I just watched video on both running backs. Michael appears to be more of an all-purpose back and Richardson appears to be more of a north and south runner. It looks to me that we also have recruited a runner like Richardson in Ford. Michael, from the little I've seen, appears to have some decent hands and the ability to break a run on any play. Richardson may be rated higher, and I'm sure he's ab great back, but it looks to me that Michael would be a better fit within this recruiting class and within this system.

Michael is one of those pissed off I backs that can run north/south too.

Richardson is probably a tad more shifty, but Michael gets the tough yards, and can still make D Backs look stupid on angles.

Richardson is the better back.

Which back fits in our class would be a better debate as Lando brought up.

The LSU coaching staff is making it pretty well-known which back they think is better and want more.

Why is Richardson the better back?

I agree that Richardson is better, but it isn't by much.

Richardson has more to his repertoire. Michael just likes punishing, but he has legit 4.4 speed.

Rich is the better back it appears but yes like you said Michael would be the better fit for LSU given that they already have Ford, and Pratt locked up.

I'm judging this by offers, film, and what the LSU coaching staff and other experts are saying.

Well Michael is between us and A&M and will decide before the season. I say we go after him as much as possible and if we lose out there is still Richardson. But because Richardson is a Bama commit, I would go after the much better chance (CM).

Barry Every seems to think Michael is the better of the two.
