    This is my fear as well... My hope is that we can turn them into a passing team which plays into our strength... I just don't think we have the bodies up front so make it happen...

    Jackson will be playing on Sundays next season. He has elevated his game to become the kind of lock down corner that gets drafted in the top 10. Tolliver should stay but he will probably choose to play for pay too. Williams is a senior too and we only have Brossette and Clyde Edwards-Helaire coming back at RB so we need to sign a couple of big time recruits at that position. Chark is a senior and no other WR's have stepped up to that level yet.

    Definitely a need at tailback, a need at receiver as well, but that's something that LSU always seems to recruit and recruit well. More concerned with Defensive and Offensive line.

    I don't keep up with recruiting anymore. Do we have any really good tailbacks coming in next year? We've won alot of games and been spoiled with Fournette and Guice back to back. That, to me, is a big concern. Especially if the QB play doesn't improve.

    There's definitely been improvement. There is no doubt of that.

    It's not just Fournette and Guice. We've been pretty blessed since Kevin Faulk with always having some strong tailbacks.

    True but Fournette and Guice are the first 2 truly special first round talents since Faulk. Guys like thst don't come around all that often and they don't always sign with LSU. Too bad Sequan Barkley isn't a high school senior who wants to be a Tiger.

    We won more games with Addai and the others. The draft is irrelevant. What have they won here. Neither have stayed healthy enough to carry their team their Heisman years.

    Fournette was healthy and the frontrunner for the Heisman before Les kept running him into a brick wall vs Alabama.

    Clyde Edwards-Helaire 5-8, 208, FR
    is supposed to be a clone of Guice. He is returning kicks for us now.
