Desi Steib to Minnesota. He just visited there this weekend. Same deal as McCray. The kid was torn between UL and La Tech. Heart said go to La Tech, head said go to UL. Took the visit to Minn, and facilities did the rest.
Hear that Lamar Morgan committed to Ga Tech on Monday after his visit, but then committed to us on Tuesday. Don't really know what's the deal with him. Think that his dad wants him to come here.

From the Advocate
CAJUNS' LIST GROWS TO 18: The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's commitment grew this week with pledges from a state high school standout and a junior college lineman.

Bunkie wide receiver/defensive back Jordan Jackson (6-6, 195) chose UL over Louisiana Tech. Offensive lineman Darwin Laidley (6-6, 285) of Compton (Calif.) College gave the Ragin' Cajuns a total of 18 commitments.

Jordan, rated the nation's No. 30 athlete by Rivals.com, was a three-time All-District 3-3A selection at free safety and Class 3A defensive MVP as a junior.

"They did a great job of recruiting Jordan," Bunkie coach Greg Hudson said. "And I think he and family really appreciated the interest they showed in him."

Jackson caught 13 passes for 248 yards and five touchdowns in Bunkie's run-oriented Wing-T offense. He also carried 18 times for 315 yards and four touchdowns.

Hudson said Jackson has his core grades but needs a test score.

Jackson had 175 career tackles and 22 interceptions, returning six of those for touchdowns, to earn a third-straight berth on the Class 3A All-State team.

I know there is no choice since D1 mandates a school maintains a certain number of scholarships, and then says you can only sign so many in a year. But has UL ever gone this deep in the juco ranks?

Anyone else hear that Lamar Morgan committed to UL?

The big ragoo hears that he committed to Ga Tech on Monday, or said he was 80% sure he would. Then Tuesday night, he committed to UL, and reaffirmed his commitment to UL today.

There is a short note on the Robe interview thread that says Lamar Morgan committed to UL.

Both Lafayette TV stations reported the committment on their 6:00pm sportscasts.

some of you were saying earlier that we were not getting many "in-state" recruits. Well as of now, 9 out of 15 high school commitments are from the great state of Louisiana The other 6 are from Texas.

Here is the "SportsNote" that Cajun Call was refering to.
