Also, who is:
Phillip Jones G 5-11 175 Fr. HS Maurice, La. (North Vermilion)
Another question....
The kid Figaro for Lafayette High...is he related to the former 1,000 point member the Cajuns had way back? (Does he also play WR for LHS?)
Damon Forrest is transferring to Southeastern Louisiana. His scholarship is probably going to the post guy transferring from UNLV. Phillip Jones is a walk on from North Vermilion who is redshirting. The Lafayette High Figaro kid is the son of Kevin Figaro who played on our basketball team with Andrew Toney in the late 70's/early 80's. He did play WR this past year. From what I understand, his college future athletically is probably football. I don't know what schools are interested in him or which school he is interested in.Quote:

He was also the quarterback for our football team. Hopefully he can get a little stronger in a college weight program and get to play a little next year.
Young Mr. Figaro has some FB genes. His uncle (Kevin's younger brother, Cedric) was a LB for Notre Dame.Quote:

Our current squad has lots of local guys. Daigle and Gary are from right here in Lafayette. I believe of the 14 guys we dress, only 2 (the Dees brothers) are not from Louisiana. I know some of Randell Daigle's fans are now coming to games.Quote:
