This is way, way to early but there is some stud RB from ARK (whom CParso has referred to before) who is a huge LSU fan in the 2010 class.
The only service that has Ford outside the top 100 at this stage is Rivals. Look no further than Mike S. at TB for the reason...he has stated publicly that he thinks Ford is overrated and even went so far as to say there would be no La. RBs offered early for 09. Lack of a push by Mike S. is directly responsible for his low Rivals ranking...since he is one of the very few people who have seen La. recruits (and that is pushing it a little since he doesn't do much).
As philter said, his name is Michael Dyer. He was recently named the EA Sports National Sophomore of the Year. Here's a great article about him: LINK
From Mr Dyer: "LSU has always been my team since the fifth grade," Dyer says. "I watched them and liked how they hit hard and run hard. At camp, they showed us a clip of the best plays. I saw that, and that is where I want to be. It's all about team. If I have a chance to go there, that is where I want to go, if they still play like a team." I think we still play like a team last time I checked. Welcome aboard young man.
if he is a big LSU fan like he says then won't he hate Ar-kansas with a passion and b/c of that we don't have to worry about him going there? how soon can this kid commit?
Rivals has seen him. The only reason he isnt in the top 100 is because he didn't play much last year. They think he had top 100 talent before that they just want to see him after his injury. Very little doubt he will move way up.
here is a good video of Michael Dyer: http://www.fridaynighttouchdowns.com/videos/video.cfm?videoid=52
I wonder if Ford's 40 in Rivals is accurate or is he actually faster. He seems to have an extra gear.
