re: LSU fans - Leonard Fournette

I feel the same way about our backs coming in.

is 6ft 200 pounds really THAT rare these days? Seems like every rb is that big or close.

I know you're trolling but I'll dignify it with a response. 6' 200 lbs in and of itself is not exceptionally rare although it is great size for any high school running back. But 6'1" 220, running a 6.57 in the 55meter dash is exceptionally rare. Then combine that with vision, willingness to block, and soft hands, with the production to back it up since he was a freshman (and at the highest level of Louisiana HS football). LF isn't just rare, he's been a phenom ever since his freshman year. It's not fair to place the label on him but he is the Adrian Peterson of La HS football.

And it's rare enough to be rated the #2 or 3 player in the entire country in his class. To just write it off as "solid potential" is showing your arse. Every single recruit has "solid potential" or else they wouldn't be recruited. Some have the potential to be much more special than others.

Every elite rb puts up crazy stats. It' seems pretty easy to do when you're bigger, faster, and stronger than everyone else.

Then you can easily show me plenty of 6 foot 200+ lb freshmen in high school RBs who threw up 1000+ yards in big classification football averaging 10+ yards a clip and 20+ TDs.


I'll sit and wait at the risk of becoming the old guy at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on this one.

Fournette is going to be a stud wherever he ends up. He's no Adrian Peterson but nobody is.

star rankings are meaningless once they enroll. only highly ranked players at certain positions can dominate on mediocre teams and the RB position in the SEC isn't one of them. If Trent had played at Kentucky, do you folks actually believe he would have been a 3rd overall pick? LF's success in college will have as much to do with where he signs as his talent level if not more.....

Sounds like a tough choice.


He can go to Alabama, win 3 ncs go #1 in the draft and win MVP, be inducted into the nfl hall of fame, and then ascend into the pearly gates

Or


He can play for lessss. Get it?

Actually we don't really want him. Not a commutable offer

3 starting RBs drafted in the 1st rd the last 4 yrs at Bama

I'm going to be interested to see how Cam Cameron's impact at OC will affect the LSU run game this yr...how many OL are returning?

You're right Bucc, it's not a bad comparison because TJ Yeldon is probably Fournette's floor

Still being a hard arse, ACL?
