Tell that to Desormeaux.

Desormeaux knows exactly what we need to field a winning roster . . . RP, not so much . . . but rest assured, if there is anything RP knows, it will be voiced here for CMD to pick and choose from . . .

It is to be figured out. He didnt put a winning roster on the field last year so it remains to be seen if he is correct in his approach.

You do understand that he only could sign 12 last season, and he got raided after the bulk of the qualifying good players were gone. So far this year he’s signed 27 with a select few being transfers and JUCO.

I believe he’s also brought in several PWO players who might have specialized skillset. Some mentioned the kid Cesar from Church Point I believe being projected as an athlete instead of quarterback.

12 may have been an accurate number when he took over, but for every player that was raided or lost, he was free to fill the void.

Most of those happened after the spring signing deadline. And how many players we wanted were actually available at that point. Finally they had two offensive linemen who were projected to start that never played a down due to spring injuries, and a third, Burton, who was never 100%.

Not excuses just facts. He needs to get better on play calling, and player execution. I’ll take a class like this years every year.

I do understand. That's why it is to be figured out. We will see what happens

Nice offers. Including Pitt, Virginia, Tulane and Florida St. Interesting they had a 99.3% prediction of landing at Tulane. We weren't even listed with an offer.

So, this is probably not going to make you and a few others excited. Donaldson was committed to Boston College as late as January 23rd. He lost all of his offers for some reason and had very few options. He played WR and OLB at Newman HS this past season. He is coming to UL on a PWO at OLB. His build and agility led to comparisons to Andre Jones coming out of HS. There are no more scholarships available at the WR position unless someone leaves after spring.
