Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton Says it will probably come down to LSU and Tulsa. I still believe this is a foregone conclusion and he will be a Tiger.
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton So, let's get this straight. We have a 3-star RB/FB with a CO that is still deciding between LSU and Tulsa, and a 5-star RB who looks like a young Adrian Peterson who does not have a CO but really wants to be a Tiger. Now, don't get me wrong, it sounds like Singleton is a quality guy and a stud, the next Jacob Hester, etc, etc. But, C. Michael sounds like a hard worker with great quality by all accounts I have read, and gets the ball in the end zone. This does not seem to meet the logic test to me. I do agree with others comments that the player should visit before a CO, and to not go by the rating systems, etc, but come on, we need to offer CM, too.
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton We already have 2 stud RB's in this class. We don't have a FB for the future.
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton Maybe we do. What about this walk on Steele Hull? We've had walk-on FB's before.
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton If we did, our coaches would not be so insistant on taking a FB in this class despite limited scholarships & the high quality of guys we're in the running for.
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton Singleton Commits to Tulsa. I assume he felt better about his chances of being primarily a RB there compared to the hybrid and competition at LSU. I would say he probably made the correct choice but would have loved to see what he could have done at LSU. http://www.tulsaworld.com/sports/article.aspx?articleID=20080917_94_Full744416
Re: RB/FB Alex Singleton I feel like we have enough players that could be converted to the FB position to where we will be ok. Ridley may end up there. Prater as well. FB is so much a non-factor in the Crowton offense. I felt all along we have bigger fish to fry that to get a FB in this class. Same goes for the punter we picked up.
