florida and Georgia? :rotflmao:

Yeah, and look at 3 things:]
1) Where they are ranked by the services
2) Their rather skimpy list of offers
3) Neither has an offer from LSU

IMO, Shorter is the class of the field of potential LSU signees at RB NOT named Leonard Fournette. To not push for the guy or accept his commit is downright :wtf:

who isn't but 1 RB in 3 years is a little bit under the fishing limit I believe. What happens if God forbid an injury occurs? And shifting someone to RB who hasn't played it or may not physically be able to hold up or take the punishment is pretty stupid IMO. Shorter IMO is better than Williams from what I've seen. Of course, LSU doesn't seem to offer any RBs ever but guys they have no chance for like Hurd (other than Fournette of course).

Correct, that is supposed to be who he is down to but he was reported to be at the LSU camp. To me, that pretty much shuffles those "favorites" up quite a bit IF LSU pushes for the guy. IF LSU pushes for him, my guess is they get him. LSU has been on the guy quite a while and his offers are flat out great!

Sean White was visiting and came and left without an offer. But the GIVEN is that if Harris selects LSU, 5 seconds later White's cellphone will ring and Malzahn will be on the line.

That is the longer interview but there was the other one where he actually criticized the coaches when he decommitted and said he had been trying to get hold of them for several days and they wouldn't get back to him. Of course, even in this interview, he seemed a bit pissed they delayed taking his commitment and also he was thinking they would offer the R Shaw guy.

Mine would be, and I'm not going to gap the difference although not a bad idea:

Dupre
Noil
Blacknall
Upchurch
Quinn
D Williams (1 year availability is HUGE!)

LSU isn't offering Sims due to numbers, and he seems to be falling a bit in the services rankings, so I'll take the coaches and the services ranking on him.

He's in there now...I simply forgot to type him in. Your observation was correct! :cheers: I did take out D Williams because I don't want LSU to sign 6 WRers even if Upchurch may not end up there as a TR WR...because he will be catching the ball from some position on offense.

Obviously, he would know more than anyone if he attended camps. I made the mistake of trusting Scouts.com list where the only camp they had checked was LSU. To be fair, Houston wasn't even on his interest list so maybe that prevented the "check mark" from being posted. :lol:

I brought up Claiborne myself as a HOPEFUL comparison in recruiting. The difference is when Claiborne finally got video out there, I SAW what the coaches saw. Fair Park was a NOTHING football school...missed the playoffs 15 straight years. He played QB and literally carried that team into the playoffs playing QB. Ramirez doesn't strike me the same way that Claiborne does. I trust the coaches to a large degree but I don't think we want to start listing the obscure players they have missed on. A lot more obscure ones they have missed on that they have hit on. They hit on Claiborne...they hit on Mathieu...missed on many more than that.
