Glad he's coming to UL. The more locals that come and establish themselves in our program the better.
Something I never understood was when really good players go to LSU to sit the bench when they could be starting at UL. Yes, I know some may get a break at playing, but for some is it just hopes that the person in front of them gets injured so they can shine?
<! Lafayette High's Falgout commits to play at UL ->Quote:

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajun football team increased its verbal commitment number to four Wednesday evening, garnering one of the area's top wide receivers.
Lafayette High's Richie Falgout, who has recorded over 40 catches each of the last three years for the Mighty Lions, gave Cajun head coach Rickey Bustle his pledge Wednesday.
"They were the ones that were pretty much on me all the way through," Falgout said Thursday. "I had gone to games at La. Tech and Southern Miss, but I didn't take any other official visits."
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound Falgout was an All-District 2-5A selection this year with 46 catches for 612 yards and three scores in nine games. He had 41 catches for 660 yards as a sophomore and 48 grabs for 723 yards as a junior.
Falgout earned all-district second-team honors in both his sophomore and junior seasons and moved to the first team despite LHS' 4-5 overall and 2-4 league records this year. He is also a two-time All-Parish pick.
He said the Ragin' Cajuns' turnaround this year was a big key in his decision. UL, which began the season 1-5, won its last five games and grabbed a share of the Sun Belt Conference title, its first conference crown since 1994.
"I could really see Coach Bustle and Coach (offensive coordinator Rob) Christophel turning everything around," he said. "I wanted to be a part of that. There were a bunch of guys there when I took my official visit, and I got along with all of them really well."
Falgout said the Cajun offense, one that turned into one of the country's best rushing attacks this season, could be huge for the wide receivers in coming years.

"It's a really good offense," he said. "They're probably now known as a big running team, so when teams put eight people in the box against them, it's a great offense to be a receiver in. They had a lot of young receivers get experience this year, and I hope I can get that same kind of experience."
Falgout is the third Acadiana-area prospect to commit to the Cajuns, joining Catholic-New Iberia running back-linebacker Matt Desormeaux and St. Thomas More kicker-punter Tyler Albrecht. Ian Burks, a center from Denham Springs, is UL's other verbal commitment to the February signee class.
"I talked to a lot of the area guys," Falgout said, "and they said they had a feeling it's getting turned around. I'm really excited about it."

Winning will bring in this kind of talent...:ms08:
Falgout looks to be about the same size as Brandon Stokley when he came out of high school. I hope he is half as good.Quote:
