He was a Insiders & Rivals 4 star out of HS
He is looking at 6 schools (tOSU, Pitt, UNC, NCST, Miami and Michigan St.) tOSU, Pitt and one of the NC schools have the early edge.

We need to get this kid if possible. He fills that "dead spot" b/w Mo Hall/Ross being seniors and Pittman/Haw as freshman.

LSU had 3 freshman RB's last season, one of whom, justin Vincent, had a big year. instead of batteling it out w/ them for 3 years, he wants a fresh start.
Yes he does have to redshirt, but after sitting out he would be a sophmore in 05 just like kennedy would have, although kennedy may have been a R-shirt possibility.

Not a bad recruit to have around, but I can't help but cringe a bit at the idea of OSU taking the kid that lost the battle for PT. This isn't UNLV.
Tough to argue you are the #1 RB recruit out of HS but not the number one recruit at LSU.
To be clear on the question above a transfer does not have to wait for a 'scholarship' - only to be eligible to play. |

I thought the same thing. This is tOSU we shouldn't need anyones hand-me-downs especially at running back. |

edwards is one of the best special teams players on the team
and a quality backup RB, as well as a leader with his
emotion. if he's leaving its fine we can understand why since
he is behind 2 better rb in the same class

he
was a huge problem. It was only a matter of time before he
got kicked off the team. If he does come back, he won't
make through the season, I guarantee it.

those are the quotes i found on an lsu board.. im not sure if we really want this guy. | |
