I can't remember anyone off the top of my head that Tulane has stolen from us that we were really after.


Matt Forte. Saban got reedy. Forte had really good grades, so he tried to get him to walk on so he could free up another scholly and sign one more player. Forte got pissed off about it and walked. He would have been a beast, but it isn't like we were hurting at RB at the time.

Only way this could be true is if LSU didn't recruit him at all.

We only signed Hester in that class. Top running backs in the state went elsewhere.
