I think Fogle only played one year here, 72-73, the last year before the death penalty. That was Lamar's last year. Don 't remember if Fogle was a 5 star. Your memory is probably better than mine.Quote:

Remembering those days, man I feel old. Feels good though to watch our Cajuns now. Fun group to follow.
There were no star ratings back then but Fogel was generally considered the #1 prospect in the Chicago area.....Ebron would have been a 5.....Toney was Mr. Basketball in High School in Alabama....George Almones was a premium prospect in Football...
I agree Mike. Getting a 5 star like Brown would certainly help to maintain success during the regular season and would be the kind of talent needed to have a reasonable chance of some post season success as well. It could also possible lead to attracting other higher profile players to Louisiana as well.Quote:

It would also be cool to have 3 former players' sons to come in one class.
Kobe Julien (Wayne), Jordan Brown (Dion), and Eli Mouton (Eric)
Speaking of basketball...does anyone know why a guy like Seneca Knight from Northside is not getting more attention on the recruiting front? He is a 6'6 kid that can shoot and play above the rim. He looks a lot like Tiras Wade.
Grades? Don't know.Quote:

Basketball did the black-out thing a few weeks ago. They handed out t-shirts on campus, available at Red Zone, etc.Quote:

I was a student during the T-Wade era. That guy was fun to watch. I wish he would have stayed for his final year. No doubt he would have been drafted if he had stayedQuote:
