If you are into who has offered, you won't be happy with the offers. I can tell you that.

Northern Colorado, Northwestern State and Weber State. His brother committed to Arizona State.

Yes, I am always interested in others that have offered. Not the best company but let’s turn him into an all SBC Player!

Thanks

These are from his 247 page, on twitter he also mentions offers from Jackson State and Lamar.

He is very similar to Wiser, meaning he started one season in JC and has 3 more years of eligibility. This was Billy Napier's approach and Coach Desormeaux has continued it, signing only JC athletes that have 3 years of eligibility. Because of the Portal, skilled athletes that have only 1 yr. of starting experience will not be in high demand unless they were highly ranked coming out of HS and were placed there by P5. You can find athletes at DB and WR all over the place. Quality DL and OL are a different matter, all programs will take them were they find them.

To answer your question, he doesn't have any major offers. That doesn't concern me because Wiser didn't either. If he can play, it will begin with working his way into the depth chart.

I'm calling my shot now, Shad is gonna be first team SBC in 2024. Screenshot it.

That is a huge take. I hope you are correct.

Shad is a stand up dude.
I know he is, because otherwise he would be Shaq

I'm sure Louisiana can learn to cope with "two and toodle-oo" somehow.

Kentucky has John Calipari who is one of the best recruiters ever. He also just keeps loading up year after year so one and done is nothing for him to deal with because he always knows he has another stud coming in. I don't see how that situation can be comparable to ours.

Kentucky basketball is borderline irrelevant these days.

He never has experience.

Louisiana can get decent enough players to where two years of experience can make a difference.

Remember, every school is dealing with attrition, so good coaching is all UL will need going forward.

Now I get it.

Well, looks like we may be losing one of our freshman running backs to another in-state school also.

So far, not impressed with this staff's ability to retain players or recruit highly ranked talent.

I hope it is a lack of resources driving the roster turnover. Anything outside of that is concerning.

It's not Perry or Davis, it's probably Kendrall Williams who has been battling back from knee injuries the past two seasons. It might be the best move for him personally because he is not going to play ahead of Perry or Davis.

Is that the Many or Carencro kid?

The portal is closed and he is not a graduate transfer. I’m confused.

I'm not sure where experience really plays in here since you were initially talking about one and done and how he's managed it all these years. I was just saying its hard to compare our two situations since he's just reloading with other top talent when talented guys leave. We don't have that luxury.

The diamonds that are developed here get poached and all we can do is hope to replace them with diamonds in the rough. Tough exchange no matter how you slice it.

It’s really demoralizing as a fan. I wish the NCAA would do something about it but they won’t.
