Re: 2024 Signing Class - Football
The time to be concerned or happy isn’t here yet. Probably won’t be until the final count in February. We picked up 4 good projects last February to make our class very competitive with the top of the SBC.
Right now Troy is in 10th. Y’all buying that? Not me.

……not sure of actually how many freshmen played this year but to have Lunch, Davis, and (help me out with some more) playing shows his guys are pretty good!

They picked up a big commitment this past weekend on the offensive side of the football, including the DL that was committed to Texas State.

I really hope we win a few more next season. I am pulling for CMD to be another Robe, but if there is no further progress before we show off the new renovation, it would be best for the program to couple the opening of the new construction with a new direction for the program.
Either way this goes with CMD, there has to be a huge feeling of taking the next step with the program when we unveil the new stadium. We HAVE TO get that right.

I'm pulling for Mike too! You comment is spot on for the program's future.

I think that is where many of us are right now. I supported him from day one in spite of the negative backlash of his hiring because he was named the coach and what he did on the football field while playing at this program. What else was I supposed to do, cry and pitch a fit because they didn't hire a higher profile coach?
But he has to prove he can produce wins on the football field and none of us can do that for him. I need to see major improvement on the football field in performance and record. Recruiting is just a building block, results matter.

Some feel we USL’d this hire. I believe almost everyone hopes that’s not the case. I think even those people hope that the hire bares fruit.

I don’t think any Cajun fan has ever pulled for CMD to fail.
Re: 2024 Signing Class - Football
CMD mentioned in his press conference yesterday, and I haven’t previously herd him say it, losing 45 scholarship players and the start of portal NIL. He came into the job expecting a rebuild and said he expects the results on the field next year to reflect the process of the rebuild. He seems really excited about next season. Press conference between minutes 9-11 ish.

Looks like Zachary WR/DB Luke Wisham has picked up a late offer from Houston. He is no longer showing a commitment to the Cajuns.
