    Lattimore announced this week. Knile Davis is said to have decided he's leaving. Lacy is going to announce after the game. Blue, along with LaDarius Perkins and Rajion Neal are the juniors in the conference this year that stick out to me...

    Any word, rumor, etc.?

    I would think Spencer Ware would declare before Alfred Blue.

    Blue is the best of the LSU Jr. bunch and would make a nice living in the NFL.

    I had it in my mind he was a senior and came in with the class of 2009.

    Was he one of the very early commitments of the 2010 class and I'm getting dates confused?

    He may have been, but your mind is playing tricks on you in the fact that Ware was the the back, out of all the the 2012 junior tailbacks, that made a quicker impact and played more in 2010, except for maybe Michael Ford because Ford redshirted his freshman year. So I'm thinking maybe you thought Ware was a SR because it seems like he has been here longer due to recognition, impact, and playing time.

    Disagree, I think Ware is probably the most pro ready back, Blue is definitely the better runner on the edge and by no means a slouch inside the tackles, but Ware IMO is a better blocker, runner inside the tackles, and receiver. So I would say at this point it's Ware.

    That's very likely.

    I'm not sure Blue's resume is good enough yet, to at least get drafted high enough to make a difference, he is a very good back, but his resume is not eye poping yet.

    If Blue stays healthy, it's doubtful you see the emergence of Hill in all his splendor. Ware wasn't even a distant distraction to his reps. But to be fair, I kinda knew Hill was going to rise quickly with the fuss Bama was making over him. Whether others go or not, Hill will be a handful the next few years.
