In hindsight, Leonard Fournette should have come to Alabama

There'd be no question as to his legacy. Instead of being known as the best that never was, he'd be known as tGOAT.

You have to think a lot of Louisiana kids that face this same choice in the future will look at him as an example, a cautionary tale of what could happen if you make the wrong choice. Gotta figure that's probably a big reason Dylan Moses is rolling with the tide.

So Bama begging for MORE 5star recruits? You wanna a whole backup team of 5stars now. shite frick off man. LF7 will become everything he could've been at Alabama in the pros. That's what matters. Not playing for a midget

I guarantee he would disagree with that statement.

He would have been our version of Bo Jackson had he come to Alabama. I really think he can be that good with the proper offense around him. He was never surrounded by superior talent with the offensive line product that LSU has put on the field during his time their. IT is clear that they just simply do not know how to catch offense in Baton Rouge under this staff.

Is that what matters to you most as an LSixU fan? That your players go on to have good NFL careers?

Some people want to represent their home state...

I think probably the most revealing thing is that he doesn't appear to have gotten any better in his time at LSU. He still looked just as hopeless against Bama as ever last night. Honestly feel kind of bad for the guy at this point.

He'd have more rings, more trips to NYC, less wear & tear, and better coaching. There's really no doubt he would've been better off.

Is it true that Bo Scarbrough had more rushing yards than LF last night?

I doubt he'd be any better than the backs we've had/have tbh.

Henry is actually a good point of comparison. Could've stayed and played in his home state. Instead had the ambition to come play for the GOAT. Improved every year he was there. Won the Heisman and the 'ship. Got drafted. The dream fulfilled.

I think that he was able to improve so much in his time there really says a lot, especially if you compare that to how we've seen Fournette never really be able to take the leap to that next level of greatness.

I think he is happy with his decision, even despite the outcome of his games against Bama. But it is fun to think about. When he starts wrecking shite in the NFL next year, what Saban and Bama have done against him will seem even more impressive than it does now.

He didn't want to. He doesn't like Alabama.

They teach you about Capitalism at LSixU?
