Everyone is really high on Fournette, and rightfully so for the most part, because he is a good talent.
But what sets him apart from players like TJ Yeldon, Jeremy Hill, Eddie Lacy, etc coming out of high school? I feel like he is the most highly touted HS running back in quite some time, and I just don't see what sets him apart from the rest.

This isn't an elaborate corn dog joke is it?

His size and speed combo along with his balance. He also has great vision and catches the ball very well. The only thing he has to work on really is blocking.
ETA: He also cuts and makes people miss incredibly well for someone his size

Most overrated back in a long time.

Mediocre attempt, but will garner angry responses. 3.5/10

He can sit on the bench next season and LSU will still hang 30 on Missy St....Nice troll bro!!

6'1"-6'2" 225-230# with incredible power, balance, elusiveness and good hands. Won the 4A 100m with a 10.6 Biggest thing that may help him is his demeanor, humility, attitude and work ethic. That goes a long way towards growth, leadership and showing upperclassmen that you're there to earn. Like any frosh, he'll need to learn the playbook and how to pick up blocking schemes. He could be a legend or the next Brian Darden. Time will tell. I never start running my mouth about recruits before they play. I'll take a wait and see approach. I expect him to take the LSU #7 and run with it. No pun intended.

Great player.....Has alot of the qualities that Gurley has with probably more top end speed but less grown man power but that may mature over time. Real good get for LSU.

Athletically as talented as any - the smarts & character few can match.

Something about his film just makes your jaw drop. He will be a tremendous leader for our team too, you can just feel that by watching/ learning more about his work ethic. Great head on his shoulders too. Really hope he lives up to the hype....I won't be able to stand another Russel Shephard type scenario

Roc Thomas and Derrick Henry's film>>>>>>

I don't know where all the hype is coming from, after watching his highlights I was underwhelmed, not much speed, very little strength, I don't see what everone sees in him. Nothing for you guys to worry about. He will be wearing #7 I think.

LF also played against top tier Louisiana talent...

Roc Thomas played top comp. at Oxford. Yulee on the other hand, did not.

He's the best back this year, but to see the LSU recruiting board calling him and Adrian Peterson equals is laughable.

Its not just the LSU board. In fairness, everyone is hyping him to be the next AP.
Posted on 1/14/14 at 9:27 pm to Woopigsooie20
Actually ESPN was saying that he could be "the next Adrian Peterson" after his high school game was shown on their network this year but yeah... LSU fans just always make shite up on their own. No other fanbase overhypes their players.
