I think he'll play where we need him. I look at him like I do Eddie Williams. He's going to be good no matter where he plays.

Bo, Fournette, and Derrick Henry are all outstanding RBs in high school but don't quite fit the mold of a typical college RB. All 3 may look more like a LB than RB, but there are always exceptions to the rule and they could all wind up being great college RBs. Herschel and Bo Jackson didn't fit the mold either.

If Bo grows to 6'3" he would make quite a weapon as a 245# H-back or at SAM.

Bo is too good to play H imo.

^ This. Bo is going to be way too good to waste away at H-back. Plus, if we keep him, we have OJ Howard coming in to be our jack of all trades offensive weapon.

Only if you limit H-Back as Smelley defined it. I was thinking more along he lines of Vernon Davis / Tony Gonzalez / Aaron Hernandez.

That will be OJ Howard's position if we can hold on to him.

He's certainly in better shape at that age than I was.

I think he could play RB if he doesn't grow anymore. If he gets up to 6'3" he would be too tall. I get the feeling that the coaches are recruiting him as a WR though.

Where do we stand with the #3 recruit nationally? I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but I know he is an O-lineman.

If we got him, Foster, and Robert...

He's listed us in his top 3 but it's a UF/UGA battle realistically

From LA as well.

quote:

LSU caught Tunsil’s attention this fall with their dominate play on the field. He does have an interesting connection to the Bayou Bengals though. “I’m from Louisiana so that’s why I really like LSU and that’s where most of my family lives. I was born there and then I moved when I was five.”


I saw that on the recruiting board the other day. If he doesn't visit however then I don't even consider him an LSU recruit. If he visits then we might make some noise.
