Transfers from Ball State
Looks like Pat Mensah played a part in getting him here.
A big body for DL, 1 year of eligibility.
One thing i cant ever understand is why recruits never call us UL or Louisiana on twitter....I know we won the name game but this one always bothered me...especially the local high school recruits....
The recruiters are not using the proper name.Quote:

Then train them. Educate them on the university. Don't just send them out. We are sometimes our own worse enemies.Quote:

Other coaches that are recruiting these kids are telling them not to go to “ull, Lafayette, ulala etc…Quote:

A couple of weeks ago I saw where an acquaintance with two degrees (one from Louisiana) posted a very pro Louisiana post on Facebook supporting Louisiana but referencing them with that acronym. I sent her a polite text and her response was “very sorry, I have seen that every where and thought it was an acceptable reference. Thanks for the heads up.”
Another example was shown in the Acadiana Cane Cutters announcement of Louisiana players. It was found that the reference went out and was prepared by staff with absolutely no ill will or agenda involved. Again it was corrected and hopefully that correction will create good will with Cajun fans and cause them to take in a game or two or ten, enjoy
Some summer baseball and have a beverage or two.
This is still a marathon and not a sprint. If the faithful continue to address this in a civil way, one at a time, to those who are merely naive, it will get better and better in the long run.
If we crucify the naive, it will only get worse.
And of course, there will always be those with an agenda, but at some point they will be recognized by the general public as the petty people that they are. We are just not there yet.

Well, driving around town I’ve seen multiple Southern Jaguars non mechanical billboards on major roads. And the best UL could do was one on Cajundome Blvd.Quote:
