I was just listening to BJ (CajunT) on Stevie P's show and I must say he got me pumped up our recruits. Thanks, B.J., for the great information on the Cajuns and today's signing prospects.

By the way... I urge any and all of you who can afford to do so to join CAJUNS RED ZONE for $89 for a year's subscription. Its a great way to keep up with UL sports... and support B.J. for what he does... not to mention that much of the money goes to support Cajun Athletics.

Notre Dame K Hunter Stover and LB Jacob Molbert getting ready to officially "sign" for local media at 8 a.m.

Stover has already signed his NLOI.

Thanks a lot Josh I am high on Andre Huval having a good UL career.

Good updates, Josh. Thanks

Thanks. Being out-of-state here in the snowy northeast, appreciate your updates. Can someone print a total list of players, their position, school and when they sign?

Thanks,

Trigger..O..

See the list at the end of the most recent blog.

My blog on a big-name tailback signing with the Cajuns:

Thank you for the information. This looks to be one of our best recruiting classes when everyone has signed. Where do you think we will be ranked out of the 119 or so D-1 programs? And by who?

I see a lot of first team players in the group for our 2010 team, what are your impressions?

Thanks,

Trig;)

My blog on a three-star recruit set to sign in a few minutes:

http://www.theadvertiser.com/apps/pb...Id=personaDest

On paper, this class looks to be the best in the Bustle era. My only concern is the size of all three backs that we signed. Yes, they are talented, but two 5'8" guys and a 5'9" guy is pretty small. I know they have time to grow a bit, so its not a huge deal, but I worry about pass blocking and the beating that RB's take throughout a season.

Still stoked about the class though.

I might also mention that the schools that either offered or were in contact with Spikes didn't seem to have a problem with his height. If we are waiting for the 6'2" guy to sign with us, it probably won't happen for a while.

Cajuns add three more signees:

This may make you feel a little bit better (post collegiate NFL listed height and weight):

Barry Sanders 5'8" 200lbs
Emmitt Smith 5'9" 216lbs
Walter Payton 5'10" 200lbs
Dalton Hilliard 5'8" 196lbs
Warrick Dunn 5'9" 187lbs
Thurman Thomas 5'10" 200lbs

These guys weren't all that good in their collegiate and NFL careers with all that weight and height impairment, but they managed to cope.

If this thread doesn't get your blood pumping a bit faster, you're just not into UL football!
