Fournette no more deserves to be in the Top 10 SEC RB ranks than Coker does in the Heisman race.

See,THIS is what I was talking about earlier. This kid could turn out to be the next Herschel for all we know but he hasn't done ANYTHING yet. So since Coker hasn't done anything at Alabama,well he is going to suck but Fournette now,that is DIFFERENT.

He still has to learn the playbook,how to pick up blitzes and adjust to the speed of the game. Maybe he does just that and excels, but you are talking solely about potential and this is no different than the Coker advocates.

You constantly bringing up Buga as a comparison is just sad now.

-The #1 recruit and RB in the nation
-Going to a power running team with 3 NFL high round caliber OL starting for their second and third years. Also a senior center starting for his second.
-Playing for a coach known for playing true freshman a lot (87 in 9 years).
-Just had a true freshman RB on said team two years ago, run for 750 yards and 12 TDs in only a third of the season.
-Has a career bench warmer/last year's backup ahead of him, and another who has regressed since his freshman year. I'm sorry I bagged on them to get my point across, but it is the truth.

If I'm biased, so what? All I know is that Fournette will take the reigns by Auburn, and dominate the SEC his freshman year better than Hill did his freshman year.
