oh hell.
So in the 100+ year history of LSU's football program, the BEST player they've EVER had from LA is a guy that has currently played 2 years there and doesn't even have a division title to show for it? Hmmmm

Not one of you has a homegrown player that will EVER come close to Reggie's greatness.

I've only watched him against Arkansas
Not impressed

I'd say for LSU it should be Kevin Faulk.
He chose LSU when most of the top players were going everywhere BUT LSU. Signing him was the start of LSU's turnaround.
LF may be a better player, but Faulk was the more important recruit.

quote:I could make a case for Cornelius "Biscuit" Bennett, born in Birmingham, Alabama.
Alabama
Best: Julio Jones, Foley High
Bennett made 1st team AA 3 times at Bama (1984, 1985, 1986), 3× All-SEC (1984, 1985, 1986), SEC Player of the Year (1986) and won the Lombardi Award (1986). Pros he was 5× Pro Bowl (1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993), 3× All-Pro (1988, 1991, 1992), & 2× AFC Defensive Player of the Year (1988, 1991).
Cornelius Bennett is in the College HOF and the Pro HOF.
Julio was great but he can never be in the College HOF because he never made AA.

I thought the Aggy's bought Eric Dickerson a Trans Am so he would sign with aTm? Oh that's right he drove it to SMU

Is this list only for the last 10 years? Looks like it.

Lynn Bomar
Josh Cody
Bill Spears
Chris Gaines
Wesley Johnson

No offense to Leonard but he has not topped the status of Cannon just yet. In fact I'd still rank Tommy Casanova, Bert Jones and Kevin Faulk above Fournette. Let's revisit in a year.

Fournette shouldn't be LSU's, yet.

Wasn't Forrest Gump from Greenbow?

John Hannah for us. He was born in GA but grew up in AL.

Any list that doesn't have Tim Couch as tops for UK, I'm not real sure what to say.
He was the #1 pick in the NFL Draft for God's sake.

I'd put Kevin Faulk there instead of Fournette, at least for now
