    I just have a really good friend who's coaching him this year who's a Saban worshipper. Crutchfield is a major Saban guy too. Even my friend thinks LF should and will choose to stay home, but he's not positive. His Dad asked Crutch to stay out of it other than facilitating meetings with college coaches visiting the campus. I'm assuming he knows if Crutch gets in his head the well could be poisoned a la Landon Collins. Even though Crutch didn't coach him he had his means of getting to him.

    It's not out of the realm of possibility.

    Leonard Fournette would make a serious miscalculation should he select the Crimson of Alabama for a variety of reasons.

    No Louisiana running back playing for Nick Saban's Crimson Tide does squat in the NFL. (this is my honest + admittedly biased point of view)

    Ed Lacy is a native, true but I await his rookie statistics as a starter...


    Another valid important fact is Alabama sends their talent to the NFL with multiple injuries.

    It's actually quite crowded at Alabama for running back with a lot of very young talent for 2013 headed by Yeldon...

    And... looks like 2014 will be even more crowded at Alabama even without Fournette...

    There sure is something to what Tusk said, "Guys like Fournette believe in themselves and then what makes them tick kicks in. He ain't worried about no stinkin competition." --- Of course, you can spin it another way --- Guys like Fournette believe in themselves, know that they will make a difference where ever they go and don't need to look for any greener grass that what he finds at home in Tiger stadium.

    I wouldn't worry about Fournette landing anywhere other than LSU.

    LF will see the light! The stable doors will be open for Mr. LF in TIGER stadium to replace any stallions headed to the NFL !!!
