Who are you taking?

Sony Michel

or

Leonard Fournette

This is a tough one for me. Michel is the more fluid athlete (Reminding me of a Harvin/Bush), but LF's RB film is the closest to AP that I've seen since AP himself.

Tough call. Looking forward to your responses.

I'll save you every LSU fan response in this thread: Fournette.

Well, that depends. If Michel picks UGA, I will totally go with him.

Even after watching both video's I'm not really sure how you could come to the conclusion Michel is a better prospect.

Both have very impressive film. I can see arguments for both guys.

A lot would depend on the kind of offense you want to run. If you prefer something along the lines of a Chip Kelly/Urban Meyer offense you'd want Michel. If you want a traditional pro-style offense, you'd want Fournette. I prefer the latter, so I'd go with Fournette.

Michael has crazy fluidity.

Fournette is just an unstoppable force.

Fournette

Was finally able to get home and watch the videos one after the other. I stand by Fournette due to his size and speed. Who wouldn't want a TJ Yeldon in their backfield, or Adrian Peterson.

However, Sony was wow and fun as hell to watch run. If I couldn't get Fournette. Sony for sure. Kid is special and almost De'Anthony Thomas like with better size. Don't know if he has Thomas type speed, but he looks fricking fast and moves extremely well in space.

Are you joking?

Fournette, and it isnt close. His highlight film gives me the urge to write his district a letter protesting them letting a 28 year-old NFL all-pro play against 17 year olds.

I sincerely believe that almost nobody could go straight from HS to the NFL, but that kid might be the exception. I fully expect Les to run him ragged at LSU.

If Michel chooses UGA then him, if he doesn't then it's Fournette and not really close.
