RB from my alma mater visiting The U !!!

The point of my post was to show Yearby and Powell (assuming he stays at RB) some love.

I'm a huge fan of Yearby and Powell's. But that doesn't change the fact that Fournette would be a HUGE get. He's a different kind of back, quite a bit bigger than Yearby and Powell. Imagine the one-two punch of having Yearby and Fournette both getting carries. It would make our running game terrifying to other teams' defenses, and thus would also further open the play action passing.

Every so often we get a recruit that NOBODY i mean NOBODY thought was possible. Jimmy did it with Jesse Armstead. Dennis did it with Jammi German. Butch did it with DJ Williams. Larry did it with Willie Willams and Randy did it with Arther Brown. Just sayin..Anything could happen and Al hasnt gotten is one "impossible recruit"... yet..

huh??...Willie was a CANE LOCK...all of that he was doing with the herald was trolling.

Larry's out of no where was James Bryant and Lesean Mccoy.

Al got his last year in Muhammad...dude wasnt even on the radar...i mean i didnt eve watch film on the kid till the army game...because i thought it was no chance.
 
On many levels this is a very good sign. Clearly, looking at our recent recruiting classes, kids are seeing that we're climbing back to national prominence. Just wait and see how this thing takes off as we near the summit.

This kid is beyond a long shot but I know some people will appreciate the update.

• Not taking OV to LSU
• Has been there so many times he knows the feel around the campus
• Wants to experience something else
• Miami and USC will definitely get two of his 5 OVs
• When asked about his other three official visits "I really don't know yet"

all i have to say is crazier things have happened but im not getting my hopes up
 
Would be fantastic earthquake in college football and send terror through the SEC. Take this kid out of LSU pass Bama and UGA though Felonsville down to Miami and stunned would espn would be. But, we have recruited LA well many times before. New Orleans can also be a town a kid might want to "get out of". I think the OV means something. New Orleans is a serious party town and South Beach vacation draw is not the same as for a kid for Nowhere Tree farm. Bama puts backs in NFL but Miami puts great backs in NFL. LSU not so much. Bama's oline down the road does not look as good as ours. Southland is gone and Art is legend. Hurlie is turning into monster recruiter. Him and Yearby following Duke into NFL with fresh legs that Saban or Will have not run into ground. I can see this kid coming here. Sure would help to smack the swamp scum around on 9-7.
 
I said this before, i think we have a great chance with this kid. Main reason is because he is visiting and the other, he seem to have a good family structure. Anytime when kids visit with their parents, the parents always seem to latch on to the academics at Miami and they also realize Coral Gables is nothing like Liberty City which some usually assume when they are from out of the area. He has made up his mind quite early to visit as well to us and USC. Am sure LSU is worried. Not every kid think you just have to play in the SEC and you automatically make it. It has been driven by ESPN. I wont be surprised if he ends up here....particularly if we have a good to great season.

I just heard from my boys back home that Leonard Fournette will visit The U !!! This dude started as a FR at St. Aug in New Orleans, which is unheard of. He's the #1 recruit in the country and the hype is real. An LSU lock per everybody, but Al Golden is going innnnnnn!!!!!

I learned a long time ago, you can't get a "yes" unless you ask. ;)
 
If he was on vacation, he would not come now. The BBQ is good but not that good. That being said, I am not holding my breath. Have to tip the cap to the staff for getting a visit from this level of talent.

Lol Tracy was never out of it to be honest. Moms was always in his ear, Malcolm was always a UM lean so that helped and he was BY FAR #1 overall so there was a chance as long as UM got that visit in the end just like with this kid

That may be true but many of Tracy's interviews he flat out said he was going away for college, getting out of Miami etc things like that. Seemed impossible to many.

Oh and that ****** PapaCane said Tracy Howard would never play a snap at Miami. Period. (Per his "good as gold" source) So there's that as well....

Difference was his mom is as big of a UM lover (being a graduated) as anybody. In the end Tracy imo didn't really have a great reason to not want to go to UM and unlike the rest of the schools it wasnt as much of a family feel literally like the rest

I agree but what I'm pointing out is the perception, that's all. Rmemeber at this exact time Bakas was telling people Miami wasn't even recruiting Tracy anymore.

That's when you remember not all the experts know whats going on. Perception is good but to say we're out of it for anybody who really is considering us I cant do that especially this early

I don'tknow this Papa Cane character. He seems to be on a lot of people's **** list's
