How did he rank coming out of high school? He wasn't even one of the top backs in La. The year he signed with Alabama. Would you trade our best back for him and who is our best?

He's good but not near Trent Richardson good.

He would just be another back in the big mix we have here. Not a guy who would eat up like 200-250 carries.

He'll run just fine behind Bama's OL which is loaded though...and no I wouldn't trade any of our backs for him...not because he isn't good I just think it's a lateral move either way.

He's actually a pretty quality back. He has had some injury issues, so I don't think he's reached his potential.

With bama's offensive line, they can make any running back appear better. Expect to see a three headed rotation between their backs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him in NY for the Heisman ceremony at the end of the season.

Will be a very good running back. Great spin move and quickness. But he seems to be injury-prone so I'll take our stable of backs over him. He's a still a great RB regardless.

He was a 4-star. He will be average compared to his two predecessors. He is occupying TJ Yeldons spot, until Yeldon is ready. That is all.

He was the #2 rated back behind Michael Ford.

cant for the life of me figure out why people seem to think lacy is not one of the best backs in the country this year? he has fantastic size (6' 220lbs), great strength (watch him carry the entire LSU defense for a 1st down in the NC game, with turf toe), great speed ( sub 4.5 40 when healthy), better quickness and moves than ingram or richardson, and has made the most of the carries he has gotten, rushed for over 1000 so far in his career at over 7 yards per carry. if he comes back near 100% i would not trade him for any back in the country (all of lsu's backs, davis, and lattimore included).

I think Lacy is overrated. He would be in the mix for carries at LSU along with Ware, Ford, Blue, and Hilliard.

Somewhere above Dedrick Poole and somewhere below Barry Sanders

I can say that I had the honor of being trucked by Eddie Lacy in high school

I made the tackle but I still ended up on my back and he tripped over me. Good times.

He will lose the Heismen by a very close margin to AJ McCarron.

Best RB in the SEC by a long shot.

Probably the 4th or 5th best back in the league.
