Does LSU have a shot at DeAnthony "Black Mamba" Thomas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKLoGzaGw7E [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKLoGzaGw7E[/MEDIA]
Franklinton QB Terrance Magee has been offered as a RB. Great athlete who could play a number of positions but a great compliment to Hilliard and Hill.
Thats stranger, I heard he wants to play QB, do you think he will commit and be tried out at a number of positions.
Based on his comments it sounds like he understands he is not a QB at the college level. I am sure some schools will come in and tell him he has what it takes to spark interest in their program though. I think he is the perfect fit because the staff wants to take 3 RBs in 2011 and top guys around the nation will see we have 2 very highly rated RBs already on board and we won't look that attractive playing time wise. Magee fits the mold where he could be used like Shep this year. Put a redshirt on him and see where he has the most success.
So Hillard wont redshirt, thats what I am assuming. Also, I assuming that Calhoun moves to slot WR, which leaves Ford, Ware, Gore, and Ridley all competing for carries in 2011 with 3 possible freshman RBs on the roster. I like the depth but by Wilson's philosophy we will have 1 featured back and all those guys trying to be that guy. How is that going to work out.
Not really sure at this point but we could see 2 of our 3 RBs redshirted next year. Blue should also be included. I see Gore as a RB/slot WR too who mainly contributes on special teams his 1st year or 2. Blue could grow into a LB but not sure if that will happen or not. Ware can play anywhere because he is a great athlete with great size. Great problem to have.
