If you look real close at his eyeblack, it reads "G. BE LSU". Well, now G. IS LSU.
Jakhari Gore is a four-star running back from Miami, Florida, and he chose LSU over offers from Alabama, Auburn, California and Tennessee. Impressive work by both Don Yanowsky, whose efforts in Florida have paid off, and new RB coach Frank Wilson.
Jakhari Gore is the cousin of San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore.

Great pickup...
…given the offensive line we have. He’ll need those shifty skills to get back to the line of scrimmage.
On a more positive note, he could be an anchor in which to pull more Miami-area recruits.
Something to note about this kid
He’s torn up one of the nation’s best high school districts, PERIOD, in South Florida. He may not have the ideal size, but sometimes a kid is just straight GOOD. Look at Quiz Rodgers.
Hopefully, that can pay off with Gore. If nothing else, gotta know he’s got genetics on his side.
One more note
Gore averaged 12 yards per carry this season. In Class 6A football, in Dade County, Florida.
That’s filthy.
Billy, do you think Gore's commit
means the staff thinks it’s unlikely we get Seastrunk? They seem like similar type backs.
CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!
If nothing else it softens the blow if he chooses to play elswhere.
Having Gore/Blue/Ware shores up the need at RB this year. Now the staff can concentrate on other areas like OL/LB/WR. In other news JUCO OL Jemarcus Hardrick de-committed from LSU and committed to Nebraska.
What's up Ryan? ARGHHHHHH!!! oops. ~ Patrick Chewing
I saw that about Hardrick
That’s tough, he was projected as a potential starter next year. And OL hasn’t been a strength this year. Greg Shaw or Chris Faulk are going to need to have to step up to replace Black (or Barksdale if he moves to LT).
CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!
I dont think so......
I think we take him if he wants to come but with blue,ware and gore we will be ok without him I just hope we can sway reed to forget Auburn and commit to LSU.
"It is What It Is"
Size means nothing...
Unless you’re talking about heart. Look at that kid from Pittsburgh, Dion Lewis, 5’ 8" 195. He ran the ball over 40 times against Cincinnati and looked great doing it.
BTW..
great pick-up for us. I share in BG’s excitement about Jakhari Gore.

Good question.
While it would be awesome to have Seastrunk, or any other five star player with a good head on his shoulders, what I want to see are kids who really want to play for the Tigers. This kid has LSU on his eyeblack stripsin his recruiting photo . That’s a great sign that he really wants to play for LSU. Maybe he’ll come in with a chip on his shoulder for being called undersized.
"what I want to see are kids who really want to play for the Tigers".
And that, Sir, is the key to it all.
We’ve had 5 stars come to PSU that apparently didn’t realize what an opportunity they had, and managed to completely botch their careers.
5 stars. High school. So what? The hard work has just begun.
We want kids that really desire to be a part of what Penn State means. We absolutely love walk-ons that make good due to attitude and work ethic. We despise hotshots that come in, dog it in practice or act like a bitch off the field, and essentially waste a scholarship.
Star rankings aren’t everything, or USC would never lose. You want kids that want to be here, and will do anything to do it, and keep it.

Still hoping for Seastrunk
But according to the people who supposedly know, that seems to be getting less likely by the day…
Honestly, something to remember, running backs grow on trees (and Louisiana is going to produce a pair of big-timers in 2011). I’m much more concerned about restocking along both lines, especially with Jamarcus Hardick jumping ship.
Agreed with everything.
Potentially epic class next year.
What's up Ryan? ARGHHHHHH!!! oops. ~ Patrick Chewing
Agree
Hardrick is probably fallout from losing Porter, but hopefully Frank Wilson can bring Anthony Johnson back in the fold.
CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!
Porter was listed on Rivals
but it’s possible they have it wrong. If it was McCarthy, that might explain why another JUCO player would find somewhere else to go.
CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!
A good line can make almost any running back look good
And as we’ve seen this year, sometimes even great running backs can’t make bad offensive lines look good.
PFFT to Gore and Blue .......
Miles has lost Seastrunk, Mcknight, Ray Lewis, Eddie George, Mean Joe and lots of others.
All I know is that Miles is Teh Sucks and SABIN RAWKS and is going to Dominote the SEC for yearzzz!!
