    So, what boat do you put Williford in? In his video clips he's as dominating as Pratt.

    Williford's video was the most likely reason he came out of no where and not rated a top prospect. The clips are from his 1st season on the OL and did not look great. He has improved and his performance at camp is what sparked his recruitment. Only playing one year on the OLine and other reasons make him a project for LSU and he could turn out great for us.

    Pratt is a proven back from the beginning is considered a top prospect unlike Williford.

    Williford's stock will go up with his senior season, should be a mid 4 star when all is said and done.

    Like bhem and islstl state, Williford is very young at his position and also went through the coordination problems a lot of big guys go through when they grow and grow and grow. The kid has impressed the coaches at 3 different camps and that is why his stock is soaring. He also doesn't have hardly any fat for a guy his size and has the ability to put a bunch of muscle on his large frame.

    I think he'll be less of a project than others believe him to be as he appears to be developing his coordination and skills at a pretty fast level. Like islstl says he could end up jumping higher his senior season and could conceivably jump way up the oline board.

    So the difference between him and Pratt is that Pratt has already developed and his prized for what he has already shown and the skills he already has whereas Williford is was prized by our staff for his size, potential, large amount of development since last season and of course the amazing amount of upside he has.

    Re: Dexter Pratt

    Here's another point to argue about Pratt. I think he is a fullback and is a strong contender to play as a true freshman although that's not Miles' history. He's also said he thinks Jamarkus will commit to LSU. That comment is on Rivals.

    If Pratt ends up at FB I'll be very surprised. Ridley and Theriot would be my guesses to end up there if a RB moves to that spot.

    Are people not watching his film? Why would anyone not want him at RB?

    He's a RB all the way!

    Playing devil's advocate, his film isn't readily available on youtube for free so maybe not as many people have seen it.
